I'm thinking Parisienne walkways.

[Dricky]

Mr Hendricks
Rory Gallagher
A another

[The Sheliban]

Not really into Guitar heroes, but, in ascending order:-

3] Mick Jones -"You're my Guitar Hero"

2] Steve Jones - Now, that was a Wall of Sound

1] Wilko Johnson

One of the first gigs I ever attended was Dr Feelgood around 74 / 75. I was up the front and it was a life-changing experience. Wilko was manic, twirling around the stage like a mad yoke. A most unusual style too - he'd hit the strings rather than strumming them.

No' a lo' of peepil know tha'.

Of the guitar based bands playing guitar riff music, I must say Steely Dan came up with a few great songs, like Haitian Divorce and Bhodisatva.

So c'mon then, tell us the name of the manufactured boy band he was in who had a number 1 hit before all of the above !

Cobain? Really? Wrote some nice riffs but technically he was mediocre at best. Nirvana were good but over-rated in my less than humble opinion. I'd rate Cobain as a lyricist ('Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you') more than I would as a six-stringer.

So who played Parisienne Walkways?

[The Sheliban]

Slik were supposed to be the answer to the Rollers.
I think the song was "Forever and Ever"
How Midge ever lived it down, I don't know.

They should, of course, have had a no. 1 with "Vienna" but I think something horrific like Joe Dolce's Music Theatre "Shaddap Ya Face" kept them at no. 2 in one of the greatest crimes in music history.

That was a classic Conor.

You gadda no respect.
I think maybe you should just shaddupa your face.
