Rich Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' album. I was about to refer to it as a guilty pleasure, but it's really not. It's easy to write Madge off as a bubblegum merchant, but this is a properly superb album with excellent songs, very well performed and exquisitely producer-polished.

For me, her early career - probably up to Like a Prayer - is one great big brilliant pop record after another. I still think Holiday is one of finest pop records of the 80s or any other decade... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's Cherish from Like A Prayer. Very nearly the perfect pop song. I always end up singing my heart out to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I fell asleep listening to Spotify, and when I woke up this album was playing. A great tribute to Gary Moore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Anyhow, back to business. This morning I'm listening to the wonderful, albeit now sadly defunkt Canadian band, Hollerado. I love that there's this supposed backstory that they won some money in a battle of the bands competition and spent in on this video. They did a handful of albums although the commercial disaster of 111 Songs, which pretty much stopped them dead in the water for over two years, pretty much finished them off...clue's in the title folks. When they did the first album (Record In A Bag), if you ordered direct, it came in a little ziplock bag containing with confetti, sweets, nonsense: When they did their second (White Paint), they allegedly hated the artwork and painted over every cover with trade white paint: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is brilliant, it reminds me of videos by OK GO, the first of which, Here It Goes Again, is still my favourite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I profess I adored the first OKGO! album, the second (well, for me at least) really suffered Stacy's Mom syndrome...without the video for HIGA, very few people outside their immediate fanbase would have been any the wiser of their existence. Reckon they will be forever haunted by the ghost of that treadmill video, so much so I think (from memory) they didn't really shake the whole choreographed video thing, trying to be more and more eloborate with every consecutive video. Really suprised to just read that they haven't released anything for six years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Fancied a bit of Mott/Ian Hunter today so headed towards Hunter's first solo album for Once Bitten, Twice Shy, then remembered this... Ian Hunter, with the legend that is Mick Ronson on guitar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I've been listening to this a lot lately, too. Drummer mate of mine wants to record it. I mentioned to him a few days ago when he was wanted to do the recording and he said 'Midnight Moses, not Amos Moses. Pay attention at the back! ' 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonstar Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 One of those days when every piece of music I play disappoints, depresses or irritates me - obviously it's me - like when you lose your sense of smell and taste when you are under the weather - except we don't have a specific that applies only to losing the ability to enjoy music.

Graham Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The new Fall Of Messiah album - (mostly) instrumental post-hardcore from France; strikes just the balance between the post and the hardcore http://fallofmessiah.bandcamp.com/album/senicarne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
