The song nobody knows about ?

so any reason you picked a  deliberate pop song from 15 years ago rather than her newer, older stuff?

 

Yup, I asked AI (not ChatGPT) for the most popular work of each.

Not a very good AI then!

Jazz has been my go to for decades but my passion for that genre is about preference and doesn't mean that stuff that isn't Jazz is looked down upon. I love Prog, Rock, Funk, Classical, Pop, MoR, AoR etc. Earth, Wind and Fire are one of my off piste favourites and Boogie Wonderland is still a tune I love. Eva Cassidy, Frank Marino, Kim Mitchell, Max Webster, Level 42, Nik Kershaw, Alanis Morrisette.... The list is endless. Brazilian genres, flamenco, Astor Piazolla, Cuban music. If it's good, it's good.

 

Not getting the TS thing, hate rap, Dub Step, etc. but there is plenty of Jazz I don't like. Don't really like machine driven music and prefer hoomans playing with other hoomans but, in the main, there are no barriers.

The Carpenters. Just incredible.

I find it impossible to listen to many of their songs without blubbing. Her voice, the connection with times of my life, what happened to her, and the way she delivers that lyric, "what I got they used to call the blues" in context with her.  The cover of Superstar that they did had so many layers with the tragic subject matter with the huge orchestral triumphant swells.

 

I've always loved The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star and it's been rejected by every cover band I've ever proposed it for for 30 years or more so was over the moon to see it brilliantly covered by Those Damn Crows at their Cardiff Christmas show.

 

In the spirit of this thread, I think ABBA is the one for me. It's up in the #1 slot with The Beatles for me.
