Elton John

[Honza]

You never hear tracks by some of the 60's and 70's bands, but hear loads of track by others from the same era. It is a mystery. Who remembers 10cc? They were huge in their day, but have vanished into obscurity. The Who never seem to get played either. There are others which are totally overlooked these days.

On the music channels on Freeview they play obscurer bands from the 60s&70s as some of the programs were a mixed bag, there are other channels to if memory serves eg BBC3&4 and RedButton plus a Sky channel besides the music channels that play concerts and festivals, in fact months back when at my sisters I saw The Who were on for some hours in concert on one of the channels.

Podshell... Yes they do, Ive seen some of those channels with long forgotten bands/ artists.

Honza, it's true, we had SO many great bands in the 60's and 70's .
Referring back to what Pod said , if you have a Freeview box, sky arts on channel 36 show loads of great concerts in the evening and into to early hours. ( Not everyday but a lot ).
It used to be channel 11 but they recently moved it to 36, so it's always worth a scroll across the guide bar.

But back to Elton John, and I asked husband if he remembered "live like horses" and he didn't so I played him it and he loved it , he couldn't understand why it wasn't a massive hit .
Like Pod, he likes Sacrifice and I know one of my sons loves 'your song' .
I also liked 'circle of life '.

Sacrifice is a beautiful song. I also like the song dedicated to Princess Diane... Candle in the Wind.

And there's Nikita, which is a funny song!

AB-I notice Coldplay have been on at Glatonbury that should be on TV at some stage.
