That’s fine. Don’t want to stop other people contributing. My order of preference is 75, 81, 69, 73. Also, I probably won’t want any years after the 80’s.

1973?

Depending on how many want to start years off, I’d be keen to do 1981. Also, 1971. I’m happy to do any of the 70’s if filling in is required.

Boo

I can have a go at 1969.

1975 might in fact be the best in many ways. In fact, I'll pitch for that.

75 - 81 all good; plus 1987

1976

I've not read Mick Wall's book. I have read "Hammer of the Gods", which is entertaining but some of the "facts" are disputed.

Truth be told, I tended to view Maiden as a poor man's Judas Priest in the early days and only collected most of (but not all) their albums in more recent times. Saw them live a good few times when they started out. They supported quite a few bands. Most notable was in Long Beach in 1981 when...

I love that you take such care over every review. I just don't have the time or the writing skills. Anyway, you often save me a lot of time by having a very similar view of a fair number of albums. Single aside, I'd never heard this album before, although I do own the follow-up (probably due...

Yes; although he’s clearly not in Wolverhampton there. I remember that pic from way back.

They should have given the appropriate credits much sooner. I’d suspect Peter Grant might have been the person who was responsible to the original decisions but I don’t know.

Think someone posted a picture of him in Wolves kit on the post match thread.

Robert Plant is a Wolves supporter.

Oh, FFS. You do know Wolves had a different game plan and formation today. How they played previously is not relevant. Creating clear cut chances when teams pack their defence, are organised, aggressive and hard working is really tough. City consistently face this approach far more than any...

Hugely dominant game from City. And, a hugely important win. The downside was the usual, conceding a goal on the break too easily - although it was very well constructed by Wolves - and not clinical enough with our shooting. City should have won by far more but when a team defends like...

Josko, just ahead of Stones.

Zep covered a few things but did transform them. And let’s not muddy the waters, that riff is Page taking a bit of inspiration, it’s the lyrics that Plant copied heavily.

Oooh now there’s a debate, US vs UK musically. The UK’s musical contribution is out of all proportion to the size of the country and while much of it is based on music that came out of America, taking popular music forward has Led to the UK producing may of the greatest, most enduringly popular...
