I notice that Steve Ignorant's new CD has a track called Stretford Blue

Saw him at Rat and Parrot@ Eastwood couple of weeks back...Brilliant.

Here's one from Dublin punk band Radiators From Space. Great band but never really got the recognition outside their home town, where they are revered.

I’m with you, I like loads of different music and still listen to the likes of Slade, (I know, Gam Rock), Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Nazareth and Hendrix, these were the artists of my teenager years and evoke some great memories, apart from it being a time when City were almost every season absolute dog shit!

All those artists feature in my album collection, most of them heavily (sic!).

I grew up on Glam rock and it has influenced my musical taste massively. T.Rex were my first musical love - Bolan was another who wanted to be Led Zep (Zinc Alloy...). Slade were more concerned with being the Beatles; bought a Jim Lea solo album a few months back.

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Love Rebellion , go most years . Only there Sunday this year for the mighty Teenage Bottlerocket

No mate, this was the club called Rebellion at Deansgate Locks.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

on a new wave slant, these were very underated

Played back up to The Jam at The Apollo IIRC (I saw a lot of concerts back then, so not 100%). One of them was Foxton’s brother or some shit like that. Wore their only “famous” album out, and not just the “Turning Japanese” track!

P.S. Brilliant thread! Thanks for all the YouTube videos! Going to be a great listening weekend!!
