Ha...I'm no Swiftie but I think this particular collaboration is pretty good.
As with @Moonglum this is my only experience of Taylor Swift but in this case I'm rather impressed.

By the way, I've added another track

I must admit to not being a devotee of either The National or Taylor Swift, but both those tracks were very good. I have heard some of Taylor Swift's soundtrack work, which is a million miles away from pop, and it's worth a listen.

Agreed Rob @Foxhound , she certainly has something!

I think she's a lot better than what we see on the TV with her hordes of pre-puberty fans.
Just wish I was Travis Kelce

Not a fan but she must have a huge stage setup when she performs:

I have a pal who is Road Crew and she will use upwards of 20 trucks, apparently.

Here's another of the less well known bands from the early 1970s.
I saw Brinsley Schwarz twice, first somewhere in a pub in Bristol and then at the second Glastonbury Festival in 71.
They were essentially a pub rock band who never really hit the headlines although they were a favourite of mine.
Nick Lowe, however, went on to better things.

Here they are from 1973 looking a whole lot cleaner cut than I remember them :

Sadly not for me at all Martin! I vaguely remember them from the Greasy Truckers Party LP but much preferred the performances by Man and Hawkwind.

Ah...a fine album and a band I saw a few times.
They were great value live and always put their heart into it :

Nuffink like a bit of "Spunk Rock" and at their best on these longer jamming performances - totally underrated! Listening to it now - cheers Martin.

Some old Floyd, such as 'Cirrus Minor' (Relics) and the 'Atom Heart Mother Suite'. I really don't know what the latter is based on and I guess individual theories abound. In his book 'Inside Out', Nick Mason berates himself for not playing at all well on that album

I like "ATM" and think it heralded the future sound of Pink Floyd which was firmly cemented by their next release "Meddle" - being the first album I ever heard of theirs - "Echoes" blew me away! I then bought some of their previous releases retrospectively, inc. Relics, More, Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma (the live sides being the preferred listen). There was a limit to how much I could buy with a £1.50 per week paper round!

Cheers,

Even my parents got to quite like 'Echoes' which is just as well as it was played so often on my little rubbish stereo of the time. My Mum even enjoyed 'One of these days'.
Floyd really are an ageless band

I first heard Echoes on the John Peel Show and was mesmerised.
As with @Moonglum it spurred me on to listen to other Pink Floyd albums which impressed me, I particularly liked Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma.

Their later stuff, though interesting, hugely popular and containing some real gems,  never truly appealed to me and I fail to understand what all of the fuss was about with Dark Side of the Moon (sorry @Trainfish ).
