1975 Down by the Jetty - Dr Feelgood
I was 15 in 1975 and mainly into Heavy Rock/Heavy Metal.
I also tried to find bands just a bit different. Didn’t realise what was to come in 1976. But this made a good start 👍

I’ll explain this one, it’s not my usual choice of music 😂 (By 1976 I was getting into punk).
I was 14 in 1974 and was influenced by my older brother music wise.
This album was played a lot.
Genesis wasn’t the same after Gabriel left.

Robin Trower - Live!
I discovered this album in the late 80’s. He’s become one of my guitar heroes. He was my first radio interview in 2011. His drummer, Pete Thompson (80’s & 2000’s) is a great friend. Pete recorded theme song for my podcast.
