[MsRuth02]

EVAN THOUGH I LIKED THE ROLLERS SO MUCH I STILL LIKED BOLAN  AND STILL DO

[TheEctomorph]

@MsRuth02 You have good taste in music, Ruth. That is crystal clear, so it is!

[ClubViking63]

@TheEctomorph But Bolan was so much better than these boys.

[MsRuth02]

B-A-Y B-A-Y B-A-Y C-I-T-Y WITH AN R-O-DOUBLE LL-E-R-S BAY CITY ROLLERS ARE THE BEST , in those days they were called pop groups now they would have been called boy bands ,prefer them to be called pop group

[athole1954]

most arsenal fans are faggots, its in the firstfour letters

[athole1954]

they turned out to be a bunch of faggots&child molesters

[Arsenal52100]

@athole1954 sounds like your jealous you repressed mummys boy

[eduardoisland]

We used to maturely change the lyrics from Shang-a-Lang to 'Shag-a-Slag'.

My God we were inventive and hilarious back in the day.

[irishbyheartbs93]

i'm 18 and i've been raised listening to amazing music like this :D i love anything from the 40's onward music wise <3

[SCinh04]

I remember this from high school days. You can't beat 70's music.

[MrRockerjo]

Shite back then and sounds even more like shite now :)

[skemite]

@MrRockerjo awww how sad! hahahah you missed out on something good! don't knock those of us that didn't :-)

[reddragondr]

I loved these guys in concert. Had a blast.

[ooohcheese]

Shit! I was a T.Rex hippy :0) But had to wear clothes with tartan , becauause it's all that was in the shops. BCR. were absolutly huge. My sister loved 'em , I was into Bolan and it wasn't cool to like what your brothers and sisters liked. OH Shit! I'm 14 again. Hi sis. thanks for plucking my eyebrows, (just incase she reads this comm.) I'm old. Hah! Peace out. Cheesy.

[TheEctomorph]

@ooohcheese Personally, I like the music of The Bay City Rollers AND T. Rex. Both groups were hugely popular 'teenybopper' sensations in the 1970's ... although not at the same time. T. Rex's popularity peaked in 1971/72 ...... whereas 'Rollermania' reached its height some 3 years later - in 1974/75.

By the time the Rollers had established themselves as the biggest and most popular 'teenybopper' band in Great Britain, the popularity of Marc Bolan & T. Rex was very much on the wane.

[TheEctomorph]

@ooohcheese [Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about The Bay City Rollers and T. Rex]: Edinburgh.

Marc Bolan (God rest his soul) was an immensely talented man, and in the opinion of many knowledgeable pop/rock pundits and historians, he invented glam rock.

As I said in one of my previous posts, I like the music of T. Rex AND The Bay City Rollers. Both groups made a string of excellent singles - and indeed albums - in the 1970's.

[superpop7jp]

ﾀｰﾀﾝｽﾀｲﾙ前後の映像ですね。彼らの人気は二十歳過ぎた頃­から、大人への路線へとなります。日本だったら、平気でアイドル­でいられるのに、精神的に子供なんでしょうね。

下手すると、３０代にも女の子が騒ぐお国柄は、洋楽的には、日本­はうらやましい国ですね。

[angeladarlin]

Hey I had me oxford bags,my trendy check trousers...hey.....

[ooohcheese]

@angeladarlin Oxford Bags......shit! Don't forget Loafers and Kipper shoes. Lumberjack Benshermans. 2 tone stay press The BBC and other so called fashioniters havn't got a clue. Some bugger help me I'm Supposed to be a biker ! :0). I'm shutting up now . Cheesy.

[shuchr]

tam paton was there manager he was a nasty kiddie feeler and when he died i hoped he would burn in hell he was a fat evil faggot

[congo451963]

[toby8stores]

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

SHANG-A-LANG! (BANG! BANG! BANG!)

SHANG-A-LANG! (BANG! BANG! BANG!)

SHANG-A-LANG! (YEAH!)

SHANG-A-LANG! SHANG-A-LANG! SHANG-A-LANG! (WOW!)

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

I liked this band from Scotland...only thing is I didn't think it was appropriate that they'd be seen wearing kilts as a pop band...a punk band perhaps. All in all, they dressed fairly sharp, in most cases suited in white slacks, which can turn anybody's head around if worn snug, on the right fella...and the Bay City Rollers fit that description, but I have to wonder if they were all straight up & narrow. It's alot easier to live the life you were meant to take on..I only wish I cold have.THX

[cafe9802]

@Ezdduf4kuZ yes they dressed in an appealing manner, I was a fan of theirs as I was to all Disco music. My fav by them was rock and roll love letter, followed by saturday night, all great dance music...only kc & the sunshine band topped them, but the majority of disco followers with disagree with my opinion as there was kool & the gang, spinners & barry white. Anyway Ezssuf.., their all straight on until proven otherwise, keep your chin up!

[minesavino09]

pmsl wahhhhhhhhh love it!!

[BuzArmstrong]

Sensational, the guys came to see me when I was in hospital in 1974. You can keep the modern (screeming) music

[PAULLONDEN]

[SQTS]

Bay City Rollers are awesome, my favorite is "saturday night"

#S A T U R D A Y, S A T U R D A Y.........

The inro is obviously the best part!!

Way back when music was REAL, unlike now all the songs written now will never be great or never be as great as the 50's through to the mid 90's. Then music died, well music doesnt die it just gets a little dusty....

[azisdabest]

[Nickthetoast]

Wasn't the drummer a paedophile? Or was it their manager- or both? Christ, they were all at it!

[jennilu123]
