Anyone who doesn't like ELP is probably not a fan of Prog Rock in general. I'd sooner listen to Alan "Fluff" Freeman's Rock Show or Pick of the Pops anytime. Alright? Not half! Smile

I used to religiously listen to Fluff's Saturday afternoon rock shows. I met him once back in the day and he was a genuinely nice bloke.

Fluff was  a tremendously good sport too, especially here, when he sends himself up in a guest appearance with Radio Fab FM DJ's, Smashie & Nicey. Smile


Smashie & Nicey also made a spoof Alan Freeman ad for Deptford Draylons. Tongue

I suspect he was the main inspiration for Smashie & Nicey - possibly with a bit of DLT, Tony Blackburn and Noel Edmonds in the mix.

Your mention of Noel Edmonds has just reminded me of this Deal or No Deal clip from Dead Ringers. Smile

People tend to forget now that Edmonds was a very good radio presenter - I never really took to him on TV.

I loved hearing Noel on the radio too, but sadly, he's probably best-remembered now for Deal or No Deal,  Noel's Crinkly Bottom and the godawful Mr. Blobby. Confused

Next up is Galaxy-Lin, a little-known and short-lived Crossover Prog band with a Shocking Blue connection - both bands were founded by multi-talented guitarist and singer/songwriter Robbie van Leeuwen, so it's a band founded on good solid credentials with the added bonus of a simply sensational saxophonist. Thumbs Up

Gamma: a little-known Dutch band about which little is known, but memorable for having a very strange singer. Wacko

Gamma have very wisely decided to drop their singer for this second and final album of instrumental Jazz-Rock. Smile

Coming soon.....

The Golden Earrings (as they were originally known) are probably best-known in England for their one and only hit single "Radar Love", but they're more than one-hit wonders across Europe as they've been around now for well over half a century with a string of thirty Top 10 singles in The Netherlands, as well as 25 studio albums to their credit. Amazingly, Golden Earring have had the same line-up from 1970 up until 2021 when the band broke up due to ill health.

If you ever wondered what a Dutch version of The Beatles would sound like (no, me neither), they sound just like this. Smile

A double-helping of Golden Earring with their first double album and their last album released under the plural "Golden Earrings" before dropping the letter "s" from their bandname.

Golden Earring's  Nederbeat years are over... A slight change of name and a new harder-edged sound announces the arrival of their best album so far, including an outstanding 19-minute-long cover version of The Byrds classic song...
