I saw Prince during his 21 show residency at the O2 in 2007.

I saw a show in the same residency. On the night I was there he pulled Elton John out of the stageside VIP tables for a couple of numbers together on the stage. Am I still allowed to mention Elton John being treated in this way, do you think?

As long as he only pulled him out and not 'off', I think you're fine.

Well... if we're looking for albums that are 40 yrs old this year, 76 was a seminal year for reggae

I guess there may have been a punk album or two around the same time....

Reggae. Life is simply too ****ing short imo.

You might be right. After all, you need to have some time spare to paint your bedroom peach and black.

Yes, I've heard a couple, but I've never been a fan of podcasts as a format. I like my info in text I can skim.

Look mate, you like UB40 - we get it. There's no need to bang on about it, though.

I'm not particularly enamoured of UB40, though some of their earlier stuff was ok.

Of course, if reggae for you is "UB40" then I can see why you might think life was too short for it.

First Ramones album was in 76. The Damned released the single New Rose in 76 but the first album in 77.

Neil Sedaka's seminal 'Steppin' Out' was released in 1976.
