A great track from a great album by a great band

Never had a great love for Wishbone Ash. Bought "Pilgrimage" as it was always playing in the 6th form Common Room when I was at school, and "Argus" because of "Blowing Free", but only rated them as average

The quality of their albums was inconsistent, for me their best albums are the 1st, Argus, There’s the Rub, Front Page News and No Smoke Without Fire. Argus is easily their best.

Spot on - they were very inconsistent

I might remove Front Page News from the greats and place the debut and There’s the Rub almost on a par with Argus

Pilgrimage has a couple or three excellent tracks - Jail Bait and Vas Dis. However, whatever were they thinking with the live track - Where Were You Tomorrow - it's awful




NP

This is a corker of an album - a real return to form

I agree with their 3 best albums. Was playing Wishbone Four earlier and it's a frustratingly inconsistent affair although it does contain a couple of corkers

Yes. Four was a major disappointment

Volume 2 is very good too and takes some decent tracks of Four etc

What can I say? I was looking for something different that might surprise me.... I do like Come Sail Away but I didn’t find much of interest here. Well, like anything really.

Proper music - listen to the bass and tubs!

Unfortunately, I can't see the top album (?) but War Child and Fearless are awesome albums

Good call lad!

Yes, good call

The top one is "Mr Mick" by Stackridge. Always felt "War Child" got unfair criticism

New from Norway and very good too.

Appears to have started out as a solo project but ended up collaborative. Wobbler and Airbag are in there.

Caligonaut - Magnified as Giants

Another new album from Norway and this is excellent, featuring one of my favourite vocalists of the era, Eirikur Hauksson of Magic Pie.

Kerrs Pink - Presence of Life

Highly recommended - make of that what you will. :D

Goad - La Belle Dame

New from Italy. Not so keen on this one - it does have some really good parts but the overly dramatic and raspy voice is probably a bit of an acquired taste which didn’t really appeal.

Have a feeling I saw Stackridge as a support to someone, they obviously made no worthy impression, if so, but two out of three here are more than worthy.
