Comment:

A kind of flip side to my Prog mix. At the same time that my mates & I were pondering the perceived profundities of Pete Sinfield's lyrics & debating whether the moog or the melotron represented the future of rock, across the landing, my sister and her friends were listening to stuff like this. Oh how we sneered! All these years on, I gain as much if not more pleasure from "mindless bubble-gum" as I do from the collected works of messers Fripp, Waters, Anderson (Ian and Jon) & the rest. A lesson well-worth heeding I think.

Criteria for inclusion: I genuinely love it (goes without saying) & none of the artists should have been deemed hip enough to have been included in the 1975 NME Encyclopaedia of Rock -just to show I wasn't alone in my clueless arrogance.

Plenty o' guilty greats here, my friend, particularly the Edison Lighthouse, Jigsaw and Marmalade picks...

Number 18 is an interesting alternate selection. I thought the band was a one hit wonder. Same thing with Marmalade, although they "had" to be a one hit wonder.....I thought. When the director's cut comes out, throw in Ma Belle Ami. This is the stuff of what Paul McCartney called a Saturday Lay In.

A brilliant "It's not hip and I don't care!" collection

Hey, this is my kind of mix. The 1975 NME Encyclopaedia of Rock doesn't know squat!
