Popular Post Geeselad Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 My favourite rock band won't be many folks favourites on here, but I'm always fascinated by what they were listening to and they obviously had great taste. There are other examples but maybe someone else can remind me. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Happy Feet Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Ah ha , recently I had this conversation with Chris Anderton , and believe it or not, "Rob the Mod " sat in on Radio 6 music , for a couple of weeks and one of the tunes he played ( from his reputed 1 Million strong record collection) on UK Stateside of course , was Vernon Garretts, Shine It On , and is still an avid collector of Kent ( ace / Kent etc ) albums , to this day . Like I've always said the music of your youth is very hard to shake off . Edited October 28, 2023 by Happy Feet 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Cooper Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The late Francis (Terry) Thomas told me that Robert Plant would sometimes call in to his record shop in Kidderminster - Mister Tees. Robert would buy all sorts but mainly soul and RnB type stuff and had a good knowledge of most US recording artists. He must have an awesome collection by now. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think that muddy album got slated by the traditionalist fans at the times, but possibly went on to inspire a genre Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

He still does , Terry now owns the business and Robert as he calls him , not Planty like his mates , still frequent's the shop has a keen ear but always manages to get a bumper discount , no wonder he's got a 1 Million plus record collection lol 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Daniel Nooger Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Those Muddy albums and the Wolf "dogshit" albums did have their fans back in the day. Ronnir Wood recalled in an old Nick Kent NME interview that when the revamped Faces were first getting together, the Wolf album was in heavy rotation, especially for Kenney Jones. Years later they became motherlodes for hip hop producers to stripmine for heavy beat samples. I recall the late Mark *45 King" James ("900 Number") visiting my apartment once, in the early 90's and offering me $100 on the spot for my copy of Electric Mud. Recently, rapper Common re-assembled the EM band to cut a new project. Chuck D is apparently also a fan 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Parker Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Robert Plant loved his 60's soul . i remember a radio interview, when he visited Manchester many years later, he referenced the Twisted wheel , asking where it had gone ? you'll find lots of the 60's 'rockers/beat boys' were soul music fans. good taste Edited October 31, 2023 by Ian Parker typo 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
