That very much depends, but both peaked in 1987. How scary is that!

Well, my top ten are submitted and as usual on this thread I’ve discovered something new. I spent the last few days exploring one of these artists’ catalog and found it really strong. Looking forward to finding out who submitted the song that led me to said exploration. Loved a few, but liked nearly all of these, though one was an infuriating rip-off of another band and another made me sad. Well done to all and happy holidays!

I hope you didn't deem the Extreme song a VH rip-off. Nuno was paying tribute to Eddie and dedicates the album to Eddie and writes about how much of an inspiration EVH was in his sleeve notes.

I don't think there is any harm in telling us what that artist/song was and generally talking abkut songs liked or disliked, don't think that gives anything away.

VH can’t be ripped off unless a DLR clone is singing too. As noted in many previous posts, he was just as important to the band as EVH IMO which is why save for “Right Now” they were kinda shite after DLR was replaced with Hagar.I hope you didn't deem the Extreme song a VH rip-off.

The Maggie Rogers song is very poppy but avoids most of the excesses of current pop production so it's lightweight but enjoyable. More interestingly she apparently experiences synesthesia which I've always thought was fascinating. I knew someone for whom taste and colour were integrated; in her case it seems she 'hears' colours.

I can say it was not number one on my list of favo(u)rites. Where it was or whether it made the list or whether I was allowed to put it on the list at all I shall not say.The first non lover of the Extreme song looks like being me.

My nephew experiences synesthesia. He sees numbers in colo(u)r, which (apparently) allows him to be brilliantly fast at math(s) calculations. He's loony smart; studying Slavic languages and political history at Berkeley. Obvioulsy must be my sister's husband's genetics; can't have come from my side of the family!The Maggie Rogers song is very poppy but avoids most of the excesses of current pop production so it's lightweight but enjoyable.

Think that's Grapheme, the most common form? Does he see letters in colour too or only numbers?

I think this is the thread's best playlist to date!
Nae Country pish, thank fuck. A few rockier heavier bits up my street. A couple current of things. The softer is nice and some indie stuff I haven't heard of before. Even a taylor swift song (or one that sounds exactly like her). But mostly, nae Country pish!
I thought restricting it might have seen it be a bit limited, but imo it has worked quite well.

The Gritterman (Original Score) by Orlando Weeks is playing again here today for a timely nod to the day and season. No cold or snow present, but the story and music warms the heart today. Angels Singing on that song. Much appreciated again, @Coatigan.
Best to you all, hopefully with safe travels with friends and family for the holiday season.
