What
are your top five favorite albums of all time, and for each one
why?
Trapeze "You are the music, we're just
the band" One
of the finest bands ever. Heavy metal funk, indeed! Mel Galley
- R.I.P.
Humble Pie “Humble Pie” (Beardsley b&w cover).
Just one of the best sounding albums I ever heard. My all-time
favorite band. Steve Marriott - R.I.P.
Led
Zeppelin 1. A life changing experience. John Bonham - R.I.P.
James Gang “‘yer album”. This one showed me
what music from the US could be.
Tower
Of Power “Back to Oakland”. Top shelf.
What's
the proudest moment in your life/career, and why?
The proudest moment in my career was 1971
when the first record I did came out in Europe. What a rush to
see and hear that. It was just a single, but it was quite a feeling.
I was 16 years old.
What's the best gig you've ever seen, and what made it so?
Best
gig I ever saw was Humble Pie at the Fillmore East 1971. They
opened their set with “Money, That’s What I Want”.
I lost my mind. The whole roof of the Fillmore just blew off.
Unbelievable.

(a) the 60s - Beatles
