I just read on one of those music trades that the three most underrated bands of the 70's were Thin Lizzy, Sweet, and one of my all-time favorites, Mott The Hoople.

Ian Hunter had the hooks, the looks, he was as real a rock star as there ever was one.

David Bowie wrote this, Ian Hunter sung it, and Mott backed it up.
You know what's better than Bowie and Hunter?
McCartney and Lennon that's about it.

My favorite.
If you don't like this, you just might not like rock and/or roll.

Sweet was voted second most underrated band of the 70's.

How great is this song intro?

Chucky?

Once bitten twice shy.
Ian Hunter is the only Brit that doesn't lose the accent when singing.

I had no idea where to put this, but it's in keeping with his Twitter activity, only about 4 or 5 a year. Check some classic replies, like the one from Steve Martin: "now at goalie position, A Complete Unknown"

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I ran into one of the Buffalo Sabres in the elevator at the Prague hotel. They were in town to play the New Jersey Devils.

Offering to the thread: I'm not really a Bob Dylan guy, but I like a handful of his songs, Isis absolutely one of them.

My goodness gracious, I forgot how epic this tune is.

This is so long ago. A lifetime ago, really.

People sometimes bag on Peter Gabriel looking old now. Well, that was almost 50 years ago. He really looks un-recognizable to me in the early photos.

Genesis as a group was so different on the early albums. To their credit, they still sounded very good in the early 80s.

I was a fan of the early Peter Gabriel solo work. His voice sounded so unique. Great stuff, and then he went Pop.

Nashy, if you like the early Peter Gabriel solo work, check out this song. Not a popular song, not too many people know about it. Awesome song IMHO:

I'm 40s and I had no clue they said the f-gots word til 3 days ago

Warren G and Nate Dogg sampled this track in "Regulate"...

Michael McD has got a lot of soul no doubt

**slewfan** · 10-20-24, 01:28 PM

One of my all time favorites.

What most people don't realize is this song has been constantly kicking ass for the past five decades.
It's a constant, like oxygen.

Nashy, there's been a lot written about The Clash, and I'm still not sure I understand the whole thing.

1) They were a great band. It's sometimes said that "The Clash were the only band that ever mattered."

2) I know they were vocal on current events. In that way, they were a voice of the people.

3) Early Clash sounded fantastic. But I sensed that it was more attitude than sound.

4) I know that Mick Jones departed. Don't think they were the same after Mick left.

5) The later Clash albums weren't too well-received. But that's not atypical for the cycle of a band.

Joe Strummer died at an early age. That's life.

"London Calling" was the greatest album of the 70's.
I stand by that statement, there was nothing Joe Strummer couldn't do musically.
Nobody did 'combat rock' better than The Clash, they invented it.
