Thin Lizzy - Fighting (1975)
This is where it all started with me and the Lizzy boys. The best dual guitar attack since Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter ambushed Lou’s “Rock’n’Roll Animal”.

Trupa Trupa - Jolly New Songs (2017)
OK I cheated with this one. I’m streaming this into my headphones via hi-res Tidal on my iPhone as I make my signature dish, chicken biryani rice for this evening’s meal.

Ultravox! - Ultravox! (1977)
Considering the date this was released, it was remarkably ahead of it’s time. It must have sounded absolutely bonkers when I first heard it.

Paul McCartney And Wings - Band On The Run (1973)
I initially tried to listen to an electronic record (Meat Beat Manifesto) this evening but I just wasn’t in the mood at all.

Return To Forever - Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy (1973)
Al Di Meola was about 12 years old when he joined Return To Forever in 1973 for the classic rock fusion lineup of Chick Corea, Lenny White, Stanley Clarke and himself.

Led Zeppelin - IV (1971)
A bit of magic on this Friday the 13th. Appropriately kicking off with “Black Dog” the diversity and musicianship on this record doesn’t relent until the final note is squeezed out.

Pepe Deluxe - Beatitude (2003)
This Monday night debrief requires serious frivolity. This under-the-radar masterpiece is filled with an impossible array of the most luxurious sounds courtesy of two very clever Finnish wax spinners.

Magazine - Where The Power Is (2000)
Following the final lancing of punk’s great big oozing boil, there emerged some of my favourite bands and musicians. This was in 1978 and through the early to mid eighties.

Blackfield - Blackfield (2005)
I’m at it again I’m afraid. I’m playing it safe and listening to my goto band . One reason why I love this band is that includes possibly my most listened-to-artist of the last 10 years - Mr Steven Wilson.

Interpol - Our Love To Admire (2007)
“Expert” reviews can really be polarising. I nearly didn’t watch a very good thriller the other night, a most entertaining and exciting Jackie Chan/Pearce Brosnan movie “The Foreigner”, coz at least half of the reviews said it sucked.
