I can’t remember if I biked over or caught the bus to my destination of Napier 15 miles away, but I do remember being there for the Saturday afternoon screening of “The Song Remains The Same” in ‘76 or ‘77.

I finally got to watch the fantastic XTC documentary “This Is Pop” today via some dodgy streaming service (ok, I was desperate!

I’ve listened to Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, up to and including the excellent “Then Play On” and the megastar Linsey Buckingham-era Fleetwood Mac that peaked with “Rumours” and “Tusk”.

This very strong debut catapulted this band into indie superstardom and you can hear why. (actually, prior to putting it on I had forgotten it was their first record!

More from those seminal years then. Thank god punk and new wave eventually came along to rescue one from the dinosaurs that prevailed but there really was no other period for rock like the early to mid 70s.

I make no bones about it. Mick Ronson was/is the most important guitar player of my lifetime. It’s a bold statement - but when you first encounter “Moonage Daydream” as a bare-arsed 12 year old, it counts for everything.

I went for a nice solo walk on a cold, dull morning - just me, my iPhone and my Sennheiser Headphones.

This particular record obviously didn’t mean anything to me as a 7 year old when this was released in 1967, but five or 6 years later I definitely remember hearing Hendrix on a big set of headphones at my local church youth club.

This record, along with their earlier “Very ‘Eavy Very ‘Umble”, Tull’s “Aqualung” and the incomparable and never bettered, The Who’s “Live At Leeds” were HUGE for me as a shy, day dreaming, on-another-planet 12 year old.

How the shitting hell did I miss this one?? I’ve been a devoted (pardon the pun) Depeche Mode fan since 1997’s “Violator” and have worked backwards as well as including all subsequent releases to ensure I get my full fix.
