70s, I bought lots of music and over the years less and less as other things became important (bikes, cars, aeroplanes, women, in order of impact on disposable income.) Seventies woud be hard to choose between Moving Waves, The Roaring silence Business as Usual and Plastic Letters. Special mention though for The Man in the Bowler Hat.
Eighties. A lot of stuff I heard subsequently has found its way to the top of the playlist but Mirror Moves must have hit something because I'm really excited to be seeing them again at the Bataclan in November.
Nineties. A decade lost to an obsession with Saab Turbos. Can't remember any music other than Jagged Little Pill which hasn't worn well.
Twenty First Century. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
Last decade. Crimson/Red.
Much of what's around now is of very little interest and I find myself seeking out stuff I never heard long ago. |

There's a lot more money siphoned off by the tax loopholes exploited by the rich than the benefit claimants will ever be able to get their hands on, honestly or otherwise.
The tax you pay to provide necessary universal credit to working people, for example, is a direct subsidy to those too greedy to pay them a living wage. |

The country 's wealth but not that of its people because most houses belong to the financial institution that owns the mortgage |

When the Beatles were paying 97 pence in the pound, people still drove around in E-types and a working man could afford a house, wife and kids on a single income so regressive taxation worked then. The problem is the disproportionate price of housing and that is due to the greed of the banks. Perhaps they should be taken back into public ownership and this time not sold back to Tory donors at ten pence in the pound! |

Yes. There is a point where people become obscenely rich and it should not happen when pensioners can't afford to stay warm in an affluent country.
I don't regard the problem as being the person stepping off a dinghy with nothing so much as the one stepping on to his other yacht. I've nothing against wealth, compared to most of the world, I'm wealthy but I have something that the filthy rich will never have and that's enough. |

1. Coz I Luv U-Slade (forty years before textspeak - Who would have thought Noddy Holder to have been such a visionary?)
2. Mike Oldfield Wembley arena.
3. Stackridge, Stones or MMEB?/ No, Psych Furs, Bristol 2023.
4. Steeleye Span Guildhall and Curved Air who were awful.
5. Changes by the hour so no reliable answer.
6. Olivia Rodwhatshername. Toneless histrionic screeching racket. |

Gong. Ah, yes. When I returned to Southampton from living in Denmark c.1986, there was a very right on vegetarian Cafe on Onslow Road called "The Flying Teapot."
The running joke there was:
"What's this fly doing in my soup? Dying of hypothermia." |

Although Kneecap and Bob Vylan are expressing views that Pat finds offensive, there was some happy clappy Christian being shown on the coverage. A dual standard for sure. As was said by the UN head, the October 7 attack didn't happen in a vacuum. Hezbollah were the good guys when they were the Mujahadin, remember. Much of Woodstock was a protest against the Vietnam war and if people that youngsters look up to express their opinions then that s better than the fake news from the "influencers" followed by the vacuous braindeads in my opinion.
I may not agree with those views but they should never be silenced. Those of the rat Farage particularly offend me and I would happily see him used as sharkbait an inch at a time but without his beliefs on open display , they cannot be properly challenged. |

Agreed Winchesterexile. Back in my day, Debbie Harry, although sexy as hell, always turned up fully dressed (is it mysogynistic to say "more's the pity?")but then she could sing. [Post edited 29 Jun 7:45]

I can't stand Olivia Rodrigo's histrionic screeching but it pales into tolerable having just heard Brandi Carlile's cold blooded murder of Woodstock. My God, that was dire. |
