Blackmores Night for me - great listen.........

But did you not have visions of a minature Stonehenge being lowered in and expect the little people to come dancing onto the stage?

• Ritchie Blackmore - guitars, renaissance drum, nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, mandola, mandolin

Wow! I've never heard of this band! (obviously I know Ritchie Blackmore) but this was a fantastic track. Kudos to whoever nominated it.

Can’t vote against the most elegant fingers in rock n roll.

Blackmore’s Night.

They have made several albums. Lead singer Candice Night was a backing singer for Rainbow. Ritchie liked what he saw / heard so much, he married her.

That's hiliarious, and of course I had to get the backstory on what I thought was a Nilsson song all along...

Badfinger, huh? A shame they didn't profit...

The Story of... 'Without You' by Harry Nilsson

Who wrote 'Without You'? What's its legacy? Has anyone else covered it? Here's all you need to know about the gut-wrenching ballad.

This might be close. Now I need to hear the originals too.

I thought everyone knew it was Ham/Evans - first single i bought was No Matter What

 

[mrbelfry]

not a big fan of either but I voted for Nilsson because it's the one I'll still be humming in a couple of hours despite myself

 

[roman totale]

Nilsson. The other one is bloody awful.
