Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - More than Come Up and See Me!

The late Steve Harley was most famous for his 1975 hit Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me), but there’s much more to the story than one good single. We look at the band’s early albums and Steve Harley's career around and after that single and the band's break up. As usual, Mick says their early stuff is way better than their later stuff! Our Album you Must Listen to Before You Die is “Tres Hombres”, ZZ Top’s 1973 album containing the huge hit “La Grange”. Regular listeners might guess what we thought of the album, but let’s not spoil the surprise! We also look at Louder magazine’s recent poll where their readers voted for Genesis’ 10 best-ever songs. Spoiler alert: Only 2 of the selected songs are post-Peter Gabriel. For those interested, we covered Genesis in Series 2, Episode 15, and Peter Gabriel in Series 2, Episode 14 There’s plenty here you may not have known. Enjoy!
