No, they swing.

 

Oh, tee hee 

 

Exactly. As Danny Thompson said; "You can be as clever as you like but if it doesn't swing, forget it.

 

They had it, quite often.

My mum bought this LP when I was a youngster. Thanks for bringing back the childhood ear trauma.

... and I’ve really enjoyed Eric Clapton Unplugged. 

 

I didn't even know he was on life support.

Hope strings eternal - he sounds like a twunt from what I’ve read

I think most stuff other folks called influential passed me by, whether at the time or in retrospect...

When folks were into the Smiths I was spending my time listening to dub, gogo and free jazz.

When I was a kid and all my little mates liked the  Sweet (boys) or Bay City Rollers (girls) I discovered James Brown and Parliament.

When Oasis came along I was obsessed with Baroque music, and hair metal pushed me towards Kraftwerk, Front 242 and Einstürzende Neubauten!

And most 70s rock makes me want to listen to Magma...

Most 'influential' albums had no influence on me whatsoever. Never heard most of them.
