UNCREDITED[edit]

If you follow that "DPRP" link near the bottom, you'll see that much of the language in this article is stolen wholesale from that site - i.e., PLAGIARIZED. Pretty lame. Use your own words, please. 2fs (talk) 06:02, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some mention should be given to different tone of the first album. The relentless downbeat darkness is such a contrast to most rock, certainly the rock supergroups. --166.84.254.33 (talk) 01:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bruford or UK, which was the first?[edit]

The article states, "Following two lengthy American tours (June-October 1978), first Holdsworth and then Bruford departed U.K. over musical differences, going on to form the jazz rock fusion group Bruford." However, the UK album was released in 1978, while Bill Bruford's website states that Bruford's first album, Feels Good to Me, was released in 1977. That would suggest that in time of Bruford's and Holdsworth's departure from U.K., the band Bruford would have been formed already. Anybody can straighten it out?--Krótki (talk) 17:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Bruford was started after he and Holdsworth left U.K.
I asked John Wetton on his message board if he can provide a photo of the band. I don't know when he'll respond. I could use a promo shot and say that I had no choice because they split up three decades ago. Sposato (talk) 00:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feels Good to Me was released as a Bill Bruford solo album. Then he did U.K., then he formed Bruford as a distinct band. Bondegezou (talk) 09:48, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Odd time signatures?[edit]

7/4 may be an "odd" time signature in the world of mainstream pop but, as regards prog rock and jazz, it's almost normal! Anyone brought up on 70s prog will be perfectly at home with 7/4, 5/4, 9/8, 11/8 etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkRae (talk • contribs) 09:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Odd" as used here does not mean "unusual". It means that the "numerator" is an odd number (5, 7, 11, etc.)Carnamagos (talk) 17:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

UK or U.K.?[edit]

The article is called "UK (band)", but the text refers to them as "U.K.". Then there's the article about their first album called "U.K. (album)" which refers to the band as "UK". Does it have periods or not? We really need some consistency here. tk tk tk 01:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does. See branding. I've had the page moved. Regards, Rob984 (talk) 22:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
