It was going to get posted sooner or later..

I really could get used to this blogging lark.... how long will this fad last though?

Greetings traveller!

I would say about 2 to 3 years ago, my musical appreciation took a massive turn (some say for the worse) as I became more interested in the bands and artists that have had influence over the bands and artists of today.

I had remembered an old friend of mine playing me the attached song absolutely ages ago and thinking it was the coolest piece of music ever written, but after, I never really bothered listening to anything else by him. Then as I say, a couple of years later, I began to get retrospective with my musical tastes so I began properly listening to this guys stuff.

In terms of songwriting, he has to be one of the greatest of all time. He has such influence, he was cited as one of the inspirations behind the grunge movement in the late 80's (ROCK FACT: Kurt Cobain quoted his Lyrics in his suicide note)

If you don't know who I am talking about you are in for a real treat.
