what are you listening to at the moment?

You might as well do the long hair stuff now and save the boot boy look for later - when it all falls out on top anyway

Today I've been listening to Motorhead's 'Beerdrinkers and Hellraisers' EP.
On blue vinyl!

And it rocks...

I used to listen to, and enjoy a lot of Oi! music when I was much younger and also a boot boy (grandpa in the corner here), but just this last few weeks can't keep off Pink Floyd, namely The Wall and The Division Bell.

Elvinley · June 17, 2011, 03:34:54 AM

Can't beat The Wall.

For me lately it's been Roy Harper, Wovenhand and Type O Negative.

Hi Evinley,

Don't know any of those, will have a look / listen. The Wall does rule though, especially as the boss is out tonight and I'm going to watch it on VHS!!

Oh dear - had a Southern Comfort and Pomp Rock night last night so Yes, King Crimson, BJH, ELP, Strawbs etc. I must have had one too many S.Comforts as I found the air guitar in the garden this morning!

Elvinley · June 17, 2011, 10:07:10 AM

All good!

Hope you managed to get the Rolls Royce out of the swimming pool too

That's how it got there! The missus said she'd reversed the Rolls out of the garage, and I knew that I had reversed it into the garage.
Elvinley - thanks for the tips on Type 0 Negative and Woven Hand - I'll be checking Itunes.
If you like them - try Pure Reason Revolution and also Dream Theater (not my spelling). Some have termed them as up to date Prog Rock.

Have you heard of a band called Porcupine Tree.......?
Worth checking out....

What am I listening to at present?

...my colleagues droning on about the Apprentice!

poliss · June 17, 2011, 01:38:58 PM

Tell them they're fired.

Saw PRR live at Greenbelt fest some years ago - amazing. I have their CDs as well.

Newportnobby · June 19, 2011, 02:46:17 PM

This week, I ha mostly been listening to the Division Bell.

Thanks Elvinley. I downloaded some Wovenhand and some Type 0 Negative - good stuff.
Does anyone out there like Renaissance? Annie Haslam has a tremendous pair of lungs (ahem)

Yep, I like Renaissance and Annie's solo stuff. Particularly like "The Angels Cry" written by the Moody Blues' Justin Hayward.
