Listening to this for the first time, I am struck how my Elton John, Queen and disco pre-teen pre-punk junior high self was as entirely immersed in what gay culture made it to Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia AM radio. It does make one want to revisit the discography from Captain Fantastic... and back.
Interesting to compare the similar trajectories yet quite distinct 70s nostalgia choices of these folk, The Darkness and Franz Ferdinand.

The sisters rock, good to see them get their at the brit awards last month.

You, youth that you are, should be diving into 1970 to 1975 Brit rock. T-Rex. Start with T-Rex.

Yes of course. But the Sisters are quite good in their own right. Without their cover version of Comfortably Numb, I swear I'd require full-blown psychiatric intervention for my mid-life crisis. Much more expensive, and doubtlessly much less fun.

I was wondering who some of this is reminding of: Gino Vanelli circa 1984.

Start with T-Rex, move onto a little Faces perhaps? New York Dolls later on?

Skip the Faces. This project focuses on pre-Berlin Bowie, early Elton John that sort of thing. Piano rock.
