[quote]They did re-form in the early 2000s for a few gigs. I do find it a sad sight to see old geezers acting punk or acting rebelous. Sex Pistols were manufactured just like The Monkees. Sid couldn't even play a bassline.

Saying that Sham 69 are still going so credit to them. Richard Jobson is still touring but not with orginal Skids members.[/quote]

Much earlier than that.

Are you thinking of the Filthy Lucre tour they did in the summer of 1996?

Regards Sham 69, there was an edition of TOTP 1978 shown around late July on BBC Four to match up with the week back in '78 and Sham 69 kicked it off with a fabulous performance of If The Kids Are United. I could feel the energy and excitement even now as I watched it. I may well have seen it at the time but it would have passed me by, at the age of 9 I was more interested in the music of Grease that summer and obsessed by it. About a week later I heard Johnnie Walker play the same Sham 69 song on Radio 2 and must have repeated it about half a dozen times on BBC Sounds thereafter.

When will we ever get some music explosion that is as exciting again. Don't say never, why shouldn't we. Although I have a 16 year old nephew who has no real interest in any music, hasn't ever bought any or streamed/downloaded much music, if any, doesn't listen to any and has no favourite singers or bands. That would have been unthinkable when I was 16 when everyone was obsessed by music and what was happening. Think about how topsy turvy that is, a teenager with no music interest yet a fifty something still well into plenty of it and listening to it as much as possible and no different to my own 16 year old self in the 80's.[/quote]

Quick question Wyot, can you sing like or know anyone who can sing like Jon Anderson? A Yes tribute band based up North is looking for a new singer One of my all time favourite songs is the marvellous I'll Find My Way Home by Jon & Vangelis. The other big one they had together wasn't too bad either, I Hear You Now. His voice is unique. Both songs are popular on hospital radio. Oddly enough, I have picked up the Best of Jon and Vangelis from the stack for the truck this morning. It's hard to believe that Jon Anderson will be 80 next month.

Wyot	robbiex wrote: The only prog rock I know are Pink Floyd with "Another Brick in the Wall", which I liked and remember as a small child. Most of this music came out when I was primary school age or below and would have been below my radar. One criticism of prog rock is that it doesn't come from the street and isn't about rebellion. It is middle-class kids making songs about wizards and elfins, which as Morrissey would say "Says nothing to me about my life". I must be about the same age as you Robbie but have dipped into Floyd's early catalogue. I don't gave a deep knowledge of prog (notoriously hard to define and many would dispute PF are it) like GM. But if you listen to early Floyd, Genesis, or (later) Marillion you would be hard pushed to find references to elves; but I know what you mean. There is a fair bit of that sort of thing in the 70s rock bands generally and it can be very wacky.. (I tried to write "wanky" not wacky but KoHs predictive text would just not let me go there....)
