Big Star (#1 Record) -1972
Love (Forever Changes) - 1967

A couple of cracking albums by groups I didn't pay any attention to first time around, although 1967 was a bit early.

Enjoy!

Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons. Totally off my radar in the 70's, but now (with TV advertising) on my play list.

I was thinking about this topic today. Another complete miss of mine was ELO and particularly Jeff Lynne. To me at the time he was just a man with stupid hair, playing the celeb by continuously wearing those stupid sunglasses and talking in that (careful here...) Brummie accent :D

I know with age (and maturity? :P ) appreciate what a great songwriter he was/is and also what a ridiculously well talented producer he is.

I think what I am enjoying now is being able to actually go and see the heroes of my youth!  I could never afford to go and see the most popular people at the time but I am loving the concerts now.  Tonight I am off to see Barry Gibb......I am so excited!

Keith.
Re Jeff Lynne, if you search You Tube for clips of the Traveling Wilburys
and Concert for George (Harrison) there are some good clips of Jeff.
A very nice and humble Brummie sought after by top "stars"
Lynne
Enjoy tonight, can't beat the concerts.          :)

I was the opposite, loved The Jam and hated the commercial rubbish he came out with ever since  :)

ah but you are much younger than me.  Saw the documentary on Jeff Lynne last Saturday.. Brilliant man.. There is a documentary every Saturday night on a different "music hero" we have enjoyed them all except the Tom Jones one.. No idea which channel it is on because we are usually on our second bottle of wine by then...Going with Scunners recommendation tonight... The Australian Shiraz.

Documentaries are on BBC 4, usually around a theme or individual.
