Favourite Artists Track 342 - Man - nominated by Grimmy, Voting

[Spacepig]

OK so, let's hope that this round gets a bit more attention than the last one. At least the nominator for this one is still with us.

Welsh rockers Man are up next, courtesy of Grimmy.

Same rules as ever, noms close 10 pm Sunday night, post a link, blah, blah, blah.

Superb band with loads of songs to pick from, so let's try and have a good one.

Heheheh! Yeh...Blah blah indeed! Even I'm struggling to come up with something original to say in my OP's! lol! :)

My entire knowledge of this band comes from the Half Man Half Biscuit song A Shropshire Lad. A far better listen imho!

I prefer their earliest late '60's psyche days, so I'm going to go (aptly) back to the beginning with the intro track from their first album Revelations:

After Sussex:

Scotch Corner

Blown Away
And In The Beginning

Very similar to the final track off the same album, The Future Hides Its Face.

There seems to be something wrong with the audio on Many Are Called But Few Get Up. There's another equally (well maybe not so) good version here:

sorry grimmy! it's a pass for me. i started to listen to the playlist but something told me to stop listening to the playlist. which i did. my relief was tangible! the same something told me not to listen to any more of the playlist. who am i to argue! :)

[theDuke]

Opps sorry folks....I hope once my vision is improve after the op...I won't make these 'mini faux pas!'

[Grimmy]

Been out of action for a while (since mid Nov) and on heavy meds, so apologies for not participating. Thanks be to Lez for bringing me back to 'life'. And thanks to those of you who nommed - I didn't think the Man band were going to generate masses of interest. Some interesting choices. If I'd been around I would have nommed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrnz_...
if anyone is remotely interested. And its a shame the 1983 live at the Marquee version of Spunk Rock was not up, as its even better than the version here (Tech would love it).
So anyway

Welcome back Grimmy. I hope you're feeling much improved (it wasn't the horrible flu that has laid low Blastro, Lez and Suzy's family?) Hope those meds worked - sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

[Spacepig]

Bit of a mixed reaction to this one, personally I think they are probably the best thing to ever come out of Wales, looks like not everyone agrees.

This week's winner, Lez, with Bananas. Followed closely by Brass Neck with Many Are Called But Few Get Up, and squeezing on to the 3rd place spot, Spacepig and Val with Spunk Rock and Scotch Corner.

Nice to see Grimmy back in, hot whisky and lemon will soon sort out those man flu blues, if you drink enough of it.
