42-“..Cliff v Elvis? ..now that’s the question..”

from The Grumpy Cyclist Talks Music · host The Grumpy Cyclist

Cliff Richard v’s Elvis Presley?That was the debate Rob brought up — apparently our mums had a full-on rivalry back in the day over who was better! And that little comment is exactly what led into this week’s episode…I had a brilliant chat with Rob, who genuinely believes (like MANY do!) that 1990/91 was the moment the UK musical landscape changed for the better — the dance explosion, the rise of the Manchester scene, the birth of grunge, and then of course the Britpop era.Rob looks back on those years of his “youth” with real fondness.Hearing him talk about seeing his favourite band Oasis in LA earlier this year was fantastic… and listening to him gush about the artists he loves — Radiohead, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue (yes, you read that right!) — was a real treat.A fascinating insight into Rob’s musical journey, full of memories, surprises and proper passion for music.
