  1. Agreed.... the band (what should be their twilight) produce a real classic!
  2. Belated Birthday Greetings JR!
  3. Some great stuff coming up. I think the new Priest album will be a cracker!!
  4. From my current abode of Ballyclare Co. Antrim to my birthplace of Bangor Co. Down it's 34 miles. I've been here now for 20 years and still feel like a 'blow-in' lol.
  5. It's been a busy bunch of weeks for us .... major renovations to our house and off on our jolly travels for two weeks. I've only really been dipping in and out of the forum. With all that has been happening I haven't been listening to as much music as usual. I need to catch up!!
  6. Many Happy (belated) Returns!
  7. Alex features on six tracks. It is a decent album but probably will benefit from further listenings.
  8. I listened to it last night..... was ok but I think I need to listen again.
  9. Pete is always interesting to listen to ...... some decent choices here. But most of all .......... I really want that Blue Oyster Cult shirt!!!!!!
  10. For me, William Hartnell through to Tom Baker was the classic era of the show. I still watched Peter Davison through to Sylvester McCoy but it was just Ok by then - some good episodes some bad. It was probably for the best that the show took a hiatus. The one off Paul McGann show in 1996 was interesting but lacking that lowish budget BBC feel which was part of the show's charm. As for the show's reboot in 2005 - I quite liked Christopher Eccleston. I really liked Tennant, Smith and Capaldi. I'm afraid I struggled with Jody Whittaker. Nothing to do with being a female doctor, more the fact that by now the BBC were so 'woke' that coherent scripts didn't really matter so long as every minority possible was represented and that nobody could possibly be offended. Every episode was a preaching session in the name of political correctness. The return of Tennant has helped steer the ship back on course so it will be interesting to see how newbie Ncuti Gatwa does.
  11. Two 'oldies but goldies'!
  12. A frontrunner for things to come. RIP Wayne.
  13. Being of a certain age and living in the UK, I go all the way back to William Hartnell. DW was staple viewing on a Saturday evening. (In fairness, we had very few alternative channels in those days.) For some reason the Cybermen gave me nightmares as a kid. When Jon Pertwee came along (plus the onset of raging hormones) I had a big thing for companion Jo Grant (Katy Manning.) Something about the early '70s mini skirts and long boots!!
  14. Like grep I'm still undecided about the new Who although the change has certainly revitalised the show. With regard to favourite eras I'm afraid I'm a bit of an old dinosaur and go with Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker as my two faves. In recent times I really liked David Tennant in the role.
  15. As a fresh young innocent of 13, way back in 1971, I bought 'Brand New Key' simply because I liked the voice of this 'hippie-chick' by the name of Melanie. The single was a massive hit in the UK and could be heard everywhere. RIP Melanie ..... forever my 'hippie-chick'.
  16. The SW Passion Play remix from 2014 contains all of the Chateau tracks on this release. The only extra tracks on this vinyl release (on the fourth side), are some mixes which were released elsewhere. But I guess if vinyl is your bag, it's worth getting.
  17. Like a lot of things in life, some things good, and some things bad!
  18. It's no secret here that HYF is one of my least favourite Rush albums (with probably only Presto below it), but this is a complete reconstruction of the song and I applaud the artist for that. And, yes, she has done a really good version of the song.
