  1. I had and loved the Genzler Magellan 350w. Sold in lockdown as out of everything I have it is replaceable. I had the Rumble 112s which are very good, but I love my Purple Chili 112s. Sadly I don't think @Cosmicrain is currently building any.
  2. Whereas I love the way a lot of rap artists work like musical magpies, uncovering, or rediscovering great music for new generations. Eminem bringing Labi Siffre and even Chas & Dave to a wider audience is a great example.
  3. Well I personally don't think those two go together!
  4. Congratulations - that hopefully is a seriously unpopular opinion!!
  5. It's a musical opinion, but hardly unpopular 🤨
  6. No gratuitous shots here, but this is the later Paul Hardcastle theme which we released on a label I was working for in the early 90s:
  7. Probably a lot of truth here, which is why I've struggled as a complete and utter musical tart. I'd love to play in a punky/folky band (something along the lines of the Levellers) but also would love the chance to play Northern Soul. All I know for certain is I never want to be in a blues rock band again.
  8. Popular opinion with me, but I know we are in a minority.
  9. Don't attempt his version of Walk on By then 🤨
  10. Now you have put me in a quandary. I know I should oppose elitism, but I hate populism even more 😟
  11. I believe it had a fair amount of vocals too...
  12. Time for a thread revival with this beauty - some nice minimalist bass and drums in parts.
  13. This. I used to play rhythm guitar in a swing band. We loved playing Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, but the audience loved Glen Miller. We played In The Mood in a very slapdash way as it was really the big band equivalent of Sex on Fire. We then decided to absolutely nail it - everyone learning their part with no chart. Still don't like the tune but we ended up playing it really well
  14. Can't find the one I love - blue and gold embroidered fabric finish 😎
  15. Jens Ritter would probably agree with you.
  16. Pointless, as that would not be an unpopular opinion for the purpose of this thread!
  17. My old 'americana' for want of a better word band used to play Dylan, Neil Young, Little Feat, and for birthdays/anniversaries we always ended up chucking in Enrique Iglesias Hero. Went down a storm and was fun to play- to hell with credibility!
  18. Oh, and forgot to add a favourite, the wonderful Hugh Masekela.
  19. BBC6 Music play some new instrumental tracks, Ezra Collective (jazz) Kamasi Washington (cinematic jazz) Mogwai (rock) and quite a bit of instrumental dance music. I think Mogwai's album got to number one earlier this year.
  20. Yes, they have been confessed to - you are not alone. But I think you're safe with this being an unpopular opinion 😆
  21. See, unpopular already! I almost agree with you Steve, but think her first hit, Saving all my Love was a better performance.
  22. What, all those Foreigners going around wanting to know what love is? (Great track btw).
  23. Only found out last week that Feeling Good (Nina Simone, Muse etc) was written by Tony Newley.
  24. Only wrong thread if you think not many people will agree with you. Personally I have no idea how popular/credible Pearl Jam are/were.
  25. If that's the playlist then feel free to invite me next time!
