He's huge!

Representing the ladies is Connie Francis - Lipstick on Your Collar and Brenda Lee - Rockin Around The Christmas Tree

Ocean Rain - Echo & The Bunnymen Silver starts in classic 80's fashion - "You're living proof at my fingertips" is delivered in such a quintessentially 80's way before the rest of the album hits its stride as a Doors cover band. Not that they sound like the Doors but they sound very much Doors...

One definition I saw that I didn't like is that pop music is designed to sell records as opposed to 'proper' music which is art. I also saw a definition that described pop as jazz without the 7th chords or simply as music that isn't jazz or classical.

Keep identity politics out of politics

You normally do it yourself. Wait until the scores have been tallied by Rob though

Bart Bacharach?

I'm not sure either

Good stuff @threespires Where would you consider someone like Bing Crosby in this era? He was once considered the King of Pop and was incredibly famous around the world. Actually can't remember if he was on the jazz playlist? A song like Swinging on a Star might not be an immediate pop style...

Just watched this discussion between two YouTube intellectuals - Alex O'Conner and Destiny. Although it was filmed before the election Destiny does highlight some of the issues raised by @FogBlueInSanFran about democrats having to sink as low as the republicans. He sees that there is no...

Pep has ruined the careers of every manager coming to replace him at City. No one else is matching his achievements and everyone else will be judged by them. We need a huge reset in expectations and what success means.

Looks like something Liam Neeson might have been the lead in a decade ago.

The Charlatans are a more swampy southern (USA) roots rock band than Oasis to me. I don't know what the official genre is called. The guitar tone and the way it's played plus the organ sounds make it quite distinct in this era I think - like I said in my review they are a proper grown up band. I...

English Teacher tonight at the Ritz. If anyone else is there I'll be the old man crying to Broken Biscuits

Ha I feel very unqualified to comment. I do like the earlier stuff you've posted as opposed to the Nashville sound later stuff. The earlier work feels more real because it lacks the polish of the Reeves and Cline stuff. It sounds better but is less appealing It's not super relevant to the...

Well this explains the long face

Tellin' Stories - The Charlatans Despite their name the Charlatans are legit. You listen to them and they just scream elite band material. Every player is great and although Tim Burgess gets mixed reviews I think he's got the perfect voice to give this an air of authenticity. If he was a...
