AppyDAZE Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Freddie Rachmaninoff. BTW This isn't some bloke who actually could play a bit of piano proper and so they went and used the bloke for this... NO this is the band's lead vocalist who put this track down. Phenomenal band.

AppyDAZE Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 This was actually a really good band before all the 80s stuff. No, they were actually and it is a fact. The Knife (1970) Mike Rutherford way before the mechanics and all that shit What a bassist. And so OTIBers I nominate Genesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 29, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Just watching the Amy Winehouse documentary on C5, a reminder of what might have been, what a tragic, terrible waste of an amazing talent. Amy would very near the top of my ‘wish I’d seen live’ list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud to say that I bought the debut the year it was released, and ended up buying their entire works. What a legacy this lot left. I used to have a pen pal in the US: she sent me a tape of Reckoning before I had ever heard of them. Loved them ever since. Only got to see them once, in Atlanta. Brilliant band. As an aside, I know the barrister who got Peter Buck off his air rage case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were amazing, and I still have fond memories of those early records (a real favourite of mine being Reconstruction of the fables) Gonna start playing their stuff again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the first 3 or 4 Squeeze albums on vinyl, but never got to see them live until last year, when their greatest hits tour coincided with a work trip over to Dublin. They were fantastic and their back catalogue is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fantastic and their back catalogue is a thing of beauty. I saw them once in about 1980. They were good but the thing about it that I still remember today is they were quiet. You could almost talk to each other when they were on. Weird. Kept thinking turn it up FFS. and this was an electric set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t either Major but I recognise that Benny and Bjorn are songwriters extraordinaire. Their music will survive them as will the songs of Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards.

Especially this one and Fernando Tbh I thought I was too cool for ABBA when they were at their peak ( although the women were great to look at ), but as I got older and opened up my head to other music I began to realise how great the musical arrangements and genuine craft were in ABBA'S songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
