It beats me why people even discuss The Beatles in the same sentence as The Rolling Stones. Yes, by all means compare The Pretty Things, The Who and (at a push) Led Zeppelin to The Rolling Stones, but not a Pop group like The Beatles! I say this as a big Beatles fan, just like I'm a big fan of The Hollies, The Dave Clark Five, The Tremeloes and Gerry and The Pacemakers... ALL legendary Po

QuoteZotz K.C. Jones - 'Under my Thumb' video: Was this actually released (vinyl, CD, download, streaming, etc)? I didn't include covers that were solely performed online or in concert. Additionally, I don't find it that great... so it would never have made the book, even if it was properly released.

QuoteElmo Lewis The lyrics reflect a different time - before everyone became so "enlightened" and easily offended. It's only rock and roll. I'm neither enlightened or offended... Great music is timeless, and (to my ears) never needs to be changed, explained or banished.

QuoteVoodooLounge13I've never been a fan of most of their live albums released before they started the whole From The Vault series. Flashpoint and Stripped were the two I listened to the most. I loved the concept of No Security, but it's kind of like a live rarities album vs. an actual concert. I think it would have gone over better if they'd put those songs within the context o

QuoteGasLightStreet The beauty of the GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! Chuck Berry versions is their sludge. They hump along. It's not all up, it's a good drag, a good bit draggy. A bit sleazy. The songs have hips, flow, not all rigid and tight. They're classics in their own right. It seemed fashionable to perform rock 'n' roll songs this way at the tail end of the '60s/s

QuoteHairball I think the Ya Ya's live version is quite sluggish and sloppy. Not too bad, but I'll take the Chuck original any day. I've always thought that the two Berry songs from Ya Ya's are the weakest things on there (Rock without the Roll!). My favourite version of 'Carol' is from Paris 1965, see below at around 8:49...

I saw and met The Specials in 2009, when the 6-part reunion line-up (no Jerry Dammers) came to a theatre where I worked as a doorman. The band mostly came and left separately, and it was clear that there were still bad feelings amongst some of them, with only Horace Panter & John Bradbury hanging out together. A fine show though, despite the non-inclusion of 'Ghost Town' (Horace com
