Fax v Fev music tastes eh - right thread!!! I don't mind going off topic on this one bit!

Being 50 my tastes reflect that era. I have many old friends and close relatives so I go from the mid-60's blues lot right through to now. Tho it has to be said there isn't that much recent stuff in my collection.
All the classic rock from my teens founded the basis of my youthful tastes - but I really got off on that "Madchester" scene with the Stone Roses et al (Blackpool 89' - I know it's cool to say "I was there", but I was)- and I quite enjoyed all that "Brit-pop" lot that followed!
Musac and rugby eh!! Get in.

yeh,sad end for Felix - I had a mate who was drummer in a West Coast band in the late 60s/early 70s and used to tell me all about the 'scene' in LA & Greenwich Village etc - really interesting stuff !
did (original) Mountain ever come to the UK ?

I pretty much haven't heard of a single one of these bands. I feel young again!

What was the news-type magazine program that used Nantucket Sleigh Ride as its signature tune? Was it World In Action?

Sorry TS it was "Weekend World" produced by London Weekend TV 1985/6

The World in Action theme was a tune is called "Jam for World in Action" and is by Jonathon Weston


World in Action graphics I am reliably told was Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man

Ah, I remember it now. WIA did indeed use DaVinci's Vitruvian Man. I knew there was a 'World' in there somewhere.
