it is!

It is fun, but they're missing too much to make it truly amusing. I can get some of those links quicker myself using albums not in the list.

very!

We were unable to find a unique match for "abba".

haha. they only seem to have two pulp albums as well. does nu-ilx allow for embedded image linking like myspazz does? the site has a handy button to allow for such a thing. let me try:

argh!!! MODS!

i would pay cash money for DVDs of bbc 2's 'rock family trees' shows.

― stevie, Friday, 20 April 2007 13:29 (eighteen years ago)

Were they based on Pete Frame's work?

four years pass...

I'm wanting to put 'rock family trees' together for a few bands/scenes/whatever that I like, but they all have relatively complicated amounts of intermingling, which I'm struggling to draw out in any kind of aesthetically pleasing or informative way.

I'm looking for inspiration from previously drawn examples or suggestions on how might be good to lay such things out.

The problems I'm hitting are with groups of the same people being in multiple bands in various combinations at the same time, e.g. people v, w, x, y, z are in Band A but x, y, z are also in Band B at the same time, repeated multiple times in different combinations, if you get what I mean...

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I really like Peter Frame's ones (perhaps this could be a given), of course, and some of his do cover complicated musical scenes, but I can't find one that deals with quite the same incestuous issues of people being in multiple bands at the same time, so if anyone spots or knows of one of his that does, then please point it out to me.

nine months pass...

Krakow -- 9 months late, but I just came across this and it seems for fit the bill of "people being in multiple bands at the same time"

three weeks pass...

Thanks city worker. I'm pretty much endlessly interested in seeing these, even for musical worlds that I know nothing about. I've still not moved on with my own sketches. Maybe eventually.

has anyone read pete frame's book, the restless generation: how rock music changed the face of 1950s britain (rogan house, 2007)?
