  1. Or you can cheat and look up a list. If I pasted any more though, I'd give the game away I just picked two from 'my' genres though.
  2. Was found to have "subconsciously plagarised the song", but all versions on Discogs only credit Harrison (though that relies on folk editing it correctly, like Wiki). At least he didn't revert to My Lovely Horse.
  3. That last one stunned me Tiny Tim! Even though I knew the Beatles were into Motown, and that Lennon made some (positive, but I can't remember) comment about black-girl groups. Oanyhoo, a wee aside here, if you'll excuse me. I was wondering about guitar riffs and whether Les Paul knew wtf he'd unleash? (If you think all electric guitars sound the same, switch to his Telecaster video. Though prefer the SG one myself )
  4. So if a band just "gives a nod" to their heroes by borrowing a riff, do they not need to credit (pay) them? Just the riff mind you.
  5. But, I'm sticking to principals and not posting any Barry Manilow 😱 I'm pretty sure a few other Chopin preludes were the tunes behind a few old Hollywood musical hits too
  6. Probably not what you meant Exile, but these two'll save me a lot of time posting loads of videos 😄 I am a Zeppelin fan, and got me into listening to their roots/inspirations. I'm too young for the Stones Bonzo might watch this from the start too...
  7. I've had a similarly disgusting problem in my Renfrewshire area. Ally had nothing to do with it though. You need a drain guy Tidy, not a plumber. It took two or three attempts to unblock mine. First was thwarted by drain guy's equipment being frozen (a couple of Januarys ago). Next day, hosing upwards from near the street for hours loosened nothing but a pink plastic curler. Definitely not mine so it must have been stuck up there somewhere for years. The other +1 on this though was that his generator was screaming away all morning after the 'weans' next door had an all night party. Result 😄 That well meaning guy had to give up, but recommended folk with a camera on a flexi-rod-thingy. (I can't remember names, but fancy equipment means price goes up.) They revealed a fork in the pipe-work, showing that previous skooshing was straight-on, but the house was forked off to the side, which was why nothing was getting un-bunged. They could also see a lip though, so the drain from the house side was either badly built or damaged. Finally a guy had to go up on the roof. There's a vent there at the top of the drain system. Once up, a quick skoosh (less than a second) and all was relieved. Including the guy still possibly shitting himself on the roof. ...I did have a terrible image of the roof-skoosh backfiring though and the kitchen getting pebble-dashed, but ...phew.
  8. A loose approximation of the time you'll not get back watching this rough old 70's tape. Still lovin' it myself.
