Old Man Riva Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Over 40yrs old and still sounds as good as ever… Two-bass-tastic plus Adrian Belew!! 3 Quote
Richard R Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 A complete topic derail on the "Is Smoke on the Water Heavy Metal?", topic lead to a discussion on Birmingham girls' schools, which allowed us to get vaguely back on topic via the NWHM band Girlschool. Who are still going and released this in 2015. Not the best track on the album, but the one to make you smile! 2 Quote
Doctor J Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Soundgarden - Echo Of Miles. They hard some truly great non-album tracks over the years 3 Quote

Leonard Smalls Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 From the Axis album... Hellborg in groove with out too much widdling shock! Quote
Barking Spiders Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 One of the more overlooked acts from the trip hop era is Blue States, whose great sounds are along the lines of Groove Armada's Vertigo, sort of Ennio Morricone with beats. Quote

pst62 Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Just dug out my Athlete cds. Such a great, yet overlooked band! Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Just had an afternoon of wall to wall Far-I at work, finishing with this... Proper chilled garden centre music! 1 Quote
Peloquin Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 I'm listening to loads of these just lately... https://youtu.be/e0OfpKF0IHM Quote

Reggaebass Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Great track here from sly and Robbie with Horace Andy, from the album , the final battle , straightforward Bassline and fun to play 1 Quote
Nail Soup Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I'm not a massive fan of The Who (especially the 'Rock' years 😕), but really enjoying this instrumental from the High Numbers (i.e. before they were called the Who). Came up on facebook. Disclaimer: A couple of folk on youtube are disputing who it is . But great track whoever IMO. 2 Quote
Doctor J Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I've been on a serious Soundgarden buzz recently and am enjoying Ultramega OK at the moment. The remixed version which cane out a few years ago is a major improvement on the original. What was once thin and weedy now has some cajones. 1 Quote

Came up on facebook. Disclaimer: A couple of folk on youtube are disputing who it is . But great track whoever IMO. Not heard that before. Really like it. I can see why some folk might think it’s not The Who - the guitar does sound a bit more Jimmy Page than Pete Townsend in parts - but the drums have to be Keith Moon, don’t they?! Edit to say, I’ve listened to it a couple of times now and there’s definitely a Townsend ‘Sparks/Underture’ feel to the guitar so no real reason to think it isn’t early Who? As you say, whoever it is it’s good… Edited July 25, 2021 by Old Man Riva Townsend’s distinctive guitar style/chords! Quote

It didn't have any big hits. Its on my regular play list but Superunknown is still my favourite album. Soundgarden had everything, they were all great musicians, they had the great songs and Chris Cornell was one of the greatest ever rock vocalists. Quote
Bobthedog Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 This (I may have posted this before) and Me and Mrs Jones (Billy Paul) on repeat at the moment. I love this style of bass. Quote
