The Pretty Things: Greatest, and most underrated, band in the world!!!

+ Better than S.F. Sorrow?
+ what a surprise !

Parachute For ages I've been a very ardent fan of The Pretty Things' work up until 1968's "S.F. Sorrow" magnum opus. An impressive body of work, enviable by any major Sixties band and easily the equal of the finest records by more hyped bands such as The Stones, The Beatles and just about any ...

+ IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

While soaking in "Children of Men", I heard the long forgotten "Court of the Crimson King" used throughout the soundtrack for the film.

Nicely out of Mott

+ Outstanding Debut Album!

Newcastle upon Tyne, England, over the years has given us some of the greats of the rock world, 'The Animals', 'The Police', and 'Geordie' to name but a few (well, perhaps Geordie weren't as great, but they did give us Brian Johnston, lead singer with AC/DC today). None of these bands were greater ...

"Fog on the Tyne" was Lindisfarne's second album originally released on Charisma records in 1971. It contains their first single-hit "Meet Me on the Corner", and the album itself spent many weeks in the charts. It's popularity even brought their first album "Nicely out of Tune" back into the ...
