Sting, from Nothing like the Sun, also has an intoxicating version of that song. COMPLETELY different. The vocalist the key, not guitar player... I take Stevie Ray if I have to chose though. But still interesting. 1 Link to comment

Young Fathers and The Xcerts are never off my playlist. Im always impressed by the stuff you bring here Stonk! I rarely know it. On 1/7/2019 at 11:30 PM, alfstonker said: Outrageously cool! And its outrageously cool you have a good handle on what makes it good as well. I think you said it was a lot, not only I'm sure, of your older brothers influence. Were you guys from Van? From Scotland (a lot of your stuff is Scottish and Irish (by memory) Indie stuff. Link to comment
Canuck Surfer Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I had a flat mate / room mate, Simon, who brought this cd home 20 odd years ago. His friends looked strangely like the characters in this video. We had an apartment in Kits, top floor with a massive balcony and view of the bay. Such outrageous parties and fun. 1 Link to comment

During the blur oasis years I was more into Pulp. I happened to be in England 95,96 when these bands were raging and there were two camps. Blur or Oasis. You could literally walk into a public restroom and there would be scribbled back and forth insults directed at each band and their fans lol.....typical brits. 1 Link to comment

alfstonker Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Keep coming back to the legend that was Stuart Adamson. No one "worked" a lead guitar like Stuart RIP. Not a clue what the lead singer is saying but who cares it sounds good. Into the valleyBetrothed and divineRealisations no virtueBut who can define Why soldiers go marchingThose masses a lineThis disease is catchingFrom victory to stone Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and skyAhoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldierAhoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then puncturedAhoy! Ahoy! Long may they die Out of concealmentBlank and stark eyedWhy so uncertainThis culture deceives Prophesised, brainwashedTomorrow's demiseAll systems failingThe placards unroll Ahoy! Ahoy!… Real working class boys. They came from a mining area in Fife Scotland Charles got a job in a factoryDrilling sheet metal from six till threeWorked extra hours for a better wageGot lost in his task quite needlesslyI noticed his brain was a plastic boxHis work rate improved 'cause he couldn't stopHe couldn't eat lunch with those metal handsHis legs were supports for new inner glandsNext when I saw him his face was goneA stainless steel spine now instead of boneHis arms became grafted onto the switchSix months… Edited January 15, 2019 by alfstonker 1 Link to comment
alfstonker Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 All the rain came downOn a cold new townAs he carried you awayFrom your father's handThat always seemed like a fistReaching out to make you payHe came like a hero from the factory floorWith the sun and moon as giftsBut the only son you ever sawWere the two he left you withOh Lord where did the feeling goOh Lord I never felt so lowNow the skirts hang so heavy around your headThat you never knew you were youngBecause you played chance with a lifetime's romanceAnd the price was far too longOh Lord where did the feeling goOh Lord… 2 Link to comment
Canuck Surfer Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Is there such a thing as an ''under the radar'' Kinks tune? British invasion, though pretty sure Superman is 70's, 60's Glam rock, Blues Rock is my favorite era. Here are a couple more fave's. Always turn my crank! Bananarama? Are you kidding me... This was the original, Shocking Blue, not Cher, from the Netherlands and its worth a listen. Let me know what you think! RIP Marc Bolan, God! I saw another idol of mine, Robert Palmer & Power Station do a killer cover of this song live at the Dome in Minneapolis in the 80's. Iconic Small Faces song. I grew up thinking Kenny Shields wrote this? >>> I got the love! And I belong to you! Do anything that you want me to... Speaking of God? Take your pick, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page; all played in this band! 1 1 Link to comment
