I've seen them,couldn't believe how small John Oates is.
Oates is tiny isn't he mate, but then Daryl Hall is over 6ft so maybe he just looks smaller than he is.

I saw them supporting Fleetwood Mac at Wembley in 1990 and they stole the show. Their original version of Every Time You Go Away, the Paul Young cover, really got the crowd singing along. Good act.

Bit of a bizarre line-up because Jethro Tull were on the same bill too.

Actually Muddy, most of the examples on here are bands from the 70's, over 40 years ago so we're not really talking up to date music at all.

I keep in touch with modern music but stay away from chart pop. Simon Cowell destroyed what we know as rock music twenty years ago, and Stock Aitken & Waterman before him. Disposable rubbish but then it's not geared towards our age group.

The best music doesn't get into the charts these days. There are loads of great acts out there who can seriously play good music who don't get a look in which is a shame.

Indeed, Simon is 5ft 2in (5ft 3in with his wig) - I always thought Garfunkel was tall (by comparison) but he's 5ft 9in ....

Re: Lets see how upto date you lot are

So this new craze called Yacht music is really just made up of old music.
