Of those listed I put John McLaughlin for various (subjective) reasons and because I met him once and he was a really nice bloke. Also, when it comes to Hawkwind, I much prefer Huw Lloyd-Langton.

For whatever reason, you're misunderstanding my point. I'm not sure why you're raising the issue of human rights as I was specifically talking about the nurturing of nationalism and China's human...

Brainwashed? Maybe so but, at the same time, I can't think of another word that quite describes a society that has gone through two Red Scares and still lives in the shadow of McCarthyism; the...

Ha, here lies the rub. It seems America can spread and promote its own "political ideology" not to mention its 'economic ideology' throughout the world but it's wrong for anyone else? Can't it be...

This point is something that's often lost on many of the Americans I've known on international boards that touch on politics. They've been at a loss as to why non-Americans take an often critical...

I'm not sure how that's relevant. I'm not claiming to be an authority on American 'culture' or know more about America than Americans. You're confusing two separate issues here. Whilst I may not know...

I don't see the problem here. There's no hypocrisy on my part and there certainly would be hypocrisy if I 'pissed on America' and expounded something positive about "Merry Ol' England" at the same...

My take on nationalism is that too often it crosses a line.

I think it's one thing to have pride in a very selective perception of something as arbitrary as the circumstances of your birth but...

Ah! My second favourite album recorded at Klooks Kleek! It's even got Mayall's cover of Katie Melua's song, 'Crawling Up a Hill' on it!

Not my favourite John Mayall album by any means but there's...

Erm, that's not quite true is it? Whilst I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, I think there were only a couple of tunes recorded during the time that Sgt Pepper was being recorded that turned up...

Personally, I have similar feelings about the 'White Album' as I do Sgt Pepper. I think it's a good album but I genuinely can't understand the praise it gets. I'm in agreement with our crazy-haired...

I think it's probably more of a lump hammer than the insightful rapier that I'd rather it been. I won't ever write anything as long as that again here, I promise!

Mine is too but I don't know whether things have changed with CD issues and so on. However, I just can't see how "lounge" can refer to anything else but "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now". It's been a...

Wasn't that the 7" version? If memory serves, that came first and the album came later. If tgpo is talking about 'Give Me Convenience or...'s' version of 'California Uber Alles' then "remaking their...

I can't speak for anyone else but I rate the first half of 'Give Me Convenience...' as much as any of the studio albums. The early b-sides were fantastic songs and, as a kid, I played those songs as...

A few of the tracks on Sgt Pepper have a love or hate ‘sponsored by Marmite’ quality to them, and quite often these are the misty-eyed nostalgia pieces. However, it’s not...
