I used to watch Fireball XL5, Stingray, Marine Boy, Captain Scarlet. There is a character who turned up from time to time at our jam nights and the XL5 song is part of his repertoire, but he has to show us the chords each time as nobody can remember it from one time to the next.

I have had one Doors CD for years. I think it is called LA Woman but have not listened to it much. I got another one more recently - might be called Morrison Hotel - I think I got it for Roadhouse Blues as I have tried to do this a few times at jam nights but it hasn't worked very well.

There is a band I saw a few times in the 1980's called the Cult. I lost track of what they were doing but a few years back a video popped up on Youtube of the singer - Ian Astbury - singing Doors songs with an original member of the band.

Looks like it could be more than one original member of the Doors - Doors of the 21st Century it appears to be called.

Phaedra is an excellent album! And welcome to SSC, amigo!

Some lads at school were fans of Tangerine Dream (despite punk / new wave being the 'in thing' at the time). I have probably heard some of their stuff but can't remember anything of theirs. There is a German band called Eloy who did a session for the Friday Rock Show in the 1980's which I probably still have on cassette somewhere.

I own only one DVD - Zachariah, the first electric western.

I was looking at a football forum last Friday and there was a thread titled 'Time Has Come Today' which had some quotes that looked like song lyrics. A band called The Chambers Brothers was mentioned. I didn't know anything about the band or song but apparently it was well known in the late 60's.

A Frank Zappa song which has the word 'Nirvana' in the lyric.

Another band that I listened to a lot in the 80's was the Icicle Works. This song is called 'Nirvana' and was released in 1984 on the Beggars Banquet label.

In 1985 The Cult also released a song called 'Nirvana' also on the Beggars Banquet label.

Nirvana? Auummmm!

In 1985 I bought a single by the Icicle Works which had a song called Mr Soul as a B-side. The song was credited as being a Neil Young composition. In a similar way to the Cult singer singing Doors songs with Doors musicians, there are videos on Youtube of the Icicle Works singer (Ian McNabb) doing songs with Crazy Horse.

Youtube allows me to discover that Mr Soul was a song by Buffalo Springfield from when Neil Young was a member of that band.

I have seen some comments that suggested a connection between Mr Soul and a well known Rolling Stones song.

Buffalo Springfield

Good band, Buffalo Springfield. Richie Furay went on to form Poco with among others Randy Meisner, who went on to form Eagles. I have a soft spot for Poco and early Eagles, and I also love Linda Ronstadt. She does Desperado better than anyone...

To my mind, the album Desperado is Eagles at their finest.

I remember the Eagles being huge in the mid to late seventies. About 12 years ago I started going to a jam session where the fella in charge would do this song called 'Peaceful' every week. I had no idea who the song was by but after a few months I decided to find out. I have since seen a documentary about the Eagles which had a lot of stuff about their early days and featured Linda Ronstadt quite a bit. Poco was also mentioned. I saw a version of the Eagles live for the only time on the History of the Eagles tour, which was a really great gig, despite not knowing a lot of the songs.

Peaceful Easy Feeling is from their first album, but Witchy Woman is the best track on it...

The devil doesn't have all the best tunes..

Classic version

A little bluegrass is needed, methinks...
