Superb choice, it was on my shortlist for the initial playlist.

“Last Christmas” is one of the best Xmas songs. I don’t like to hear Xmas songs outside of December but it is worthy of inclusion.

Pretty much anything from BITU is a great choice. “Between the Wheels” is a one of the best on Grace… If memory serves, it was one of the highlights of their 2007 tour.

Difficult start and a bit chaotic after they scored but lots of good stuff and another step in the right direction.

Phil seems to have decided to incorporate Gundog’s game into his now that Ilkay has gone: Philip Walter GunFoden. Sensational finishes tonight, he made them look so easy. Fantastic all round performance.

Thank you :)

Didn’t we have that on last year’s playlist; not that it bothers me to have it on ‘84: one of my top 3 Minds’ tracks.

Thanks. Nice choices. Gregg Guiffria is one of my favourite keyboard players.

Thank you.

Can't recall the specifics but in my expereince, most of his solos were short, aside from his solo set piece. Anyway, people that go to see VH were usually there in some part to see Eddie solo, it was expected. I mean, he was one of the greatest guitar players; I have never seen anyone better...

Thanks. I do think you should pick some songs for the playlist but if you don't, I'll transfer your quota to me :-) I agree about Bruce, no one has matched such levels of productivity and quality. I have not bought his big release of old stuff from earlier this year because I think it is...

Please make sure your additions (artist / title) to the playlist are in bold type.

1984 - PART 2 The final chapter Conclusion: Immortal riffs, unending echoes Looking back 1984 was not Orwell’s nightmare; so why does it loom so large in pop’s rear-view mirror? Surely it is more than just nostalgia. Artists were not merely responding to the zeitgeist - they were making it...

“Someday they won't let you, now you must agree The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV Beware the savage lure Of 1984 They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air And tell that you're 80, but brother, you...
