John Peel for ever!

[Beef Oven]

John Peel forever!

John Peel for ever!

I think this would easily make it into my favourite 100 singles ever. A simple tune, but still does it every time.
Seven minutes to midnight was almost as good.

Well, you can tear a plane, in the falling rain - I drive a Rolls-Royce, coz it's good for my voice - Elton John

...or Bernie Taupin

I am looking forward to a few more quotes from "Elton"..........he certainly did specialise in daft lyrics. what a great run of singles though.......

oh dear, I just have to share this.
I fell in love with pop music, aged 10, in 1972. Bowie, Roxy music, Slade, and Bolan were around....what great music to enjoy at that age.
Highlight of course was Top of the Pops on Thursday night. How sad we were if Noddy and the boys got passed over that week.
Anyhow, it was really Bolan that I couldn't get my head round. I had never seen anybody like that...we just didn't have people like him in Southampton....he seemed(like bowie !) to have come from another planet. Just couldn't believe he was real !!

We loved his records, "Ride a white swan" and the like but the greatest moments of all....."Metal Guru"!! That intro..that hair....that tune....and what the hell was he on about ?

Happy, happy days !!

Happy days indeed!

I think I'm about a couple of years older than you and I got into pop in the late 60s on account of my older brother and sister playing music and having the radio on all the time. My first memories were Motown, Beatles, Stones, Beefheart and the 'Tighten Up' reggae volumes. Then from 1970, it was pretty much as you described. It was a short hop from T-Rex and Slade to Deep Purple, Led Zep and Black Sabbath - the rest is history!!!!
