@XMartinsMusicX The Cult, Sonic Temple.

@allrockmusic When the Levee Breaks. But my real favourite is Going to California, followed by When the Levee Breaks.

@CathyYoung63 @Brandon93Smith Counterpoint: 'Allo 'Allo.

@exquizitely I have finished Rick Dangerous 2! But it really wasn't like others - it was much more about building your memory of the timing and the traps.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@exquizitely Played it in the UK on the Amiga. I think at this distance I can admit it was a pirate copy from my German pen friend. Great multiplayer game - but the sadness of watching your ship go down...

@ThatEricAlper The GOAT. https://t.co/cMpZrmEA1u

@ThatEricAlper There's nothing between this house and the Urals, you know.

@onb3thnlgrn And pre-ww2 too, with Wigan's own George Formby.

@SquatterMadras @JazRignall Huge fan of this one for everything. So comfortable.

@KyoAlexiel @BoundingComics Valhalla gets the Sutton Hoo burial date wrong by a couple of centuries. It has Anglo-Saxons singing a late 20th century pop song. Noone complained about it, as far as I know.

@PKC1963 @PhilScribe @GenTXer2 It's all personal taste of course, but that moment in Good Times, Bad Times where the whole band pauses before Jimmy's solo starts - that's an all time great for me.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@Loudwire Slight tangent: England's preeminent rock conceptualists have been named on their album covers as "Pink Floyd," "The Pink Floyd," and "Pinkfloyd".

@JazRignall @woodg31 OK, the tech stuff is good, but we really need the Adam Ant article.

@AndyH_3D @JazRignall @woodg31 As I recall, it had a very good prediction of email - the only failure being that the email was printed out rather than read on screen. Still visionary though!

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@madtownalum @punt_rd +1 to this. And a few other Zeppelin ones, like When the Levee Breaks.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@ThatEricAlper Electric Avenue is a street rather than an area - the first major street to have electric lights. It's in Brixton, as you mention.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@ZackAttackP1 Big Star's Third. A great record? Yep. Better than the glistening, beautiful, joyful-but-still-sad #1 Record? I don't see it.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@Davidoro48 @ZackAttackP1 I was listening to Keep It Warm when I saw this post. Easily my favourite track from a pretty messy record - the only track where both Sabbath and Gillan sound at home.

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@Hepworthclare True, but I suspect there's a performative aspect to some of it. I've never heard an American disparaging My Country, 'Tis of Thee.

For what it's worth, I'd go for Land of Hope and Glory, but I'm sure someone will tell me it's a massive downer 😀

[Joe Marshall @DrJoeMarshall]

@Hepworthclare I don't like the monarch worship (although there are lovely alternative versions), but I don't understand the claim that it's a bad tune (not in your tweet, but recurring in the comments). It's a memorable, stirring song, as evidenced by its use for varying purposes worldwide.
