Spooky, Dave. My old Mum took exception to my teenage practicing about the time I started learning Capt Beefheart's Smokin' Stones an' Beatle Bones...

I have always liked Rod Stewart, although the commercial disco smoochers were never my preferred listening. I reckon his "Reason to Believe" album is my personal favourite, especially his wonderful rendition of Dirty Old Town, although I can listen to his MTV Unplugged all day.

Pink Floyd spoke to me and that's not up for discussion! In fact the only album that I was disappointed in wasn't really theirs, but when Syd Barret left, he did an album which I wanted to like but couldn't. I reckon his brain was too fried by then. (He of course being the subject of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.)

I shall listen to both, I haven't yet.
