Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Killing Jar

I wonder if that's pre-Thatcher?

edit:
I got that wrong, thought it was late 70s for some reason.

Watched a documentary about Roxy Music, I hadn't realised how influencial they were, it had the likes of Siouxsie Banshee, Bono and the Duran Duran bloke saying they were the bees-knees at the time.

Fun videos too, but man did Bryan Ferry in later years over-do the American crooner with perfect teeth look.

Also brought back found memories of spending a chill evening/night in a club with Phil Manzanera (Roxy's guitarist) , Andy Mackay(Roxy's sax/oboeist) and their band.

I've got two buddies who know everything possible about the Beatles but neither has ever mentioned this little nugget.  Ringo was laid up with tonsilitis and for a Dutch TV appearance they replaced him with Jimmie Nichol, "the Beatle who disappeared."

I liked a lot of their stuff, but not so much Bryan Ferry's solo material

Yeah, I think in later years he was in danger of disappearing up his own .... 

I really liked the Eno-Manzanera projects like 801, how could they only do just three gigs before coming up with a superb live album.

And 'Diamond Head' was pretty good also.

Happened to watch an old TOTP from February 1980, amongst the various pop acts, was an AC/DC performance; a bid odd and it seemed to be their original singer; turns out it was Bon Scott and arguably this was his last performance* as he drunk himself to death with a week whilst staying in London.

* this last gig with AC/DC was at the old Southampton Gaumont on the 27th January.

To be fair to Bon Scott, TOTP would drive anyone to drink.

Turns out they weren't even in the TOTP studio, it was filmed at Elstree film studios the day before, hence the spectalarly uninterested 'audience'* in the foreground.


* presumably office staff, secretaries and anyone else they could rope in.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Tarkus (1971)

I'm clearly missing something here; is there an ELP fan here who could explain why this is considered a classic? 

The cover art:



did remind me of the Spinal Tap quote as to why their audience is predominately young boys and not many females:

Nigel Tufnel: We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.

They have to rank up there as one of the bands with the biggest gap between how popular they were in their time vs how forgotten they are in later days.

Honestly it wasn't until the mighty boosh referenced them I even learned they were a thing.

Their early stuff is rather good.

My nominee for unfairly neglected great old band is The Clash.
