"Stay with me" is good but the B side of the single is even better

Thanks for posting this, PS. I recall reading about this song a while ago in an article on Ronnie Lane in Classic Rock. First time I've heard it.

The Cream of Eric Clapton, Deep Purple in Rock, 'Argus' by Wishbone Ash.

excellent stuff.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

I've not been on here much over the past couple of days so this thread has moved on a bit. Glad to see 'Can't stand the heat' by Quo. Btw, 'Accident Prone' was also my favourite track.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

All great albums, Basser and those acts feature quite often in the list. The Cream of Eric Clapton itself doesn't
Though as it's a compilation. ☺

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

I looked up Accident Prone as a single and for the Quo it was a pretty abysmal chart placing at No.38. Big shame as I think it's a terrific song. But then, charts don't determine a great song. People already had the album by then maybe.

No.890: "To The Bone" by Steven Wilson (2017)


You may not be familiar with the name Steven Wilson, but you will have probably heard his production on many albums by big name acts such as Marillion, Dream Theater, Muse and many more. The former lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist/producer of both Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief progressive rock bands, he has seen a series of solo albums progress with ascending popularity over the past 15 years or so. This is a rather uncharacteristic 'pop' moment from his latest release:

No.889: "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs (2005)


One of the most successful recent-ish "indie-rock" bands, Kaiser Chiefs hit the big time with this debut album.

No.888: "Don't Believe The Truth" by Oasis (2005)


Another album in a row from 2005 and this time it's from the undisputed kings of modern indie, the Gallagher brothers. Ignoring their swagger and their surly attitude, you can't deny that Oasis brought out some great singles and albums in their 15 years as a functioning band (however much Noel might have cleverly nicked from his favourite bands!). 'Don't Believe The Truth' includes three singles, this one is my choice to play here:

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

I'll leave you with this one today, and following the bit of a mess-up with my 'Odessa' featurette, hopefully this will make amends...

No.887: "Trafalgar" by The Bee Gees (1971)



Again, these early albums from The Bee Gees are severely underrated and perhaps even unheard by the fans of Saturday Night Fever generation, but aren't they absolutely fantastic? A treat for you - the whole album in full:
