Bang on but nowhere near as bad as the Style councilThis might be controvertial but I thought the jam were gash

Think Weller was just 19 when City came out so must have been 17/18 when he wrote those tunes. Coming out with some right pish these days though.I think that might have been your age Joe
I was 17 when I first heard them in 77' and the short songs and energy were what I was looking for rather than a Yes album consisting of a couple of glacially paced tracks.
The live gigs were exciting with Paul Weller an exciting front man and a songwriter with something to say.
He became a big slaver right enough.Think Weller was just 19 when City came out so must have been 17/18 when he wrote those tunes. Coming out with some right pish these days though.
I still think That's Entertainment (title?) was their best ever and very influential for me as a fellow acky basher. He lost that rawness too soon. Later fell in with keyboard players he admired by the sound of it?He became a big slaver right enough.
I think i stuck with him musically until 2012's "Sonik Kicks" which is still in the cellophane

The Style Council was the pop equivalent of a semester abroad for Weller. He embarked on the journey with the explicit intent of broadening his horizons. He was tired of The Jam and swapped punk and mod for jazz and soul. It was interesting for a couple of years and I liked the "Our Favourite Shop" album which came out in 85'I still think That's Entertainment (title?) was their best ever and very influential for me as a fellow acky basher.

I think a lot of folk checked out with solo Weller about 97' They liked the "Stanley Road" album but the "Heavy Soul" album seemed to see most of them off. Think I picked his albums up after that if i saw them for a fiver and as I say his 2012 album is still sealed in the cellophane!
No Joe No
I’ve always preferred marmalade to jamNo Joe No
Nothing wrong with the Yes album.I think that might have been your age Joe

You could at least post one of your band better tracks
Cutting about town with a copy of "Close To The Edge" under your arm in 77' was geek alert and contraception in vinyl form.Nothing wrong with the Yes album.

My interest in music is songs and melody.Rick Wakeman.
Keyboard genius.
Only one who came close was Keith Emerson.
Quality tunes.
My interest in music is songs and melody.
Songwriting was not a strength of these guys so although I listened to much of their work back in the day I have never felt the need to revisit them in the last 40 years.
I do like that Wakeman played the Mellotron on Space Oddity and Bowie invited him to be the keyboard player in the Spiders From Mars. He declined and joined Yes instead.
He is a funny guy with good comedic timing as well as a great musician so perhaps he could combine both and release another concept album "The 4 Wives of Rick Wakeman" He was catching Henry fast for a while.
She was very hot.Met his wife many years ago when she was in Edinburgh.
Nina Carter.
Bit decent.
I was hoping for something involving booze, drugs or shagging. A fucking horse?She was very hot.
Was she visiting your camera club?
Wakeman has an extraordinary story about meeting the Queen Mother when he was a music student. Worth searching out if you don't know it.
Oh a 'camera club'She was very hot.
