Temptations - Papa was a Rolling Stone - simple, in the same way as Psycho Killer

I could listen to it all day.

The Blockheads were (are?) a fantastically tight band. I found out recently that Trevor Horn used to use them as his house band from time to time and he was extremely picky.

They blew me away live.

The Stranglers. Hanging Around.

JJ Burnel is one of my legends.
