I think everybody should be watching my YouTube channel whilst we wait for MES's glorious reveal.

That is a good story to tell people - that you saw Bill Haley. I must admit, I was surprised when I found out during my research that it was “His Comets”, but you’ll notice that it is there in big black letters on the photo caption :)

Yeah but most of those aren’t as good as roots rock, which is quintessentially American.

Not far off.

This does sound like a good channel. @Mad Eyed Screamer was picking my brains for a while and his idea is a niche one, but I'm looking forward to it. Best of luck with the channel.

That's a very astute observation. I'm still listening and formulating my review, but some of this album is hard work. And I'm a Dylan fan (well, some of his work, anyway).

I hope that he doesn't push himself too hard, but it would be nice if he was back before the end of the season:- https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/nov/28/rodri-aiming-to-defy-odds-and-make-his-manchester-city-comeback-this-season

I thought you'd go for this sooner or later. It was the leopard-skin hat that gave it away.

Except it isn't, as we are finding out :)

Not. sure. if. serious. Good that this thread has put you right, mind. I'm sure we'll see as the thread progresses that certain British groups became very good at adapting American roots music.

True, but you don't hear any of that on the records; that was my point.

Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan The scarf from the cover, the Leopard skin pillbox hat.

It's already there and has been since the first write-up, along with a link to the playlist - see index at the end of post #1.

Ocean Rain by Echo and The Bunnymen pulled in 15 reviews at a very respectable average of 7.07. Thanks to @bennyboy for the nomination. Next up, fresh from keeping us entertained for 5 months in the Bluemoon Cup, is @BlueHammer85.

This is very good. Not sure whether I've heard this version although there are so many versions, it's head to remember. Good that this is the original and was actually written by Frankie Lymon and co. As we make our way through these playlists, I'm occasionally taking a quick look at Wikipedia...

That's a great shout. One of my hopes for this thread was to spot the first use of certain instruments or techniques or approaches and the emergence of new genres. This is a great example.

Sorry to be a pain but can I request that people put the track name and artist at the end of the request because it's sometimes hard to parse the text for what is being asked for. e.g. Waterloo - ABBA

Fairy Tale – Stephen King - 5/10 Wolf Pack – Will Dean - 7/10 A Small Death in Lisbon – Robert Wilson - 6/10 A Man Called Ove – Fredrick Backman – 8/10 Tomorrow's Children – Daniel Polansky – 3/10 The Mobster’s Lament – Ray Celestin – 8/10 Priest of Crowns – Peter McLean – 9/10 Get It On: How...

I agree about the Everly Brothers but a quick look down the writing credits for the few Buddy Holley albums reveals that he really didn’t write or co-write that much. Maybe more than his contemporaries but still a small proportion of the songs on his albums.
