In the same vein I'm going to throw these in for you, 60/70's English folk is criminally under appreciated outside the UK

[DownInFlames]

I love Fairport Convention but don’t know too much about Pentangle. I’ll check them out.

How about Spirogyra?

[afc wimbledon]

Steelye Span is in their with a shout, Pentangle is Bert Jansch's band, he that taught Jimmy Page to play folk and wrote Black Water Side which Page stole

[Puppet Guy]

All good stuff, AFC! The Be Bop Deluxe tune reminded me of this one:





and Pentangle brought Jethro Tull to mind:

[Baron von Kriterium]

On this date 42 years ago, Sid Vicious died of a drug overdose. He was 21.

Before Sid Vicious was in the Sex Pistols, he asked Lemmy Kilmister to teach him to play bass. But only after a few days, Lemmy gave up and said, "Sid, you can't play bass."
Sid replied, "No, I know," and walked away.
A couple of months later, Lemmy met Sid at The Speakeasy in London.
Sid Vicious: "Hey, Lemmy, guess what? I’m in The Pistols!"
Lemmy: "What do you mean?"
Sid Vicious: "I’m the bass player in the Pistols. It’s great, innit?"
Lemmy: "You can’t play bass, Sid."
Sid Vicious: "Yeah, yeah, I know, but I’m in the ####ing pistols!"




Also on this date in 1981, Iron Maiden released Killers. This is my favorite album of theirs.

The UK loves a novelty hit, punk threw up more than a few

[DownInFlames]

Canadian punk humour isn’t as sophisticated.

Went downtown for a cup of tea
And I saw two skinheads looking at me
I gave 'em headbutts (x4)

they got grief in the UK because two of them were in the Strawbs, which is bullcrap really because the Strawbs were awesome!!

I think we talked before how Stuart Adamson (Big Country) started in The Skids.

[troutman]

Felt were an English indie pop band, formed in 1979 in Water Orton, Warwickshire, and led by the mononymous Lawrence.[1] They were active for ten years through the 1980s, releasing ten singles and ten albums. The band's name was inspired by Tom Verlaine's emphasis of the word "felt" in the Television song "Venus".[2]
