The Album Review Club - Christmas Break Until 8th January

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Wow, this is much more eclectic than the first list and made harder by the clearly several folks who tried to be less obvious than the last time. If I recall right I think I guessed the most or 2nd most before; very much doubt I will do close to that this time! I only have a couple nailed on . . . and even with those it's a flimsily-installed nail . . . !

I’ve never heard that Elton John Track, but it’s going in my top 5.

Good isn't it.

OK TIME OUT.

A wee cock-up has been highlighted (my first, or second, depending on who you ask).

Track 3 is
You Were On my Mind by  Crispian St Peters NOT Christian St Peters.

Who would have thought two such similar names would have the same song title.

It was either the work of predictive text, or an incredible Clarkie to catch me and the rest of us out.

I'll edit the original post, @RobMCFC could you please edit the playlist?

The playlist already has the Crispian St Peters track in, so all is good.

Chapeau to whoever picked the song that samples Peter Finch, one of the great scenes in cinema.

Surprising how incredibly relevant it still is today, in almost its entirety.

Phew, Foggy won't go mad then...

It is odd, Spotify does indeed have that same song title by Christian, but when I click it, it is actually the same song. No idea what is going on there then. Anyway, all is well, the right song as a song has been there all along and the name has now been corrected too. And no identities were revealed in the process.

Whoever it is, it’s a good one, as is the Cat Stevens song.

I've got you down as one of my suspects for that one.

I'd never heard of him but really liked it so had a bit of a read, two hit wonder who apparently declared himself a better songwriter than the Beatles and a better live performer than Elvis; unclear whether said just for publicity or whether he actually believed it!

Either way, great choice.

On the whole, it is a very good playlist, with an excellent ending.
