Music is all interrelated; much like people from rural Lincolnshire.
If you're a bit geeky about music like what I is, then you might well see music as a series of interconnected circles with name tags on. Well, if you do (and if that's the case then I recommend checking into the nearest psychiatric assessment unit) then musicplasma will make you feel oddly normal.
It raids the Amazon databases and presents music as an "if you liked this, then..." kind of map that is almost hypnotic to watch. Hard to describe, easier to play with. Go on, then: what are you waiting for? GO!

Bleh! Disgraceful! No Jeff Lynne or ELO (Electric Light Orchestra for all you young 'uns), and even worse they seem to think that Ringo Star was a member of the Travelling Wilburys (and not a mention of Bob Dylan being a member either). Pffft! Tosh I tell you!
(interesting idea though)

Jeff Lynne's omission was revenge for fashioning such a desperately inappropriate drum sound for Ringo Starr on Free As A Bird. Listen to Free... and then Rain (the flip-side to Paperback Writer - I just did). The comparison is telling.
As for Jeff Lynne, I did find him. Linked to "built a whole career around ripping off the I Am The Walrus string charts", I do believe. :P
Remind me to wear my tin hat when I go out in future.
(For a more sympatico view, read this.)
Indeed he did, but he also did it 'live' and what a sight to behold (in the aural as well as visual sense).
There was a large degree of homage in his work, but then there are a lot more artists who have tried it and been largely unsucessful. I'm just gutted that we'll probably never get to hear the infamous "Beatles Forever".
The problem with ELO was Jeff's stranglehold on the creative process, whilst being tied in to a record deal that he didn't want to fulfil (please don't make me listen to Silent Messages again!).
As for the FAAB track, getting the Beatles to play together was like getting Pink Floyd together. The fact that he'd worked with George Harrison before caused much consternation, particularly when it came to Jeff putting in the slide-guitar solo at the end. I seem to remember it was only Sir Martin's regard for Jeff's work that kept the project on the rails during that period. (Incidently they all came out agreeing that it was the best choice afterwards, even Macca)
I'm loathe to judge the drums till I hear the original tape. Remember John's notoriety for falling out of time? I'll compare it to Rain when you bring me a copy to listen to ;)
