DonnyTJS Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Excuse my ignorance, who is he? Graham Parker and the Rumour. R n B / pub rock group from the '70s - I'd've seen them in 1978, I think. Influential at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Parker essentially came around in the mid '70s and was thrown in with members of the greatest pub rock bands in the country. It's been argued that his success led to the blossoming of the punk and new wave movements. Howlin' Wind, Heat Treatment and Squeezing Out Sparks saw him mentioned in the same tones as Springsteen and Dylan - Sparks especially is often mentioned in the 100 greatest albums ever lists. Springsteen has commented that Parker is the only artist he would pay to go see. He's much better, imo, than the man he paved the way for, Elvis Costello, but he refused to be bowed by record companies and they in turn refused to promote him leading to the scathing 'Mercury Poisoning'. From the 1980s he recorded on minor labels and produced some great, if often uneven albums i.e. Mona Lisa's Sister. His lyrics are at times incredible, often filled with biting comments that led to him being called the Angry Young Man of British rock. Take the first lines of the song below: Crimson autographs, are what we leave behind Everywhere, a man sets foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
