What a lyric,Bill Haley And The Comets,i got the best of for a pound at Tescos and it got me thinking as i was trukin round Cornwall about how important music in our lives is...is it important to you lot,very or you not bothered..What a great sound it was old Bill Haley who looked more like an undertaker than a pop star!.Twenty records and i could hear every word he sang the notes crisp and fresh yet it was 60 years old..i know posters like BobsOrange and others are really into there music and i like modern music but cant help feeling those early years must have been so liberating for the young people of those days,no tele,computers etc..after old Bill Haley i put my ten year old Prodigy tape on,brilliant but thats another story.

I once brought a second hand car. Driving it home i found a Barry Manilow tape still in the player. Out the window it went!

When I bought my car there was a Fleetwood Mac CD still in the stereo. They're not that bad, but it still want out the window frisbee stylee.

The Bill Haley lyrics are a bit shit. The Big Joe Turner original is filthy (for it's time)

Agree Lumps...but you can hear what they are singing about at least!

It must have been very exciting to be around at the birth and breakthrough of rock and roll. For starters there wouldn't have been all the weary cynicism or sense of deja vu that you get with most music these days.

 Yes it was....my first gig was Marty Wilde and the Wildcats.  Marty's real name was Reg Smith  8)

Kim Smith - nope don't work

 Without wishing to insult any Smiths on here, I think if I'd been born a Smith, I'd have at least considered changing it.

rumours is one of the best albums ever imo.fleetwood mac did some stinkers, but some absolute classics aswell.
my mother has old bill hayley and the comets records that were her fathers,and they got played i remember as a child.my grandad was a smith as it goes

Thic could be a great thread game.

Name the person and place who said that quote.

"I'm like a one eyed cat peeping at a seafood store" muttered Fatbury to himself at the S Club Juniors gig at the Carsley Leisure Centre, Bolton 2001.
