What a year 1973 was for music, but then so were all years in the 1970’s really. For a start it was a great year for glam rock, with great tunes from Suzi Quatro (Can the Can & 48 Crash), T. Rex (20th Century Boy), Sweet (Ballroom Blitz and Blockbuster), Slade (Cum on Feel the […]

1972 – Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone
February 5th, 2019 · Comments Off on 1972 – Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone · Music
I have been looking forward to reaching 1972 for two reasons: it is when there staarted to be so much good (to me) music that choosing one track starts to get harder, and one of those track is possibly the greatest song ever. A strong assertion thre, but listen properly to Papa Was A Rollin’ […]

1970 – 25 or 6 to 4
February 1st, 2019 · Comments Off on 1970 – 25 or 6 to 4 · Music
At last we reach the 70’s, the best decade for music. That is only my opinion of course, but it is also a fact! The decade of prog, glam, reggae, soul, disco, blues rock, punk, krautrock, the start of rap, and much more. Of course in 1970 I was still only 8 and not really […]

1964 – The Ballad of Hollis Brown
December 9th, 2018 · Comments Off on 1964 – The Ballad of Hollis Brown · Music
OK, so this might not be an obvious one. It isn’t one of Bob Dylan’s best-known songs and wasn’t even a single, but although I obviously wasn’t listening to this as a two-year-old I did listen to it a lot at quite a young age. When I was growing up there were very few records […]

1963 – She Loves You
December 9th, 2018 · Comments Off on 1963 – She Loves You · Music
At I was still too young to be engaged with music other than maybe nursery rhymes, and without having the good fortune of one of my all-time favourites being released, as in 1962, it isn’t easy to pick a song for 1963. Looking at the singles for this year there are precious few that I […]

1962 – Green Onions
December 7th, 2018 · Comments Off on 1962 – Green Onions · Music
A few months ago I created a Spotify playlist with one track for every year of my life. I already have plenty of playlists that mostly have similar types of music in them – so a punk playlist, a rap playlist, a krautrock playlist, and so on, but I am trying to set some up […]

A life in a playlist
August 28th, 2018 · Comments Off on A life in a playlist · Music
The other day I decided to knock up a playlist of my life. The idea was to have one song for every year that I have been alive. I arbitrarily decided to not have more than one track for an artist and I was a bit flexible about the dates. Sometimes there is a song […]

Parliament back in business!
May 28th, 2018 · Comments Off on Parliament back in business! · Music
I was a little surprised to see an album by Parliament listed in the new releases section of Spotify. I can’t claim to be any sort of expert on the band, and could never really keep track of all the various combinations of Parliament, Funkadelic, Parliament-Funkadelic, and P-Funk, but I do like a bit of […]

Mouldy Old Dough
April 17th, 2018 · Comments Off on Mouldy Old Dough · Music
Today’s suggestions for me on Spotify included an album by Lieutenant Pigeon called “Mouldy Old Dough and other hits“. I do hope the title is tongue-in-cheek or it is re-defining the definitions of “hits” and “other” as well as the concept of plurals. I was interested enough to look them up on Wikipedia and found […]
