Quotematxil I think Frank Black (Black Francis in the Pixies) is a very underrated song-writer. I like his solo work better than this work with the Pixies. "Dog in the Sand" is a fantastic album and so is "Pistolero". I could do without the quirky, weirdy, freaky punk songs, but he's written some very good songs, with original twists and catchy melodies. This one, for e

I don't remember now what I may have heard on the radio in advance.

I seek comfort and joy through one of my RS playlists, spanning almost 60 years of music by The Rolling Stones, from their very first album, to so far their last album. We all get older.

Quote24FPS Since we don't have any of it in good sound, I'd like something well recorded from the '66 and '67 tours. Maybe they could do the digital magic they did to the BBC tapes to bring up what exists into a listenable experience. Got Live If You Want It is exciting in places but really lacking fidelity wise. I do share that wish as my most wanted.

Marvellous reading, GasLightStreet! One vital objection though. You are leaving out what went before. That is, their first period as R&B band. Thereafter, their phase as a progressive popband with three albums (one of which we know that you do dislike) and a string of defining "noisy" single A-sides with great B-sides as well.

I abstain from looking at the videos. So how can I judge? But from the rather scarce concerts that I have attended over the decades, compared to many others here, (I have sought not to drown my earliest concert impressions from before 1990), I do not experience them during the concerts I have been to, as dead, far from it. All the same, I have felt them as a routine, highly competently delivered
