Mandy Lion's WWIII? I have the first album and it's great! Love the second one too but have never got around to buying it. First discovered him on a Metal Hammer cover cassette in 1991 that had Love You To Death on it. I've never spoken to anyone who has even heard of him before.

NO-ONE should ever be ashamed of loving The Carpenters. Karen had the most wonderful voice, it was so rich, so open, so heart-destroyingly f***ing gorgeous.

I concur, best female vocalist of all time.

I really like evanescence. Most people like bashing them and I have no idea why. Not ashamed to say I like them , but almost always greeted with they are sh*t etc when you say it.
Amy lee. Fit. And amazing voice.

lol -- Actually, if something hits you, it hits you. But we all have guilty pleasure.

I'll go.

Grand Funk Railroad[/quote]

The first time I heard their version of "Gimme Shelter" I was blown away! It kicks seven shades of proverbial out of the original.

I've made no secret of it, but received a lot of stick at the time, that I was a massive fan of Slade for many years; went to 36 of the original line-ups gigs from 73-83. Also been to around a dozen of Dave & Don's lesser version but these days it's more about meeting up with old mates & having a jar or ten than the music.

When I was feeling sorry fo rmyself during my divorce I caught the Guitar Legends gig in Seville ('91??) on TV & it saved me musically. Such variety over so many days that I received an overload of musical education.

......... I was also a big fan of ............ my son's band of the 90's (they were once John Peel's band of the week & drew crowds of 400 when playing Glasgow or Edinburgh, sometimes Aberdeen) .
One of their songs is still in my top 10 of favourite songs ever. I tried to keep it in check so as not to be the embarrassing Dad thing; so I just stayed being roadie, manager, promoter, agent & minder.
Now what he does is more of an "acquired taste" - I believe you young 'uns call it "industrial".

'Tits on the Radio' Scissor Sisters
'Fall in Love' Tom Jones (the sound of the bass on that intro!!!)
'Yummy Yummy Yummy' Pinky and Perky

Embarrassing enough! But hey, I like 'em!

Listening to 6Music this evening has reminded me that I rather like Suede.
