It's an interesting question and certainly my view that from 65-80 is the greatest years of rock music probably aligns with that. The changes in how music is written, recorded, the complexity, scope, scale, ambition pushed it forward dramatically. The explosion of genres in this period is...

This is is long, at times self-indulgent, full of horrid noises, and touches at times on prog. It's also a live album which I generally don't like - despite nominating Jerry Lee Lewis's Live At The Star Club myself. All that said, I love Deep Purple and despite this being a live album it feels...

My first nomination is a bit of a cheat one, but this song absolutely transfixed me at the time. As I said in 1981, I'd just got a telescope and Joan Of Arc by OMD just sounded so futuristic - to a young boy it was 'moon music' as me and my Dad would spend ages trying to get this cheap telescope...

Michael McDonald has a voice to die for doesn't he? And he can play as well - soul, funk, whatever. Seen him at the Apollo with his own band just before lockdown and a couple of months ago at the Coop with the rest of the Doobies. What a band they are and what a muscian he is. I Keep Forgettin...

What a brilliant write up that is mate, it does go without saying but these songs are generally the soundtrack to your teen years when you really get into music. As ever, music and love are normally very intertwined! I'll be honest, I was really hoping the last line was going to be something...

I think you're about right with that, I suspect this season could be one where someone wins the league as no one else wanted to win it! :) I think we're a team still hammered with injuries and we're also adapting our style of play to add in a more direct option - see the goal today. I think...

I really can't figure him out, he's got pace and tricks and I honestly thought if he stayed he'd be pulling up trees to play for Brazil in the World Cup but he looks like the kind of player who wouldn't stand out in Brentfords line up. He really needs to up his game, beat a man, get a cross or...

Like most people, I thought we were great first half but I also knew we needed that 2nd goal to kill it off a bit. Haaland is the best player on the planet at the moment and there was absolutely zero threat from what ball that Gvardiol(?) dinked over but Haaland turned it into a world class...

I still have Liverpool as favourites. As we well know, once you've won it once you know how to win it. If you've not done it before, the pressure is intense in the run in. Klopp was a far better manager than Arteta and he cracked once Pep turned the screws and I think Arteta will do the same if...

I will be honest, I normally like @BlueHammer85 's choices but when I saw this I was a bit 'meh' about it. The mid-90s threw up any number of amazing bands and at the time, I swerved Cast as I probably didn't think they were much cop at the time. They weren't the only ones, but when there's...

We shouldn't have been in the position where the penalty cost us the points. We should've been 3 or 4-1 up at that point. Other than Haaland though, who else is bagging the goals? I know Reijnders hit the post twice(?) but the whole team needs to be getting them. It was a penalty. You cannot...

I honestly think that game was the best game of football I've ever seen. The speed, skill, tactics and ability of every player and coach on the pitch was astronomical. Fair play to Klopp, no one else will ever push Pep to the heights we reached. That season, City and Liverpool were easily the 2...

It's always good to hear something a bit different mate, it's certainly not an album I'd have picked to listen to myself but have really quite enjoyed it! Had it on again this afternoon and it's really growing on me. If they were playing nearby, I think I'd so the same as @BlueHammer85 and nip...

Now autumn has arrived my musical tastes will start to shift away from upbeat, pop and tick to more reflective music. I've been working early and had this on today whilst tapping away and listening to the rain patter on the windows I must admit I didn't like the first 2 tracks. They were a bit...

Absolutely superb write up that @OB1 and it must've been incredible to have been around New Year back then!! I absolutely love 'Dare' by the Human League and could pretty much nominate any number of tracks from that album. For me personally, I adore music with melody - that's pretty much my...

If you're in Manchester, Moston Lane Appliances are superb for repairs - had them out a few times and they come out either same day, or next day and whilst there's a call out charge they either fix it or knock the charge off the repair bill. Can't rate them enough. Don't bother with the...

It was a thoroughly boring match. I can't believe in a cup tie their manager was happy to sit back and defend for 90 minutes without having a go. Even if he wanted to try for a 0-0, a valid tactic to some extent, as soon as we scored his plan was over. He should've had a go! What's the point in...

Can't believe Walker wouldn't get anything other than a great reception - he was absolutely key for us and was immense. Not many players can just mark Vinicius and Mbappe for fun across a few games as well!! At his peak with us he was the best right back in the world and for me is a legend...
