what are you listening to at the moment?

[port perran]

Often mentioned and frequently on my turntable (musical one, that is)

Of all the pub rock/almost made it little rock bands, Man really stood out for me.

Just stumbled on to Wishbone Ash Argus album which I used to hold in high esteem.

It's still good. Two lead guitars, for heavens sake!

That is a superb album.
I think it's the Turner bothers on guitars if I remember correctly.

[Newportnobby]

Correct, Martin.
Mind you, whoever told them they could sing wants a slap.
Never stopped Mark Knopfler, though

[Moonglum]

Not wishing to sound pedantic but the twin lead/rhythm guitarists were Andy Powell and Ted Turner, Martin Turner was on bass/lead vocals and Steve Upton on drums. The Turners were not related. They originated from sunny Torquay! Messrs Powell and M Turner now tour with their own versions of Wishbone Ash. Here is one of my favourite but later tracks from "New England"...

For some reason I always associate 'Argus' with Tolkein's 'Lord of the Rings', maybe because I was reading it in the early 70s when 'Argus' was released and I bought it (still have it on vinyl)

[Moonglum]

I know what you mean Mick @Newportnobby , do you remember this?

I had the album on vinyl at the time and (still) being a big LOTR fan rather liked it but not enough for a CD purchase. Doesn't sound bad now...

Cheers,

Tim

I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about Lord of the Rings but I know it inspired a fair bit of music back in the 70s.
Argent's Lothlorien was a favourite of mine .

I did like Bo Hansson though and had the Magician's Hat on vinyly.
Here's a sample :

[Newportnobby]

Sorry, Chaps. I've never heard of Bo Hanssen and he did nothing for me.
Actually not true. He sent me to sleep!!
Apologies

[Bealman]

Likewise... sorry!

I've been working in the train room this morning and listening to my Spotify Discover Weekly compilation.

Now....I've never been a fan of Stairway to Heaven as performed by Led Zeppelin but I'm rather taken by this version which popped up on Discover Weekly :

I know a lot of people don't really like cover versions of songs but this one definitely works for me.
 
Plus you get to see, briefly, some railway pictures.

[Newportnobby]

Different. I think I like it but the jury's still out

Here's another version I like, played in front of some old rockers I think I recognise

[Moonglum]

Both good in their own way!

Cheers,

With his son on the drums.
