Gotta stick a link up to that sublime track, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTPMtj4buTY

Who were those school friends who slagged Bolan off by saying "All his songs sound the same."


Yeah, there were lots of them weren't there? Mind you, I guess it was the age when, to quote the cliche, every album had to have the obligatory reggae number. I don't blame The Beatles for much but I do blame them for everyone thinking that their albums had to be diverse in material. I guess punk addressed that!

Going off on a tangent I remember Lloyd Cole saying he blamed Bowie for trying to make each album sound different to the previous one and that he'd realised that whilst it worked for Bowie it didn't necessarily work for him and he wasn't gonna worry about that anymore. Or summat like that anyway!!
