Ranking Roger - The Beat

Very sad news and very scary; he’s five months younger than me.

I loved The Beat. Their music was brilliant. Mirror In The Bathroom remains one of my favourite songs, but there was so much more to their back catalogue. Hands Off, She’s Mine, Stand Down Margaret, Too Nice To Talk To, etc.

R. I. P. Roger. You will be sadly missed.
 
Such a shame, always great to see live. This was always my favourite, think it was a double a side with Stand Down Margaret..

 
“Save It for Later” is one of the catchiest songs of all time, and the video totally epitomizes what music in the 80’s was all about for those who weren’t there.

Pete Townshend did a truly delicious version of the track, and talked in the intro about the way the guitar was strung for that song and how unusual it was - Dave Wakeling (to his considerable surprise) being rung up out of the blue to explain it.

It's a marvellous, marvellous song.
