bagerap Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Love Aretha and was lucky enough to see her live three times, but Prince Buster takes the crown on this track: 1 Quote

Madness Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) If you have a spare 45 minutes, listen to this. If you don't have a spare 45 minutes, you shouldn't be collecting coins! Takes me back to 1992, when I heard it for the first time as an 18 year old. I lived on a rural property and must have been the only one at home. Midnight on a balmy summer's evening. Sitting on the doorstep with Prokofiev blasting out. What a revelation that was. Edited August 27, 2018 by Madness Quote
Michael-Roo Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I love Bowie's early work. The Deram/Anthony Newley years, much underrated. He was guilty of knocking out one or two absolute stinkers during that period though. How about this demo. He never bothered to develop the song further himself (thank god) but, astonishingly, it was picked up and recorded by a group called Oscar, fronted by Paul 'Dancing With The Captain' Nicholas. 1 Quote

To think.. Reaction was the home of Cream and The Who. 1 Quote
Peckris 2 Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Hadn't heard either of those. I quite enjoyed Jane's Addiction, especially the more quiet melodic passages. Can't say I like the Smashing Pumpkins - perhaps I'm too old now for grunk, punge, or whatever term applies to the unholy marriage of punk and grunge. 1 Quote
Madness Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Two songs about rats. As strange as it sounds, Michael Jackson and Mozart share the experience of having been exploited prodigies. 1 Quote
Madness Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I can't help but think that David Gilmour is singing this song to me and about me, particularly the first verse. I love it, but it makes me sad. Edited September 16, 2018 by Madness Quote

Madness Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Both clips are examples of artists "crossing over": A rock musician singing folk and an Early Music ensemble performing 70's pop. I find these performances moving. Quote
Peckris 2 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Three tracks from possibly the most underrated band of all time: Rock, jazz, ballads - they had it all. Plus the litiginously failed original riff to Stairway To Heaven? Edited September 29, 2018 by Peckris 2 1 Quote
Madness Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) @Peckris 2 There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold....

They lost that case, hope they didn't also lose a heap of legal costs. Quote
