Even morbid curiosity couldn't make me search for Bernard Bresslaw's "Mad Passionate Love"!
Yet the Charlatans still feels fresh and relevant whereas Buddy Holly and Cliff Richard very much sound from a different era. There was a huge change in sounds through the 50s, 60s and 70s. Whereas a lot of music over the last 40 years (80s pop excepted) has endured and not changed much. Maybe that’s because it’s good, or maybe we’ve become dull and predictable. Or maybe I’m talking balls. Maybe it’s just a personal thing, and tunes you know never grow old.

Exactly.
Things you can directly relate to and all that.
I saw the Charlatans at the UEA in the early 90s and dragged a few mates along. There was a Norwich girl I wanted to see who I'd arranged to meet with. Romance didn't blossom but we're still friends to this day and it was a good night too.
I still have a couple of their CDs knocking about as it goes. Cracking band.

Move It is a fricken great record! A landmark in British music, with that and Johnny Kidd’s ‘Shakin’ all over’ actually being authentic rock n roll records coming out of UK. As an aside, I was on a flight to NY in September 95’, The Charlatans being on board in Economy. I got talking to the manager, Steve Harrison, we had some old mutual acquaintances via the early 80’scooter scene, and Martin Blunt, formerly of Mod band Makin’ Time. Anyway, ass you’ll remember you could move around the planes quite freely back then, so after our chats I went back to my seat. In between that and landing, I think the lads indulged in something powdery, and on landing NYPD boarded, cuffed them and hauled them off! No phone camera. In those days, we all just laughed about it and off we went.Never ever saw it reported!

I often muse on the fact that my kids often dance to the same music that i did 40+ years ago. Crazy.. I’d never have danced to the music my parents did. I mean, Queen, ABBA, etc are just timeless.

Exactly. We’ve lived through a massive and rapid change in technology, but Kate Bush and Abba still hit the charts. What’s that all about? As kids we weren’t moshing out to Perry Como, Judy Garland and Brenda Lee. Rock and metal bands from the 70s are still able to fill stadiums and have loads of younger fans.
It’s a shame the indi scene that produced the likes of the Charlatans and Stone Roses died off a bit though. There were some cracking bands in the 90s which should have stayed at the top longer.

Some of those cracking bands are still putting good stuff out and on fantastic form at gigs. Having seen both The Charlatans and James again in the last year, they were both utterly brilliant, as I imagine many others are too.
