My favourite video on YouTube is Bruce Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad". Tom Morello from 'Rage against the Machine' joins him on stage and gives the most amazing guitar riff! Please give this a watch! It'll blow you away! (Tom Morello at 6:50)

Roger Waters (ex - Pink Floyd). His fabulous studio version of "Mother".

Spot the mistake.
Presenter Jay leno I think in his intro probably insults them by describing as coming from Australia!

Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft.

I caught some bits of theirs in a BBC doc. Which album's a good place to start? Up for a listen.

I would say start with the brilliant Virgin trio of 81/82:

Alles Ist Gut
Gold Und Liebe
Fur Immer

Then maybe explore the Mute stuff like Die Kleinen Und Die Bosen.

They did an album in the mid 80s but I didn't buy it at the time.

Nice one. I'll let you know how it goes. You should give Botch a spin. Idea of someone from here liking them makes me laugh!

Was just having a convo with the family and for some reason was suggesting that Bruno Mars and Gaga's current hit was similar or written by the same person as this, nothing like really but worth a listen again anyway!

I've listened to this loads since you mentioned it. Nice one! Led me to blasting Suicide loads as well.

Pleased to hear! It's a great album. All those Virgin albums are good.

I love Suicide too. Was playing this earlier as it happens.

Another of my favourite bands. Gangway from Denmark. Great tunes and witty lyrics.

 

[torchomatic]

McCarthy were (and still are) a huge favourite. Loved them as they were political but with great tunes.

We Are All Bourgeois Now

Mine house is lovely and silent all round since I had the guttering replaced and a downpipe installed and the new cavity tray on the porch that meets that gutter is such a blessing!

Just burning in some new speakers

Yes Wingy, a true legend of music is Mr. Jones.
Never a day goes by that I don't feel fortunate to have spent my formative years listening to Motown, Stax and a little later Philly International.
Used to frequent Wigan Casino in its early days too, and what a scene that was.

revisiting the axeman!

Listening to Buddy Holly and thinking of how much Feburary 3 1959 took from the music world.

I'm a huge BN fan. BBD were a bit before my time, but caught up with their output in the 80s. I have to admit I'm more of a BN solo aficionado.

 

[torchomatic]

Two great BN solo tracks from the early 80s:
