Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

The Light Dies Down on Broadway - Genesis

John Miles - Zaragon

MASSIVE - Guvna B Brilliant. Should have it's own thread. Buy it on Apple Music. All proceeds to Isla

Shoot Speed/Kill Light -Prml Scrm

"Bungo 7:04 Fri Jan 7 Bungo, our paths probably crossed. Sad day when the premier place to rock your face become a fuckin MC Donald's. My brothers band played there quite a few times. Stage Fright and Playn Crazy, they even made it to the Ruskin and played In front of about 2 people Yea seen Charlie's shop in Hampton got some old vintage stuff in there. Glad still going. There was another chap based down the arches under Kew Bridge that did custom work. Think I owe him afew quid for some strings and things."

Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

"yngwies Cat 6:52 Fri Jan 7 I played at The Red Lion countless times with many other deluded 'wanabees' before they turned it into a Mcdonald's. We realised in the end that it probably had the fewest 'walk-up' punters of any pub gig in the south-east! I was sorry to see Chandler's go too, but frankly it had gone massively downhill over it's last few years. I used to regard it as a premium shop, but in the end they seemed to have a very poor stock. I still go to Charlie's shop in Hampton Wick quite a bit."

The Sid Presley Experience - Hup Two Three Four

Bungo mate sounds great. They all brilliant players. Bet there wasn't much hair spray back in changing room that day We used to go and see Micky Moody do a free lunch time session down the Red Lion in Brentford back in the day. And used to see Neil Murray down at Chandler's guitar shop in Kew. Great line up. Would have liked to seen that show.

"yngwies Cat 6:13 Fri Jan 7 I remember seeing them at Hammersmith many years ago. I think the line-up was DC, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Colin Hodgkinson (or maybe Neil Murray?), Jon Lord and Cozy Powell. Almost a Who's Who of 70s/80s rock royalty."

"Anyone for a bit of Pallas,IQ, or Twelve Night :-)"

"Mike Oxsaw Pendragon seem to be getting better and better. I think it was coming out of a Marillion gig at The Town & Country Club in December 1991, and someone was handing out prog flyers, when my mate recommended I should get the new Pendragon album 'The World' so I did and its a great album I had heard of IQ in the mid 80s as they were sometimes mentioned in Kerrang. A friend lent me his LP of The Wake and I loved it. I'm not keen on their more recent albums though. Mostly Autumn have done some great albums over the years. The now defunct Classic Rock Society used to champion them, so I knew about them almost from the beginning. Great band to see live"

Indeed mate. Cheers Azel. I remember spending hours trying to learn the solo of that song. Yep great üé∏ st

"Yngwie, Saw that line up a few times. Brilliant. Rainbow, Gillan and Whitesnake were all great bands back in those days."

"That's the one mate. Fucking great album. Tonka was so underated, and was the perfect replacement to Michael."

"Been listening to a lot of Whitesnake, before they went all poodle hair Twany Kitten rock.(Still like that era mind) Mickey Moody and Berny Marsden era . ""Ere's a song for Ya"""

"azel senior 10:56 Fri Jan 7 Azel mate, is that the one with 'Profession of Violence' that's a great track. Moogs singing on it is top notch."

"dm 5:28 Fri Jan 7 I would tend to agree - some of their stuff is fingernails down the blackboard; That track is an 18 minute instrumental and less challenging. Not a band I would have sought out though, unlike Mostly Autumn (thanks to The Stoat for that, if I recall), Pendragon or IQ, of whom I've yet to hear a duff track."

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire

Movin' on up -Edwin starr

Mike Oxsaw I'm sorry to say that I could never get into Dream Theatre I tried and tried as they did seem to be the band that I thought I'd like

Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany (from Black Clouds & Silver Linings)

Marillion - Seasons End

"azel senior great choice. There are some great tracks on The Wild, The Willing and the Innocent, particularly the title track"
