Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

[revbob]

1. Calvary Cross (1973, w/Linda Thompson)
2. From Galway to Graceland (1990)
3. 1952 Vincent Black Lightening (1991)
4. For Shame of Doing Wrong (1975, w/Linda Thompson)
5. How Will I Ever Be Simple Again (1986)

I love what I've heard but I'm not good enough with him to do a top 5. I've listened to I Want to See the Bright Lights a gorillion times.

I think you'd really dig him. Probably the UK's finest and most prolific songwriter and widely thought to be the greatest living guitar player. 50 years of music and still recording and touring constantly. I'll post vids of my top 5 for you...

Most guitar players have great respect for him.

[Dr. Medulla]

What a shitshow.

Ah, takes me back to when Heston ran things.

Oh it was hell for me when he ran thru 80s synthpop and 90s mop top baggy pants brit bands.

Yeah, he does things on both electric and acoustic that you're apparently not supposed to be able to do with just ten fingers. And nobody sounds remotely like him - no blues based stuff or cliche single note leads.

But this would be deliberate and a collective effort. It's the intentional malice that's important.

Them's easy pickins.

[Heston]

Another clusterfuck without me or Marky to rein shit in.

Yes, I did a lot of synthpop bands but everyone likes a bit of Duran Duran or Depeche Mode except RevBob.

Duran Duran was like a boy band over here back in the 80s.

Why's it a clusterfuck? Dudes didn't/couldn't do it, so I stepped in, same as last week (remember, you and Marky post your themes on a US Thursday; we were waiting on a US Friday when Rev posted the reminder). Look at the timeline, mate: Wolt said he couldn't, I said I could and within minutes had my introductory pic up, a few minutes later had my list. What's the prob, Bob?

The difference between DD and boybands was they could actually play their instruments. I bet Kory could vouch for John Taylor's bass playing. I know Andy Taylor was an excellent guitar player. The first LP is like Roxy Music meets Japan meets Chic, they just happened to be too pretty to be taken seriously. Yeah, they went really poppy with Rio but I still maintain they were a good band until the cocaine took hold in 1983.

I'm just joking about the confusion about who's turn it was and the misunderstandings etc. Not a sleight on your choice mate. I'm not a fan of Richard Thompson myself but we can't please all the people etc.

Of course you're not slighting Thompson - hard to believe we haven't done him/Fairport Convention before. (also hard to believe you/others don't dig/know him: melody, lyrics, highest level musicianship; and he's British ...but whatever). If you don't like peeps stepping up (or just me ), just say so. Otherwise imma do it again!

Go for it mate. There is a rough order but it's all just a loose thing.

[Wolter]

Ok. I actually have a good idea for next week now that I’m done with my crazy day.

[Heston]

If I ever get a turn again I'm doing Chas and Dave.
