Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it so I could tell you to turn the subtitles on for my pick 😅. It hits differently with the lyrics on screen

Looking at that list I'm looking forward to listening! I did go straight to Wilco...that's my favourite song of theirs, full of atmosphere, lovely lyrics, and THAT guitar solo. You should definitely check out Wilco's back catalogue, there's a lot of it! Their live album "Kicking Television" would be a good starting point. It catches the band at a peak, after an amazing series of albums...I'm sure they were pretty much the best live band on the planet at the time. Not too many bands with a long career behind them are still as active and prolific as Tweedy's boys, they tour every year, and make an album with similar regularity. Much more diversity in their recent albums, and Jeff's solo material is really good as well. Worst checking out a project Jeff was involved in called 7 Worlds Collide - with Neil and Tim Finn, Johnny Marr, Phil Selway, Jonny Greenwood, Lisa Germano, Eddie Vedder. Two albums of really cool covers and original music.

I was 20 years old 24 July 1976, Cardiff Castle, Status Quo Strawbs, Curved Air, Hawkwind and Budgie went out and bought their first album what an eclectic mix of music

On 7 May 1964, a gaggle of excited passengers alighted on to a rainy disused railway station platform in south Manchester and took their seats for a "massively culturally significant" gig. The gig was born out of the Blues and Gospel Tour, which was touring Europe for a second year running, having made its debut in 1963. what many people don't know is that a minibus came from London to that 1963 show and in it were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards and Brian Jones. They came all that way just to watch the concert. The line-up was the stuff of musical legend - alongside Muddy Waters and Tharpe were Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Cousin Joe, Otis Spann and the Reverend Gary Davis. something like 10 million TV viewers tuned in at home. The list of musicians who have said that the show influenced them is staggering. "Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones... the list goes on. You have to remember that Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy, Sister Rosetta - they were icons to us." the TV show was also important because "the images that we were getting from America on TV at the time were the civil rights marches, where people were being attacked with hoses and clubs". "This show allowed us to see living witnesses to that struggle." The differences were not lost on the artists themselves either, as they "were amused that they didn't have to sit in different restaurants and travel in different coaches on the trains over here". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-27256401

Hi, watching this I realise I misled Doug when I said London Grammar dont have a drummer; in fact their keyboard player on this piece plays physical and/or electronic drums and percussion on other songs. They also have some funky electronic boxes for effects (for better or worse says this old guy). Sorry about that, the hearing aint wot it wos.
