I loved most of his work with Traffic and their influence over the development of Prog from 60's to 70's, but arguably for me this is my favourite Winwood-related track.

 

This is the one with most memories for me.

 

I thought Serbia's entry sounded familiar...

 

Eurovision is truly appalling.

It’s only worth watching for the political scoring at the end

Steve Winwood played the keyboards on this too

 

RIP Francis Monkman

A talented musician, composer and Producer, very much at the forefront emergence of Prog back in the late Sixties, early Seventies.
Some of his work with Curved Air was exceptional, although to be fair, many people never looked beyond Sonja Kristina!

Personally remember him best for writing one of the most iconic film scores of all time: The Long Good Friday:

 

Interesting version!
Tool passed me by until about 5 or 6 years ago when a mate compared Carey's drumming to Gavin Harrison. This track (their version) was quite innovative back in 2000 and is quite folksy in a way. Really must listen to more of their stuff.

 

RIP John Giblin
Only 71 with no illness history!
Not a household name, but one of the most respected bassists of all time. He was a go-to player for some of the biggest names, although for me, his work in the jazzrock field with Brand X was amazing.
A generation of exceptional players are dropping like flies!

I love this cover of Sober by Tool due to it being in a Russian shopping mall and she does not cut out the expletives while everyone continues the shopping

 

I have to say I'm quite surprised that no one has mentioned the untimely death of Andy Rourke today, at the age of just 59, from pancreatic cancer. I appreciate the Smiths probably weren't everybody's cup of tea but I do think his bass playing was severely underrated. Everybody talks about Morrissey and Marr but Andy and Mike Joyce were equally important to the sound. Certainly not my favourite Smiths song but I always loved Andy's bass on this track.

 

His baselines underpinned many of The Smiths greatest songs. So evident on “This charming Man”
One of the best bands of my youth. Shame they split when they did.
RIP Andy Rourke

 

He was certainly the best musician in the band and a very talented bassist. RIP indeed....59 is no age!

 

There were really only 2 bands that informed and guided me through my teens and into my 20's. As a 13 year old buying All Mod Cons in 1978, Paul Weller influenced the way I thought and dressed as well as introducing me to the likes of the Small Faces and the Who amongst others and I happily followed him and his ideals for the next four years until the break up of The Jam. I tried to continue with the Style Council but it just didn't have the same feel as The Jam and then along came Hand in glove around the middle of '83 and suddenly it all made sense again. I was fortunate enough to meet The Smiths, ironically outside W H Smiths, in Poole, on the Meat is Murder tour in March 1985 and they all came across as really decent people, even Morrissey! So for me this one feels really personal as they were more than just a band to me and now Andy's gone and barely a year older than me. I'm glad I got to see them live as many times as I did, well over 20 times, as they were really something live and whilst I never really thought they would reform clearly that can't happen now. Thankfully, I have the memories and for me this song will always be special because this is where it all started. RIP Andy.

 

After the utter crap served up in the second half yesterday I have retreated to music , remix of a Tangerine Dream track Love on a real train by Global Communication 76.14 track is 5.23

 

Apologies to those who like prog rock - but he's right, what a load of pretentious piffle!

 

I listened to JP from his early days when he champion all sorts of music including Prog , you listened to JP for something different and had to be prepared for some complete and utter nonsense, keep an open mind and enjoy what you like ,even JP was not perfect
