Okay- I get the digest version of this list to avoid confusion when mail is being downloaded (it's a long story!)

Beatles - Monkees - Dylan - Ramones - Lovin' Spoonful - Donovan - Huey Lewis - Osmonds - Slade - stacks of sixties and seventies stuff, very little modern stuff. Thanks for the welcomes! Yes! I did ignore Robyn (I'm hanging my head in shame) but I didn't know who he was at the time. All I remember is the bloke who eventually became my boyfriend following him around with a stack of CDs to sign and adding people to what seemed to be a never ending guest list. I have had a further encounter, also in Liverpool. We went to see him at the Lomax and he made his way through the audience to get backstage before the gig, shoving me out of the way in the process. Now I could brag and say that I've been on stage with him - but it doesn't count when it was just that I was *sat* on the stage in Camden while he was performing! >If you're new, you probably have not heard of the lovely snd >talented Debbie Flosshylde.

In fact I couldn't quibble with the results, a very respectable selection indeed (I also chose Spinal Tap and Vertigo amongst my ten, so am feeling mighty pleased with myself). Thanks Eddie for running the poll. I'm off back to London mid-July for a couple of weeks, so plan to catch our man at the Twelve Bar, maybe even twice...I saw him there Summer of '95, great but tiny venue. Andy was playing, Mr Kershaw was in the crowd, Robyn blinked a lot and was great. I was waiting at the entrance when he arrived - has anyone remarked that he is truly the Man Mountain (and I'm six foot)? Maybe he was wearing heels.

Someone posted in passing that there is something about Robyn Hitchcock in this CD, so since I had it here on hand, I checked it out and sure enough it's true. It says that James O'Barr, the creator of The Crow was more influenced by music than other comic artists. Specifically, he names Iggy Popp and Peter Murphy, but also: "Other over influences found in the original graphic novel include chapter titles taken from Joy Division songs, quotes from songs by the Cure and Robyn Hitchcock, and Symbolist poems by Rimbaud and Baudelair." and on and on. It sounds very interesting. I wonder what the quote is from Robyn? gosh aren't I posting a lot i will go away! beautiful day in Brooklyn, the projects are gleaming in the distance (yo) lj ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Jun 1997 17:22:23 -0400 From: mrrunion@tng.net (Runion, Michael R.)

Ah yes, I suppose that is a mitigating factor. On the other hand, he has had his blood reworked so many times that he has probably drained a blood supply the size of Canada (if not Canada's itself), which is nothing to laugh or sneeze at. Of course he proceeded to play a show that night as well. And I suppose he got some sort of payback for that by getting suckerpunched by Chuck Berry on film.
