Does this mean that Dire Straights were once cool?

Love the Strawbs from the witchwood was one of my favourite albums back in the day They are still performing. Last time I saw them it was Cousins, Lambert and Rick Wakeman's son Oliver on keyboard.

Does this mean that Dire Straights were once cool? No. But they were unknown at this time, so it wasn't clear and people were more tolerant in those days. <smiley> Excellent choice!

The sensational Alex Harvey band Here you go.
Powerful cover of Jacques Brel's "Next"
"Faith Healer" is on the other thread and I've just found a good "St. Anthony". It's not OGWT so I'll stick that on there as well.
I'll see if I can find the tasteful flipside "There's no Lights on the Christmas tree Mother, they're burning Big Louie tonight" as well.

Does this mean that Dire Straights were once cool? Knopfler is a real technician, such a fantatstic sound, I love this era of Dire Straits.

Perhaps most interesting "Goth" band of them all; The Sisters of Mercy.
Andrew Eldritch remains something of an enigma to this day, in truth he had more in common with Jaques Brel and Leonard Cohen than Bauhaus, but Wayne Hussey was goth's Kermit the Frog and ultimately dragged them into the same desperate quagmire as The Fields of the Nephilim and all the other piles of crap.
The Sisters' Gary Marx/Ben Gunn era early 12" vinyl is worth checking and particularly Eldritch's Sisterhood "Gift" album remains a quite interesting, experimental and unGoth thingy.

Absolutely love this. Looks just like he's just come down off Whitter, been doing doffers, chucking bricks and such.
A time capsule for me. I've watched the OGWT compilations, why did it finish? Did shows like Riverside, Something Else, The Tube and such kill it? They seemed to try and 'youth' it up with Annie Nightingale etc. I can't remember what happened. S'pose Jools has cornered the market.

Whilst OGWT represents a superb body of documented work, it has a serious lack of Hip Hop, Jazzness and Electronica for my tastes, but you can't have everything...

Even the relaunched Whistle Test was petrified of machine/synth music, the dinosaur pussies.
