Spun up some Jimmy Eat World while on the Google Musics and after going back through the two singles that were hits here in the
90searly noughties (Sweetness and The Middle) this came on. It is long, and starts out a bit weird, but by fuck that section from around 5 minutes rocks like a mofo.TIGHT harmonies and music throughout their discography, I might add. Got that balance of west coast influence pop-rock from the 90s, but they're from Arizona so bring somewhat of a different flavour.

The Middle is an absolutely top draw pop rock track.
Cracker of a video too

One of the great hard rock/metal/prog epics from the 70s. Steve Wilson has done a very nice job on this remix, it’s subtle, but cleaner and punchier with more spacial separation between the instruments, and the lengthy trippy outro is awesome, the original was always a bit too dense & muddy, what he’s done here is magnificent.

Good old Hawkwind. Probably remembered more for the nude dancer with massive cans than any music they ever did.

I'm not familiar with that particular Hawkwind song, but I see it does include one Ian Kilmister on bass.
Steven Wilson has done a lot of stereo and 5.1 mixes of iconic 60s, 70s and 80s albums and they usually always get plenty of praise. I have Aqualung myself.

Most people — even rock fans from the 1970s — have never even heard of them, let alone actually heard their music, which is a shame. Very similar to Can in that respect — awesome 70s records than next-to-nobody heard.
Hawkwind is not easily pigeon-holed — they’re not exactly metal or prog, but not dissimilar either... they are definitely hard rock/acid rock/space rock/stoner rock. Radio simply wouldn’t play their records, probably because of the subject matter — mostly drugs, hallucinations, time-travel, etc. At their peak during the early-to-mid 70s Lemmy-era some of their best material was as good as anything LZ and PF were releasing.

Stacia! I saw her back in the day at a CAMRA folk festival. She inevitably got the girls out. Quite a sight, I’ll tell you.
Edit: Stacia ended up marrying Roy Dyke from Ashton Gardner and Dyke, who, for the younger readers weren’t in fact a provincial law firm, but the band behind “Resurrection Shuffle”

Jimi Hendrix - Like a Rolling Stone - Jimi Plays Monterrey version.
So cool!

A 5-minute disco song with a 4-minute guitar solo - and it is glorious. Nile Rogers guitar here is sublime.

Anyone who harks back to the days of 'classic' rock of the 70s ( of which there was obviously heaps ) need only listen to this song to realise shit music was as prevalent then as it is today.
Still, I bet he made money off it and obviously got damn near suffocated every time he snoozed off in front of the mrs's chest.

I don’t know if he made that much, they were a true one hit wonder. This was indeed a load of crap, and there was no shortage of it in the 70s, no argument from me there.

Virtual Chocolate fish for the first to identify the link between Hawkwind and the Blockheads.
Too easy. Sex and Drugs and Rock & Roll.
