Already on The Blues playlist

Just nominate what you want, and it's in. "Be Bop a Lula" added.

Yeah, didn't see the point in labouring this one. Everybody knows what's rock & roll and what isn't. Good choice - one of many that were on my list and didn't make the cut.

Blue Moon Rock Evolution – Rock & Roll Introduction Rock & roll (or rock ‘n’ roll) was the original starting point when I first came up with the idea for this thread. For some reason, I always had it in my head that “Rock Around The Clock” by Bill Haley & The Comets was the first rock & roll...

Thanks to @threespires for the pop write-up and thanks to everybody who suggested a song or two for what is an eclectic playlist. Everything from Noel Coward to Al Bowlly, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Lonnie Donegan, Vera Lynn, Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. I'll be back later today with the final...

Fair point. Not quite the two-footed lunge that expressing an appreciation for The Smiths might represent, so I'll settle for a stern look across the crowded midfield with the shared knowledge that next time he won't be so lucky.

Yellow card! I could be nasty and void this vote as it falls outside the permitted range, but I'll assume it's a 10.

The reverse Roger Bannister!

What’s that then?

Yes, I think this thread will get even better as we move through the 60s. I've certainly not contributed much to this week's subject. I appreciate that there are a lot of good songs on here and most are very listenable, but the art of singing to a backing is not high on my music loves. I think...

Yes, I've said it before that the number of very good songs that they've put on compilation album is incredible, "Time Immemorial" from Afterglow being a superb example.

Sorry to hear that but at least you are on your way to treatment now. I had 4-4 - fair aggressive. I've had one brachytherapy session, 15 radiotherapy sessions and am on hormone treatment for 2 years. PSA is "undetectable" at the moment, which is no surprise given everything I am taking! Any...

Who knows. Now that I'm inside the system, I'm looking at things with interest. When I saw those little stick man logos that presenters wear to shine the light on Prostate Cancer, I never knew what they were or bothered trying to find out. Over the last few years, I have become aware of the...

Ocean Rain – Echo and the Bunnymen Halfway through this album, I was going to say that there is nothing in it for me. It’s that gloomy goth sound from the mid-80s, no real melodies and certainly nothing like an instrumental passage to appreciate. Just 80s production and weird hair. There’s a...

It was a lot longer than 4 years - it was 6!

It’s the perfect antidote to where thousands of YouTube links are posted in 5 minutes on a thread and nobody says a thing. Like posting a link to “Stairway of Heaven”, “Stand by Me” or “I Am The Ressurection” and then it being lost in the rush does anybody any favours.

I think the transition from a couple of geezers writing a song and then 500 people recording it in the blink of an eye, and the the era of artists mostly writing their own music will be fascinating to observe in this thread.

We've also had "The Banana Boat Song" as well, which further underlines the point.
