Hello All,

So it's Sunday evening. I don't have to work tomorrow and I'm enjoying a beer or three, playing some loud music as the wife is away visiting relatives, and I'm wondering what to play next.
Van Der Graaf Generator? (naaah..don't feel like prog rock right now).
Wishbone Ash? (naaah..saw 'em live so many times in the early 70's).
Gov't Mule? (naaah...just got into them and they are good but..).
Steve Gibbons Band? (naaah...but brilliant band...)

So I find the soundtrack to The Full Monty..have a look and track five is Cockney Rebel's Come Up and See Me... (yeah....that makes me feel good).

We have three Airedales and our first is Monty, named after The Full Monty,General Montgomery and Monty Python. Old fella's getting on a bit (like me) but has great taste in music (like me) :)
Time to go....
Be Seeing You.

Edit: So The Full Monty has ended, and Van Der Graaf Generator's live double cd "Vital" is now on. I know they are an acquired taste but...what a band.
Anyone like Gentle Giant's "In A Glass House"?

  • Reassuringly expensive.
How can you tell what music your dog enjoys? Does he dance or try to make love to the speakers? :laugh:
If you can't say something nice don't say nothing at all.

that would give a whole new meaning to the word "woofer" (think about it!)

Nice choice of alternative music.
Got me thinking, is our liking of SH the only thing all us Rebel fans have in common, or do we all have a similar broader taste in music. Other than Cockney Rebel, who are and always will be number 1, these are the 'other' bands I've been heavily in to at sometime or other over the last 40 odd years;

1. Bowie
2. Sparks
3. James
4. Pink Floyd/Roger Waters
5. Frank Zappa
6. Echo and the Bunnymen
7. Greenday
8. The Jam
9. The Clash
10. Stiff Litte Fingers

Does anyone else have a pretty good correlation to this list?
