The obvious one as their only near hit. Went to one of their concerts at the time because a flatmate was a big fan, but didn't become a big worshipper myself - probably because it was during my grunge phase. |

Grunge phase? I always thought that you were a glamrocker/Bay City roller... |

You used to mention Demis Roussos quite often, that alone is reason enough. |

Demis had his moments, but stuff like this, this and later this were some of my music life-changers ... |

This song is better. But I'm still in my "grunge phase" and I also listen to music like this as well. |

@Dsl: Thanks a lot. I knew the two "Krautrock"-tunes but had never heard of Uncle Topelo so far. Besides, I had always thought that no one in the UK except for maybe a couple of music journalists knows about the Krautrock-genre. |

Krautrock was one of my lonelier musical adventures - never really made sense to my music comrades, which probably made me pursue it further. But Julian Cope was a big fan and flag-waver - Link to "www.discogs.com" , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrocksampler before his brain emigrated to another galaxy. Uncle Tupelo released 4 albums - all brilliant - then imploded, with one half (Jeff Tweedy) becoming Wilco and the other (Jay Farrar) becoming Son Volt. But they never did anything as good as the Tupelo stuff. |

@dsl: Thanks a lot for the information! I knew about Wilco as I used to have one of their albums (I think it was "A ghost is born"), but as I said, I had never heard about Uncle Tupelo before. And sadly I'm not much of a Krautrock-connaisseur either. I'm sure there is still a lot of great stuff to discover, but it somehow opened my eyes to something even better: Progressive Rock. BTW, Greg Lake passed away a couple of days ago. What a loss. -- Last edit: 2017-05-22 00:16:52 |
