Regarding some earlier comments about Kevin Ayers' musicianship - see this clip "Kevin Ayers Interview 2008". At 3.20 he talks about how technically he was not as good a musician as some of the people that he played with, so he had to find other ways of interesting them in playing with him. He acted as a catalyst, he said. What he modestly did not mention of course was that he also wrote some very good songs!

interesting version, although I still prefer the Soft Machine version somewhat more.

Led Zeppelin or Purples

Kevin Ayers talent is not always present or obvious, but the breadth of work he's been involved in is astonishing. Definitely a Hendrix influence, old school pop, Caribbean and Latin themes. Not always a marvelous singer and certainly not instrument player, but the talent is in the way he works within his limitations to achieve a discography almost unrivaled in scope.
Hillage is marvelous on this take. Sounds like a clip from a different song though. Cutaway at 4:46?

Let's put this silliness to rest, please. Kevin Ayers a "bad player"? He was in The Soft Machine. Alright? This was a band that was not exactly taking in musicians randomly, or as a favor management.
You are picked by the Softs --> You have it.
Next, please.

why do people feel the need to argue on every youtube video?? This makes the human race look like crap. Listen to the song, the lyrics are cool, stop pushing your opinions, it's a lost cause.
