Me and my missus watch it every week hoping to be inspired by some new acts, but last night was, well, I'd rather not say, no further comment!!!

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1494632274' post='3297545'] 10 cc were superb. Reminded me how good they were back in the 70s and a major touring band. It's quite bizarre how some music like this nearly disappears off the radar in terms of radio airplay - this happened to ELO also until the revival in recent years. For those of us reminiscing with rose tinted spectacles about the OGWT, I recall that rather like Later, it had its ups and downs and sometimes it was a pile of poo whereas others it was great - once again, as with any music programme of that type, it depends on your taste as to how much you like or dislike. The Tube is another - some phenomenal stuff on there - along with some not so good. [/quote]I think you summed it up perfectly, horses for courses and all that. Have to agree that 10cc were superb, obviously with the help of the backing tracks, and yes, it was dated, but quality musicianship none the less.

It's terribly modern to be offended by every little thing but there is something to be said for having a certain degree of robustness, to the point where one doesn't need to feel the need to try and censor what others say so that they can feel better. 'Guitard' may seem mildly offensive to some since it's obviously a derivation of 'retard', but I wouldn't break too much of a sweat about it, we're all grown men here. [/quote]Tut Tut!!! "[i]we're all grown men here[/i]"? that surely is offensive to our female BC'ers isn't it? Only Joking!!!

Me? 1951, the same year as the birth of the Precision! If only I had about £50,000 to spare.
