yep, things like that back in the day. It is good to have lived it and have a basis for comparison. I would have said 'better in every respect', but then I saw a video the other day of Melbourne sharpies, recorded at about the same time. Really a cultural vacuum. 1974 was a good year for music.
I saw Deni and Rockmelons perform this live in a club (can't remember the name) somewhere near King's Cross in 1992 and bought their Tales of the City album. Catchy songs, good times!
I think I said this before, after Simon Townsend Wonderworld, I bought this single $2.50 mail order. the add was in the local paper. PUNK was so local, it wasn't horrible, it was just local. AND THE xl capris WERE BRILL!! so there MF's
I don't think anybody has felt music in their soul more than Al Green. I'm glad for him and us that he had the vocal talent to express it. Few could sing it the way Mr. Green can. When I look back at the "rock and roll" era, I think Keith Richards, James Brown and Al Green are my favorite performers. All different, and all very different than anyone else from the era.
