Rick Ramdeen

A husband, a father, a runner (21.1K), and a Rock 'n' Roll star in my own mind 🇵🇸🇱🇧

@SVG__Collection Got this when it came out on cassette, I was 15. I used to carry around one of the tapes in my jacket/coat, so that I was in someone’s car I could play it and extol the virtues of his music to anyone in earshot lol! I didn’t have a Walkman.

@jasonguriel This is brilliant! Can’t wait to read the thing.

@dovesmusicblog First saw an acoustic performance of Caught by the River on Canadian TV and was blown away. Bought the record and then blown away on just how perfect this record is. Musically, sonically, lyrically this record is unmatched. This is my go-to record. I never tire of it.

@strombo This is a perfect record. Nothing could be added or taken away to make it better. Desert island record, no skips, one of my all-time Top 10.

@SalvadorDafti For me, this is greatest live album ever. Like you and others have said, it’s also the finest document of what R’n’R is all about. Arrogance, bravado, sexual tension, pure abandon, soul - this album is just everything! JLL works the crowd like a preacher.

@ThatEricAlper Paul Weller - his output into his 50’s and now 60’s is of consistent high quality.

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

The baddest! Bo Diddley is everything!

[𝙱𝚘𝚋𝚋𝚢’𝚜 𝙷𝚎𝚎𝚕 @SalvadorDafti]

Bo Diddley - Road Runner

Big Bad Bo tearing it up at the London Rock and Roll Show for a 35,000 crowd made up of bopping Teddy Boys, Rockers and a whole lot of Brylcreem.

Wembley Stadium. 1972.

@allrockmusic Stevie Ray Vaughan, and it’s not even close.

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@CraigHKing @allrockmusic The only correct answer! It wasn’t even a full set, but it was better than anything that came after it.

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@jasonguriel Done! Can’t wait to read this, mate.

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@jasonguriel @VehiculePress This is the good stuff! Can’t wait!

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@SalvadorDafti I Am I Be is one of the greatest songs ever written. The arrangement, the production, the use of the samples, Pos’s and Dave’s verses are top tier. Note that I didn’t just say Hip Hop songs, it’s up there with any song that’s been composed.

I absolutely love this cartoon with all my heart. It never fails to make me cackle with laughter 😆

Remember Pecos?

@jasonguriel You damn right, you need a drink 🥃 Congratulations!

@historyrock_ No Abbey Road? No Dark Side. As I see it, DS is an extrapolation of AR to the nth degree. DS was recorded in the same studio, using many of the same instruments, using the same engineers and staff from AR. DS filled the void of the Beatles breaking up, but it’s not better.

@SVG__Collection Stand! - Sly and the Family Stone

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@namshine @TheAgenda @tvo My son recently began working for Zoomer but didn’t understand why he’s so important (aside from being the big boss). I had to break it down for him. The New Music, CityLimits, Much, TV Frames, CityPulse, The Originals. My worldview is richer cos of his legacy. Everyone’s is.

@turnitup211off The perfect Side A. This album is a masterpiece.

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@ThatEricAlper Paul Weller

[Rick Ramdeen @rickramdeen]

@GregFitzShow Paul Weller comes to mind. His solo career is so much better than the Jam and Style Council.
