This "soft prog" mix is pretty nice. Gentle Giant and the Soft Machine kick it off:<br />

Check that BBC "Prog Rock" doc on the previous page if you haven't done so. They sadly (mostly) pass over GG, but they do highlight Soft Machine. I am a big fan of their first three albums. Many, many years ago there were rumours that Jimi Hendrix recorded with them, but if it was ever released, I never heard it, but always fantasized about how good that could have been. I've seen tour posters to universities in the U.K with Hendrix, Floyd, Who and Soft Machine on the same bill, I suspect each act probably only had a 20-minute set each, but I would have loved to have seen one of those shows. (The doc also profiles a band called Egg, of whom I am completely ignorant.) -

I just watched Head for the first time in many years. It really is one of the trippiest, most surreal movies I've ever seen. (Legend has it that Jack Nicholson wrote the script in a single night on LSD.) Great songs! -
at this time every year, seeing as i never spend christmas with my family, i start listening to a lot of Bowie, as it's what i would be listening to at home. My oldies love this bloke, and so do i. What a legend.<br />

My favourite Bowie track, this video is obviously a Top of the Pops type thing. His characters are all awesome<br />

Has anyone listened to the new Soundgarden record yet? As a white bloke in my mid-30s, i am obviously a massive Soundgarden fan, so do i bother? or is it tarnishing their great memory?<br />

I've listened to it quite a bit. I like it. They've kept their old sound mostly so it still works.<br />

Ahhh... so good.<br />
<br />
But I heard the album version of this the other day and it just sounded wrong. I can't listen to Bowie no more unless it's a version from Bowie at the Beeb.<br />

Just been listening to the 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man soundtrack.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
It took me years of tracking down that movie, but i finally got it earlier this year. The soundtrack is much better. I don't have the Expanded Edition of the album... yet. -

My dad has listened to "Diamond Dogs" and "Ziggy Stardust" so many times he actually wore the records out. -

The early 90s was a great time for Hip Hop<br />

How good is that shit ?!?!? I love it when folk rap about drive bys, ho's, blings, crips and bloods and what have you but De la Soul were refreshingly free of that and a nice change.....anyway, my turn now....( be warned, I could play this game for weeks in between the odd cricket comment ) <br />
