Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Gary Moore is an ersatz what? I saw him with Greg Lake in, I'm guessing, the very early eighties. Good guitarist. Ugly as fuck.

It’s not that I don’t think white folk can play the blues - Bob Dylan makes a good fist of it - but there is no excuse for turning an authentic art form into soft rock pap.

I want to bring Larry Joe Bird into the conversation but I fear the tangent will be too wild even for us. Instead I shall offer William Frederick Gibbons.

Good music, but it ain’t the blues.

Am I allowed to bring in eighties prog or modern prog to this thread..... Or will I be hunted down by a psychedelic, pitchfork bearing mob? 😁

Well in that case, can I point you in the direction of Lazuli. French prog rockers. No idea what they're on about, but they have a lovely sound with plenty of nods to older music, but with enough nuances to keep it interesting.

Bonkers - check the thread description - prog, jazz, Dylan, even Santana, CBSO and The Dan. All ‘proper music’ debate welcome.
