I always thought the cover of Animals was a dystopian painting ā ļø

OMG I JUST REALISED THAT YOU MISSED A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO RICKROLL US! The music video was filmed around Freston Rd
-
My wife and i will be visiting London in May. Thanks for the video, we'll be sure to check these places out.
-
3:10 the sudden emotional response to seeing that building I can't satisfactorily describe.
-
Iām from the US but when I was 19 I went to the UK and visited almost all these places (especially the Pink Floyd ones, I was obsessed with them)
-
I've never been in UK but however funny, naive or innocent it would sound I feel like I love everything about it
-
Another location you could mention 304 Holloway Road. This was the recording studio / home owned by Joe meek . Where the first us number 1 by a British band was recorded telstar by the tordos as well as John Leyton's "Johnny Remember Me" and the Honeycombs' "Have I the Right?"Ā as well as where screaming lord such of the monster raving loney party recorded music. Also joe meek turned down the beatles
-
Fantastic David. Please do a part 2, adding the famous clubs where bands got their start. I am planning a London trip just to see these locations.
-
I'm an Expat living in Cali, brings back a lot of memories of work and play. Thanks
-
It's not as much a historic location, but one must visit music location in London for me is the vault underneath the Hard Rock Cafe shop. It containes many legendary musical artefacts, like guitars from Hendrix and Les Paul or John Lennons glasses. Just a recommendation for any fellow music nerd visiting London
-
Olympic Studios in Barnes is another place to visit. Tons of albums were recorded there. Now it is a great restaurant and cinema.
-
Not to forget number fifty-seven Wimpole Street, where Paul Mcartney was living with Jane Asher when he wrote the song yesterday.
-
On Euston Road there is the former home of Capital Radio where songs including Bohemian Rhapsody and Never Gonna Give You Up were first played. Capital is now based in 30 Leicester Square along with every other commercial station in the UK as far as I can tell.
-
I stumbled across the Bob Marley house on Oakley Street while walking back from Battersea station :) Was a nice find.
-
The timing couldn't be more perfect for me. I'm about to go visit the UK from Mexico in a few weeks :D
-
If I ever go to the UK, which is one my dreams, I'll definitely go to these places. Thanks David lml
-
4:28 I can't help but think of the Holy Hand Grenade when I hear this. Any Worms fans about?
-
Great video! I only missed some Kinks-related locations though, like Waterloo Bridge/Station, Archway Tavern or the Clissold Arms, right in front of the Davies family home. By the way, they have a song called Denmark Street!
-
Grantham station gents toilet! Damon albarn was inspired to write charmless man by some graffiti he saw in the gents loo!!
-
Thanks David. A couple that pop up are Headley Grange (Led Zeppelin) and Ringo Starr's old house where Judas Priest recorded British Steel. Maybe some of the old clubs - The Cavern, UFO, La Chasse when Jon Anderson and Chris Squire or Yes met.
