Average White Band compilation. "Work to do", "Nothing you can do" and "You got it" are wonderful examples of blue-eyed soul.

I'm a big fan of A.W.B. I saw them live, at a club in Liverpool, about 12 years ago. This is my favourite song of their's:

Whenever I think of A.W.B., I'm always reminded of an episode of Room 101, in which Nick Hancock was making a joke about bands that were really, really bad, and he used A.W.B. as an example. Then again, he proved he knows nothing about music, when I saw him on a music show, about 10 years ago, and he was asked who was the better group, out of The Beatles and Oasis - and he couldn't decide!! Ben Elton, who is a massive Beatles fan, was also on the show, and I remember, when he was asked the same question, he just smiled, and asked them if they were being serious.
