I'll Take Mine Deluxe, Please...

I'm more than a bit of a pop-rock junkie. Much as I dislike pigeon-holeing music into genres, my collection bulges with guitar licks and vocal impressarios much more so than classical or jazz or country. That said, time to share. Not one post on Mog as of yet for Be Bop Deluxe. Fronted by guitar virtuoso Bill Nelson, these guys blazed a searing path through mid-seventies pre-power-pop. Gorgeuos chords, dramatic and complex harmony and melody that challeged Brits best. Through 6 lps, they continued to explore increasingly obscure and minimalist arrangements. Bill Nelson went on to release many solo projects of varied musical styles. But back to the roots - if you like your, uh, classic rock sound with a dash of futurist seasoning, give these guys a try! Here's one of their best from "Modern Music"
