If Music Could Talk

I enjoy Ultravox. Vienna is great in an overblown grandiose way yet simplistic. Though I always thought it owed a small debt to Midge Ure's first bands number 1 single. https://youtu.be/PMPsLT4Vyo0?si=gFSRJo1KUkoi_9CR Think you could be right, never even knew Midge had had a No.1 pre Ultravox. Ther...

Ah yes Australia's best-selling single ever. If memory serves though I believe "The Birdie Song" was also in the UK top 20 at the same time. Have to admit i have some grudging respect for those imbecilic tracks that got to No.1 and prevented some banger of a track from reaching the top, like Vienna...

There are much bigger musical crimes than those two. Well, there's Joe Dolce, but I'm not convinced there's that much worse that you'd term at least music! (Not so) fun fact: the distinctive synthesizer bits were devised and performed by Shane MacGowan's old school contemporary, Thomas Dolby. I kno...

Waiting for a Girl Like You Cold As Ice I'm sure you haven't escaped hearing those two. That other huge hit aside. The first one has been stuck inside my head for past 20 minutes and driving me insane. The second I'd guess I'd know it if i heard it, sadly. There are much bigger musical crimes than ...

No, not at all. I think they've managed to entrench themselves in the world of Classic Rock, however, and they had some monster hits. Must admit off-hand i only know the one song, the real horrendous one, and no way i could be risking my precious ears checking if they have any worse. Waiting for a ...

Thoughts on this year's rock hall inductees: Mary J Blige - solid pick. She helped change the landscape of R&B in the 1990s and her influence continues to be felt. Jimmy Buffett - he created a genre and then kept repeating it for decades. Maybe a "legacy" pick because he just croaked. Cher - meh. S...

Foreigners are great you Xenophobe. Stealing our jo....em, i think we're talking about the band here, right? Could you imagine two Foreigners. 😯 Impossible. There's only one Mick Jones! Sadly there are two. :disshame: Oh yeah, i forgot the great Leeds United inside forward of the 1960s and early 70...

Are Foreigner that good? They are the opposite of good. The epitome of not good. The role model for things not good. Foreigners are great you Xenophobe.

Who were the biggest solo artists of the 80s? Michael Jackson probably is at the top of that list, but I'd put Phil Collins in 2nd place. Madonna's on the short list. Agreed. I think I top-3 could be: 1) Michael Jackson 2) Madonna 3) Phil Collins Prince? I think top-5 ... I'd maybe slot him in 4th....

Phil Collins was definitely huge in the States hence why they felt they had to dash him across the Atlantic to beef up an otherwise lacklustre line up at Live Aid.
