Ten albums that…

There is a chain thing doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter at the moment and I have had a couple of nominations to take part. So I thought I would post here in one go rather than inflict my choices on people over a needlessly long time. If you ask me tomorrow it will probaby be 10 different albums. Yes it’s cheating, but what’s the use of a music blog if you don’t abuse the privilege, so in no particular order, here we go.

Album Challenge Day 1-10 Thanks John, David & Rich for this amazing opportunity to stun all my FB/Twitter friends with incredible music wonders!  I’ve been given a task to choose 10 albums that greatly influenced my taste in music. No explanations, no reviews, just album covers.

Yet more Power Pop…

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Go All The Way: A Literary Appreciation of Power Pop. Edited by Paul Myers and S. W. Lauden it’s a mine of information and opinion. With What is Power Pop being almost as common a question as What is Americana, and just as...
