Watching Summer of Love 

Summer of Soul, the Harlem Cultural Festival doc? I need to watch that.

Oops, yes typo/ brain fart. Summer of Soul. 

I had mixed feelings about it but what you get to see of some of the performances is good stuff.

reminded my self of this in another Discussion. Can't believe this was 2006. Sort of very good musicians playing nonsense, although I think that maybe the genre of music I like most - well played nonsense. 

Deadman

That petrol emotion.

Reminds me of my 6th form band days.

Octahedron

"Breakin' Outta Hell" by Airbourne.

It's in a playlist of Airbourne I made on Apple Music.

I started just making a heap of playlists of my favourite bands in my Apple Music Library the other day. Partly out of boredom and partly because lots of the bands I love the most and listen to frequently have substantial discographies and I struggle to pick just one album to put on when they all have so many good songs.

Rory Gallagher Top Priority.

Because I did a search for 'easy solos' and Bad Penny came up.

Lead tone to die for. Wowser.

Always liked that riff too, and it's "accessible" as long as I accept I'm playing a 'tribute' to the original not a reproduction. ;-)

Not heard that one before. That tone is something else...just lovely.

Morphine. Who needs guitars?

The War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding. I don't know how to describe this - it's the sort of music that I love listening to, and is immediately familiar when I hear it, but somehow any details, lyrics, melodies, leave my brain when the music stops. Great  though.

Radkey - Devil Fruit. I heard of these on a documentary and, although I wouldn't consider myself much of a punk person, I liked The Offspring and Green Day back in the day, and this scratches the same itch for me.

Ooh, need more info @tone1 ;. Young bluesy Shuggie or slightly older psychedelic Shuggie? 
Or Shuggies Chitlin Blues by Preston Love? Wonderful instrumental blues. 

I did see Shuggie live many years ago but straight bar band blues but such a raw talent he had been.

Definitely young bluesy Shuggie

right now? this. rocks.

Tenebrous

These two teens covering Nevermind in its entirety in one take... AND KILLING IT!

One of the best things I've seen on YouTube. 4 tracks deep & I'm gonna stick around for the lot.

DrCornelius

Dirk wears white sox - can’t believe I missed this first time round

Station - More Than The Moon. I'm finding it hard to categorise this, it's New Wave of Classic Rock apparently, and it fits the description I suppose, but whatever it is I'm enjoying it.

Little Comets - Same Lover

Right in the feels

I just listened to a couple of tracks - I'd say they're from the more middle-of-the road end of the late-80s American hard rock spectrum, a bit like Firehouse or Tyketto or something.

I'd have called that hair metal at the time (although some people never liked that term), maybe AOR.  I see Wikipedia now, retrospectively, calls all those bands glam metal, although I never thought of Firehouse or Dokken as "glam".

"New Wave of Classic Rock" is a strange description, they're saying it's "new" but nobody would have called that style classic rock in the 1980s.  It seems like the main qualification for being called classic rock is really just being around a long time.

God, all these stupid labels....
