Am I mad, in a coma, or have I just been listening to the Life On Mars Original Soundtrack CD. Most excellent. Not surprising really as the picking ground for material, the 70's, has been identified as the best decade for popular music. My only criticism of it is the lack of any Hawkwind , not that I'm biased, especially as the show has featured Brainstorm , Silver Machine , Urban Guerrilla , Ejection and You Shouldn't Do That over its two seasons. Still there's always the potential for a second soundtrack album at some stage in the future and plenty of material still to chose from.

I've got a Glyder album on order, Playground For Life. The tracks of their's I've heard sound like a modern day version of Thin Lizzy. Not surprisingly Phil Lynott's mother is a fan of their's too.
Northern Ireland seams to be a hotbed for new 'classic' rock bands at the moment.
Right then George and Mike get back over to my blog i've answered all your recent comments in order received...
Still, Whitesnake aren't the Whitesnake we grew up with. You need M3 (Marsden Moody Murray) for that. Back in the 80s, Coverdale went off to the States, in search of dollars, and created something which is still better than Def Leppard. (Cough!)
But, I do recommend Tommy Aldridge's other band: Thin Lizzy. Sykes, Gorham, Aldridge, and bass player du jour. Some folks say "it's not Lizzy without Lynott", but it's still an excellent evening's entertainment.
