It's been a loooong time coming, but Tom Jones' record (No pun intended, well, maybe a little) for the longest period between number one albums has finally been smashed. After a hiatus from the heady heights of nearly forty years, Bob Dylan now claims the title, perhaps it's because he's spent most of that time being toasted out of his mind.
Personally, I'm not a massive Dylan fan, or a Tom Jones one either, although I can respect each for the incredible talents they do have. Personally I seem to enjoy Dylan when someone does a remake of his work, like Hendrix's version of "All along the Watchtower", The Animals version of "House of the rising sun", and William Shatner's version of "Mr. Tambourine man", although that last one is for all the wrong reasons.
Now, an unusual anomaly for you:
Tom Jones
Bob Dylan
Spot the similarities? They're both 3 letters, then 5 letters in their name (cvc cvcvc). Like those that structured their name on Page, Plant, the late Bonzo, and JPJ, be prepared to see a the following soon, in an attempt to sponge up the mojo, and repeat the performance of their inspiration. Should those planets align, perhaps they can be 50 years between #1s, just eat your fibre to have daily #2s. Any way, that prediction...
Tom Jones
Bob Dylan
