UFO → purple hair/silver mini skirts → Gabrielle Drake → her brother...

Now, something magical. The anatomy of a song

Followed by the finished article

Who could deny that the Doors are one of the finest bands ever to grace this planet. People will listen to this a 1000 years from now and beyond. They will always be immortal....immaculate.

Now look what you've gone and done, Geraldine! I just treated my neighbours to Celebration of the Lizard, on a Sunday morning at what can only be described as excess volume. To follow that, I gave them a thorough dose of another hugely-talented singer who also died too young...

Ahhh. if only we were in another time, another place but, it's just the way it is...

Another time, another place, eh? Brings the old Rolling Stones poster to mind, does that!

As for Chicken Shack, the mere thought of Christine Perfect singing the Etta James classic I'd Rather Go Blind brings a tear to my eye! Of course, she was soon to be become Mrs Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. However, this next track is Fleetwood Mac when they were still a blues/rock band, before they transitioned into a cocaine-fuelled stadium band...

No Jones, No Stones!

Northeasterly gale force 8 imminent increasing severe gale force 9 soon.

I hear the song of the wind!

Here, a wee treat for ya!

And.......their great rivals...

I would have loved to see these two on stage together battling it out, maybe in the next life? As Jimmy H said himself, don't be late!

Why, thank you kindly!
I'll follow that with the Electric Gunslinger struttin' his stuff...

And currently playing Chez Cody - Spindrifter (after which my Cobra is named).

Awesome! The Rockpalast always had the best folk! And yes I remember your ship being named that.
Anyways from the Electric Gunslinger to the Donegal Destroyer!

Talking of the Rockpalast, this power trio are from my hometown...

Something different

I remember, back in the day, when I first saw this. I wondered, who the hell is that!

This lady once had a beautiful voice - now she can't even talk.

Excalibur? Throw down the sword...

Always loved the cover art on Argus. Even without the flying saucer, it's a great image!
Gernot would like that one. He's out there somewhere, lost in the Big Black!

King Crimson, awesome! Now, how about something new from the Stones Cody?

Is that a masked emoji, Geraldine?
From a band who've churned out heaven knows how many singles, to a band who only made one...

I came across it when I bought the Island sampler Nice Enough To Eat in '69 - awesome band/track list!
Of course, Heavy Jelly were really Skip Bifferty in disguise. Sadly, they split after that single.

@cody
Yes Cody, you can find all sorts of Emojis above the text box.
It's a friend's birthday soon and I asked her what she would like. She replied that many years ago she had Dylan's Basement Tapes album but it got ruined years ago. A great choice I must say, so, today, I tracked down a brand new one that is winging it's way to her as I write this. So....
