This week I have been mainly listening to Steven Wilson's album years podcasts and associated playlists.
I saw Down when they supported Heaven and Hell. They're pretty good
When you listen to Electric Ladyland it makes you wonder what Jimi would have gone on to create. According to some people who knew him he was interested in a huge range of music and was wanting to break out into other genres. Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of his death. Rest in peace Jimi.
The only guy I have ever seen that could cover Voodoo Child was Stevie Ray VaughanIndeed! It's a fantastic album, the definition of timeless. Also, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is heavy as hell for the time it was written. Superb.
The Iron Maiden debut is superb, I still give it a regular spin, it still sounds as fresh to me as it did 40 years ago.As I'm working from home and the wife and kids are back to work/school, I decided to listen to the whole Iron Maiden studio album catalogue in chronological order, am currently on to The X Factor which was the first album with Blaze Bayley.
Some absolute belters so far and didn't realise how much I love the debut album 'Iron Maiden' that Paul Di'Anno sang on.
