Not only was that Tony Kelly album posted before but the follow up post was almost exactly the same. We're going round in circles!

Meanwhile, for no apparent reason, Lon & Derrek Van Eaton are asking, "Who Do You Out Do".

The tune 'We Got Love' off that Tom Jones record is quite good. It's a total Issac Hayes/Barry White production and that moogy bass in the right channel and scratchy guitar in the left is pretty funky.

I know it's not an album title but I never knew this was a thing

That list needs correction: it lists the wrong "Jagger" song from 2011.

BTO's not fragile was a 'nuk nuk' riposte to fragile by yes

a but (brimstead), Saturday, 4 March 2017 21:03 (seven years ago) link

or rather...

In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange."[1] He thought that BTO music could be "dropped and kicked" without breaking, so, without intending any commentary about Yes, the band "tongue-in-cheek" called their next album Not Fragile.

bachman turner overdrive - old americans

increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Saturday, 4 March 2017 23:28 (seven years ago) link

I think the Yes album cover actually had a picture of the world breaking, which is true; I mean, the world is a fragile place as far as the ecology and things like that. So it's not us against the band Yes. We just thought that was kind of a strange title, so we thought we'd call ours Not Fragile.

And that's how rock and roll albums get made.

he really is the closest we've got to a washed up aging 70s rock star, glad he's coming through with a classic album title

does anyone outside of the UK have that haircut? that combed down sideburns w the bangs brushed forward and then fluffed up in the back? I feel like that is literally a thing I see solely on a small subset of UK "rock" dudes

it looks like he got an ordinary shag haircut, and then someone slapped a 'rocker' halloween costume wig (or brain slug) on top towards the back.

There's about 500 guys with that hairstyle on this thread: a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis

Give it a year or two, there probably will be.

But I'm on the Guest List is A+

plus aspects of the 70s lasted through the first couple years of the 80s

haha these are great

niels, Thursday, 16 March 2017 20:36 (seven years ago) link

yeah i've never had a problem with these extending way past the 70s, though it helps when it's an act that plausibly had been saving up this title since that time. the 70s is a ~feeling~ with these cats.

and yeah "But, I'm On The Guest List" is incredible
