Reasons the Sex Pistols split
1. Tension between McLaren and Lydon.
2. Lydon's increasing frustration, culminating in his departure.
3. Losing Glen, the meldic ying to Lydon's charismatic yang.
4. Sid's (and to a lesser extent Steve's) rock 'n' roll lifestyle and lack of focus.
5. F**king Brexit.

Terrible mismatch, wasn't his fault.
Cherrone was quite a dynamic singer when he was in Extreme. On the VH album he does sound more like Sammy Hagar (which I never liked as the singer of VH)...an asthmatic moose. What happened? Maybe it's the distinctive songwriting that has this effect on the performance, I don't know.

Goosebumps....
I'm not over fond of Brian Ferry's vocal style but it seems to work with Roxy Music.
Remake Remodel
Elvis' 'Are you lonesome tonight?' It's not bad, but in the spoken part he doesn't develop the theatre analogy enough. More, please.
Rediscovering an unknown, unsuccessful band called Beatles.
I'm in the minority as usual, but I never got the excitement around Sgt Pepper. People go on about it as the first concept album but it isn't - apart from the artwork and Reprise there's no common thread linking the tracks, like Tommy or The Wall. John himself (not Ringo) later said he didn't make concept LPs ('If you want a show, go and see a show').
Also, the individual songs are not their best. There are a few masterpieces (Lucy, Day in Life, Leaving Home), but... Are Fixing a Hole and Getting Better Paul's magna opera? Lovely Rita and 64 are unbearably twee, while Mr Kite is probably my least favourite Lennon ever. Even George's contribution is snoozesome, hence the laughter to relieve it at the end.
I'm not being deliberately contrary - most bands would sandblast their retinas to be this good - but it amazes me it's repeatedly listed as not only the best Beatles moment, but the best album of all time. Give me 'Revolver', 'The Beatles' or 'Abbey Road' any day. And I say that with all due respect to the Spice Girls.
I like sgt pepper but yeah it's very overrated
Concept album? - is it balls
Would have been better too if they had included penny lane and strawberry fields
Wasn't it the first album that had the lyrics printed on the sleeve?
Rubber soul and revolver are definitely better
Oh and 'leaving home' is tedious and mind bendingly dull!
