Rob W 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) "Completely ruled the 70s, and without him the following 4 decades will have sounded very different" You know I don't think so - influential up to a point in the early 70's but after that...... Punk, N Soul, Dance, Disco, Reggae, Grunge etc weren't influenced by him at all In fact he hasn't been around for best part of 25+ years Even in his Aladdin Sane days he was very much a minority interest Edited January 16, 2016 by Rob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do sympathise with you................. we had hip hop, the birth of acid house and the thousand sub genres of electronica it spawned, and some pretty decent guitar music along the way, so it hasn't been all bad.

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Speaking of Hang onto Yourself, it used a synth that went on to be commonly used in reggae once the rhythm side of things there became automated. Can't remember the name but I'll dig it out. There he is again, not influencing reggae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 You know, in the autumn of my days as a poor pensioner, I no longer get excited by the abuse served up on here I get up late, wander down to the pub and buy a drink... and before sipping it I thinlk " who paid for this?" And then I think "Alex!- he's been kind enough to sweat away in some call centre paying tax & NI just so I can enjoy myself........" and so I toast the young shaver - long may he last!! And of course there's the warm feeling that there'll be no one around to pay for his pension when he gets to 85...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 having seen the new Star Wars movie I feel this board needs a Yoda-like figure to spread wisdom amongst the young and to stop their inevitable drift to the Dark Side I elect myself as no-one else has the wit or wisdom to be allowed a vote Just off for a swift half at lunchtime which I think will be bought by Monkey's Fist today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
