The Spinners at Morecambe Winter Gardens in 1973
The Stones, followed by the Doors (both 4/5). Jimi Hendrix and Creedence Clearwater Revival (3/5) are both good albums, too. I always want to like Jimi Hendrix more than I do. I have all his studio albums, but rarely play them, with the exception of Electric Ladyland (4.5/5), all the way through.
I love the title track, 'Dandy In the Underworld' and 'I love to Boogie' isn't a bad shot at the classic Bolan sound. The rest of the album is ok. A distant shadow of Marc and the band in their prime, though.
Yes, yes.... My absolute favourite Led Zeppelin song. That walking bassline is just brilliant :-)
Northern Sky is one of my favourite songs.
This is my favourite Alice Cooper album. A stone cold classic. The run from Love It To Death to Welcome To My Nightmare is phenomenal, and the following albums through to (and including) From the Inside, are pretty good, too. One of the most underrated song writers
I've seen Pink Floyd twice, so I'd go for Led Zeppelin, just to tick them off my list.
Desolation Angels (3/5) is a solid rather than great album. 'Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy' is the highlight of the album. Boz Burrell's 'Gone, Gone, Gone' and Mick Ralphs' 'Oh, Atlanta' are pretty strong, too, but the rest of the songs feel like Bad Company by numbers.
A great choice. I was lucky to see them perform the album live. A great show
A fantastic performer and great with Pink Floyd, but his solo output is always disappointing

Courtney Pine in Cambridge in the late 80's. Due on at 7.30pm but left at 12.30am without him showing up. Apparently, he did play, but I was at work the next day so couldn't wait any longer.
Pink Floyd (5/5)
The Clash (4.5/5)
Bruce Springsteen (3/5)
Stevie Wonder (2.5/5)
A thing of beauty
Rainbow albums got worse with each release (with the exception of Stranger In Us All). Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (5/5), Rising (4.5/5), Long Live Rock n Roll (4/5), Down To Earth (4/5), Difficult To Cure (4/5), Stranger In Us All (3/5). The remaining two are pretty poor (2/5 and 1/5 respetively)
Paul McCartney and Ringo (and Ronnie Wood) at the 02 London
Asia and Steve Howe (he'd left by that point) in Cambridge
Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs in Cambridge
The Sex Pistols introduced by Stuart Pearce on Filthy Lucre tour
Deep Purple and Ronnie James Dio at the Albert Hall in London
1. Fleetwood Mac (5/5)
2. Heart (3/5)
3. Dire Straits (2.5/5)
4. Jackson Browne (2/5)
Ringo Starr
Ian Paice
Dale Griffin
It's ok (3/5), but I find it a little boring and too long. Some great tracks but an equal amount of filler. I love the art work, and the production is great. I know this sounds clichéd and unoriginal, but it would have made a fantastic single album.
Rory Gallager. He played my local venue on his last tour but I didn't have £12.50 for a ticket.
I particularly like Heart Of the Sunrise, Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, and Mood For a Day. For me, Fragile is a 4.5/5 album and my favourite by Yes
.
Hammersmith Apollo
A good album (4/5) but, for me, not his best. I've always preferred After the Gold Rush (5/5).
