799081 2009-08-07 09:06:00 I've just been listening to some old music, and wondered which of these three bands you like the best:

The Who
Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Or... Other

Grr... I tried to make a poll for this but something stuffed up.

Too bad, too sad... PressF1 craps out as usual.

799082 2009-08-07 09:15:00 Can't stand the Beatles, Regularly play The Who and The Stones. Metla (12)
799083 2009-08-07 09:18:00 Sorry, none of those. My preference was Johhny Dankworth & Ted Heath, amongst similar others. PJ Poppa John (284)

799085 2009-08-07 09:29:00 Beatles fine, Stones yuck. Don't know anything about the WHO - who are they?
None compare to Geraldo, Jack Parnell, Joe Loss, Victor Sylvestor (Ok he was a bit square!), Ted Heath and probably the best of the bunch the American whose name escapes me just now but is known for Chattanooga Choo Choo and lots more. Of course advancing age has effected my memory and my choice may seem odd - but at least it was music and their singers were a strange breed - not only could they actually sing but you could easily make out the words of the songs.
Ah Lita Rosa where are you now?

Glenn Miller for the Chattanooga Choo Choo I think.

I got out some Mantovani today.

And again not UK but Herb Alpert was good too.

799088 2009-08-07 10:02:00 Of course Sweep is quite right, those "bands??" can't be called old :)

Now these are a bit oldish... Ambrose and his Orchestra in 1932

I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan (www.jazz-on-line.com)

Or, Billy Cotton and his Band in 1931
