| Sparks |
| Kimono my house |
| "This town ain't
big enough for the both of us..." |
| 1974 |
|
The 1st LP I ever bought. Vinyl of
course. The brothers Mael do something very strange, but
it is classic pop. I've always liked stuff a bit off the
mainstream. Listen to that guitar. |

| Budgie |
| Bandolier |
| "mmm..." |
| 1975 |
|
I think I 1st heard this in the
old dining hall at school. It sounded like nothing I'd
ever heard before. Driving guitar riff music. Strangely,
my favourite track Napoleon Bona - part 1 and 2 doesn't
appear on "best of" compilations. I still play
this regularly. |

| Yes |
| The Yes album |
| "you'll see
perpetual change..." |
| 1971 |
|
Another 1 that came from school.
Yes before Rick Wakeman. Don't know what they're talking
about half the time, but they use melody like no one
else. Sometimes you think "do those melodies really
fit together ?". Steve Howe is a messy guitarist,
but the whole thing hangs together quite well. |
 |
| Hawkwind |
| Hall of the
mountain grill |
| "You can
disappear in smoke..." |
| 1974 |
|
The early days of Hawkwind, before
they sacked Lemmy. No one sounds like them, certainly not
in 1974. Casual disregard for structure, but at the
bottom, cool guitar bass and drums.. |
