Rolf Harris painted Queen.

Watch out Scotch, Aggie will be calling you silly

I'm okay with it. I've been called worse. Often.





















frequently ridiculed git

The Who's Pete Townsend created Thunderclap Newman and then produced and played bass on Something in the air

A graayyyttt track to start off the show

BTW this track could have qualified for revolution night (it was originally called "Revolution" but had to change because of the Beatles song of the same name), for rip it up night (Townsend smashed a whole lot of guitars on stage) and deeper meaning night (it was about youngsters getting fed up with the hippy flower power scene)

I commend this tae the hoose

It didn't have to. There is no copyright on song titles.












pedantic git

no danger of this getting played - only, I'm sure, because the supporting artiste doesn't feature on the vocals. He's an important feature of the video, though....

David Bowie has a soft spot for Trent Reznor. I'm Afraid Of Americans
TR's the crazy, hairy USA maddie cabbie in the video. And also a highly accomplished singer/ songwriter in his own right. Even if you don't like industrial rock. There's much more to him than that.

Played with Iggy Pop, produced / backed Echo & the Bunnymen and L A band X!

I give you Acid Rocks Ray Manzarek!


Break on through ~ T. Doors

Benmont Tench co-wrote with Carlene Carter and played on her version of 'Unbreakable Heart' from the album 'Little Love Letters'.

Wreckless Eric's Rough Kids

Produced by Nick Lowe, featured Ian Dury & Russell Hardy.



Keep it STIFF!

Sorry Roxy but Brian Eno has got to get a producers mentioned also...


Be Stiff ~ DEVO

Nick Lowe produced Graham Parker's first few albums. Dave Edmunds played on 'Back To School Days' from the first album...and also sang that Parker composition on his album 'Get It'. Rockpile covered Parker's 'Crawling From The Wreckage'. Nick Lowe 'borrowed' Graham Parker and the Rumour's drummer to record 'So It Goes' for the newly-formed Stiff Records.

Crawling From The Wreckage - Rockpile
Back To School Days' - Graham Parker
So It Goes - Nick Lowe

I knew you'd come in with G P, JfE LOL!

there's us all at it again, jockeying for premier position. The bloggers have an advantage - maybe because they bother to blog in advance, so ..... (it's no great secret - the place is here for everyone. Get it in. Or whatever the show could have been called) To be honest, thoroughly enjoyed the texters'/ emailers'/ facebookers' suggestions tonight. Brilliant show.
Did I mention that Trent Reznor helped David Bowie? Not one for movie awards, but apparently the Facebook thingy filmscore did OK. Nothing new under the sun, nae doubt.

thanks a lot for deacon blue.
seriously, it's over 20 years since i last heard that.
it was iain anderson that played it (once)..........luckily we used to record his programmes on tape...........then go for walks on deserted beaches listening on the wee yellow sony walkman........and a few times i would walk, in the dead of night to the nearby church and listen to that song............if you think it sounded amazing on the radio just think what it sounds like on a remote scottish island in a remote isolated church that looks a bit like iona abbey with the only other sound the unrelenting wind (and the dog scraping at the church door wanting to get in).....i'll be there next week.....minus the children but still with that haunting song that's never left my head (and different dog).......take me to the place...

and so if you ever did have a campaign for a statue then one that would get my vote would be the one that had ross sitting at his piano with a gorbals tyke, elbow perched on the piano ball under arm smiling at ross.......and marzaroli, camera in hand photgraphing the pair...........and every year on the birthday of marzaroli there would be a public foto fest round the statue while that song played gently.


billy preston..............singing his own song.........thats the way god planned it.

cheers frae the dale

>8-D

Mark Knopfler played on the "Slow Train Coming" album, not my favourite and haven't heard it in years but there were a couple of decent tracks on it, my choice would be...

Precious Angel - Bob Dylan

#20

If you like Abide With Me you can hear it at any funeral.

A couple come to mind straight off...

Mick Jagger lending backing vocals on Carly Simons 'Your So Vain'

and Billy Bragg writing the extra verses for Kirsty MacColl when she recorded her version of 'New England':

My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite your fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay

Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you

A top mast stripper...

Marc Bolan - guitar on Bowie's The Prettiest Star (original single version)

I dread to ask.... but what happened to the children and dog No.1 in that lonely graveyard?

* Stone Roses - Elephant Man Produced by Peter Hook
* Billy Bragg - The Boy Done Good Johnny Marr's guitar skills on show
* Billy Bragg - Greetings to the New Brunette Also Johnny Marr Guitar
* Fran Healy - As It Comes That's Paul McCartney on the bass
and as Norrie pointed out yesterday
* Patti Smith - Gloria was produced by John Cale

#16

*Plenty* of Eno production credits.

Also let's recognise T Bone Burnett, for (in particular) producing 3 of the best movies for music in recent years:
* Buena Vista Social Club
* (with Gillian Welch)
* Walk The Line

but you can add a to those.

As a representative of all that, can we have
* The Soggy Bottom Boys - Man of Constant Sorrow
* Buena Vista Social Club - Dos Gardenias

Tom Baxter wrote the song 'Almost There', allowed Shirley Bassey to record it for her 'Performance' album and accompanied her on guitar when she sang it in a superb performance at the 大象传媒 Electric Proms. Bpoth of their versions would be well worth an airing on GIO.

Bpoth??? I mean that either of the versions would be worth playing.

I wouldn't know - I've been to more funerals than football matches.

If it's limited to "stars" we're in for the usual boring evening

Phil Manzanera was spo impressed by Roxy's support band Split Enz on their 1975 Australian tour that he produced their album. In 77'/78' former Split Enz brothers Neil and Tim Finn were broke in UK and Phil decided to hire them for 2 of his solo albums so they could get the fare together to get back to Australia-shire. They then of course went on to form Crowded House.

Phil has played on and produced loads of albums for other artists including Dave Gilmour's last album.

Andy Mackay has played on loads of other peoples albums too:
Mott - 1973 (with Mott The Hoople), Slow Dazzle - 1975 Island (with John Cale),Tug Of War - 1982 Parlophone (with Paul McCartney), Pipes Of Peace - 1983 Parlophone (with Paul McCartney),Please - 1986 (with Pet Shop Boys), Islands - 1987 (with Mike Oldfield)
to name a few.

Bryan Ferry played the moothie on Chris Spedding's album 'Click Clack', dueted with Jane Birkin and also Chalrles Aznavour

Paul Thompson played drums on an Angelic Upstarts album and also toured with the late Gary Moore.

And as previoulsy mentioned elsewhere, Brian Eno has produced a few album for the likes of U2, Coldplay to name a few.

#48 I think by "stars" they mean people who are on the GIO authorised playlist.

Mair Johnny Marr

"Home and Dry" - Pet Shop Boys

and

Mark Knopfler on

"King's Call" - Phil Lynott

#50

"Link Throb overdubbed finger cymbal on the dance mix of Johnny Hormone's hit single 'Hear I Bruv Bling Innit' "

Bryan Ferry's 'The Right Stuff' began as an instrumental called 'Money Changes Everything' written by Johnny Marr for The Smiths. The track was the b-side to The Smiths single 'Big Mouth Strikes Again'. Johnny sent a tape of the track to Bryan while he was working on his Bete Noire album in 1987. Bryan wrote lyrics for the track and recorded the song with Johnny Marr guesting on guitar.
