The shock headline actually is...Francis Rossi thinks Naga is clever and wonderful.
Francis has perfected the Wallace (Wallace & Grommet) grin.
He had been given a long list of tracks to ponder on and filter down. Though a few tracks are ones I have seen on some of his previous Top Ten type shows, Asia's 'Heat Of The Moment' for example. He had a thing about Roxette at one time I remember. I see Graham Bonnet's 'Night Games' made the grade, a track he co-produced with John Eden.

Even having a special Live album recorded in Tokyo, they only played there two tours in the 70s and three shows in '97...Not so much, they played more in the USA without success.

What a headline. Pathetic, innit? The thing is, it's designed to get people's attention; to get them to read it and indirectly access all those bl00dy adverts all over the place. It did with us! So I guess it does what it's designed to do. Like Robert Palmer's video I didn't see it this morning. Sis sent me an e-mail saying it was on but I looked at it too late. But this has helped. He's all over the place at the minute. I presume it's to push the AAA book, although I've never actually seen him mention it yet so I'm not sure. Ta for the link, though, curiousgirl . Saved me trawling through iPlayer Which I hate I caught part of his bit on the Steve Wright Show - don't remember him promoting a book. He was promoting a cd of his favourite songs and said some of his choices would surprise people, he said Quo were on'y doing 3 (I think) shows this year but will be touring this year and that he will be doing dates of his A Chat with........ he said something about the format but I wasn't totally listening - Radio 2 is my "colleague" when working - thankfully usually only catch the last wee bit of Zoe Ball, disagree with Jeremy Vine (don't think he hears me) - upside is I usually go and get lunch, manage through Steve Wright.

Yeah, I've only just found out about this CD thing. Fathers Day coming up so that's what that's all about. Sticks out a mile - as these things do. Between the autobiography, the talk tour, the AAA book and now this CD, I do wonder what the rest of the band are doing for an income Yes, 'the band'. Remember them?

I'm sure that the younger band members have other projects they are pursuing. While the older ones are enjoying semi-retirement and keeping busy.

it was just a bit of tongue in cheek nothing serious. I expect they all have been doing various side things during the last year.

He has Second Breakfast! He's a Hobbit! I had a thing about Roxette then too, I thought Quo ought to sound more like them, they had a good sound and Quo had gone floppy.
PS I thought Wallace learned the Grin off Francis!

Hahaha Robert Plant has a song called "Big Log" You don't know that song? It's a great, haunting ballad.

i'm sure most of those songs are on every greatest rock hits albums That is what irks me. Is there anybody out there who can still listen to "Eye of the Tiger" or "Africa"? Never mind that I couldn't ever listen to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" or "Poison" to begin with. The only inspired choices IMHO: Robert Palmer - "Addicted To Love" - yes, a big hit but for me it hasn't lost its attractiveness, maybe because radio over here plays it far less than the other tracks John Mellencamp - "Hurt So Good" Far Corporation - "Stairway To Heaven" - overproduced and not a patch on the original but still a bit leftfield Thin Lizzy - "Killer On The Loose" Big Country - "In A Big Country" Black Sabbath - "The Mob Rules" Rush - "The Spirit Of Radio" Gary Moore & Phil Lynott - "Out In The Fields" The Who - "You Better You Bet" Motley Crue - "Girls, Girls, Girls" Saxon - "747 (Strangers In The Night)" Skid Row - "18 And Life" Poison - "Every Rose Has It’s Thorn" David Lee Roth - "Just Like Paradise" Slade - "Run Runaway" Rainbow - "I Surrender" Heart - "These Dreams" Robert Plant - "Big Log" Snowy White - "Bird Of Paradise" Graham Bonnet - "Night Games" George Thorogood - "Bad To The Bone" Those are the songs I've either not heard that often on the radio or I can still listen to. Also WTF
