  3. #Music #Rock #TheWho #Song #UK #BabaORiley #RockMusic #Iconic #Classic I came across this song on a childhood trip to the Lake District many many years ago, and fond memories flood back every time I hear it… (particularly of Aira Force Waterfall near Ullswater for some reason!) I’m happy to say the song’s as good today as it was then, and the hypnotic intro never fails to get me…

  5. Out here in the fields
    I fight for my meals
    I get my back into my living
    I don't need to fight
    To prove I'm right
    No I don't need to be forgiven
    No no no no no no no!

    And some excellent Keith Moon on the Sticks!

    Sorta lost in space, racin’ the moon

    Still overall I can’t complain”

  7. #TBT #CurrentlyWatching They're pretty much unknown here in USA, but the Shadows were a huge influence on multiple generations of British rock'n'roll from the Beatles to Black Sabbath and beyond. They seem like hella nice people too.

    The prompt is #Alone

    #TheSmithereens “Alone at Midnight” from "Especially for You,"1986

    #Smithereens never hid their influences, #BritishInvasion #PowerPop especially early #Kinks and #TheWho, but their music never sounds dated; the standout track “Blood and Roses” was regarded as so cool and modern upon its release, it was used to great effect in an otherwise-wordless opening scene of an episode of #MiamiVice. (Move over, #PhilCollins.)

    There’s a luminous quality to #PatDiNizio’s vocals - I hear a little #MickeyDolenz, a little #BobMould (which is not a bad delineation of their musical territory), but uniquely his own; Mike Mesaros’s #BassLines offer countermelodies. An occasional dash of #tambourine with the solid drumming adds some #60s energy, their chord progressions both hint at and evoke yearning, and of course there are those jangling/biting guitars. These elements all come together on “Alone at Midnight.”
