Fans of the superb "mockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap will chortle at this 1990s British take on the theme, which has ageing rockers Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Stephen Rea and Bill Nighy (along with roadie Billy Connolly) reforming successful 1970s group Strange Fruit to go on the road one more time. There are all the clashing egos, old grudges and bad rock numbers you'd expect, plus a deft script from comedy writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, but the true plaudits should go to the performance of Nighy (as the narcissistic lead singer) and the strangely moving cameo from Bruce Robinson (writer/director of Withnail & I).

If you are pushing ELP as your prosecution against Prog, it won't wash coz they woz w*nk....as the OGWT film amply showed! If you want an even worse example, check out David Bedford. Simply awful. I never recovered from being exposed to 2 days solid of a Bedford LP playing on repeat in a locked room across the corridor in Uni hall...the owner had left it playing whilst he chased his tail in another part of hall.

And you can't beat the amphetamine rush of punk. This used to be a fave of mine http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3Er9gt...eature=related

Which I think proves my arguement!!

Chelsea - a trifle lumpenpunk, but each to their own

Genesis - see above

Focus - have it on the i-pod - shame about the voice ( a danger-sign for prog) - and if we're going Dutch how about

I have a strong suspicion that Strange Fruit are heavily based on Golden Earring! Radar Love! One of the best 70's tracks. Thanks for that.

And I hope you watched to the end - where the drummer leaps over his kit - classic rock moment!
