What music are you listening to ?

So far so good, the Slavics at work only listen to Dance music on a large speaker (loud with it too unless management come down then it’s off ski)no radio.

Close call driving back though, news on the radio is Kylie Minogue and Wham are vying for the Crimbo No1 slot. Turned it off didn’t want to chance it.

 

this is just showing my age, and how things have finally moved on because it was always Sl#d£ for me, it was kind of okay for a decade but after that it just got depressing.

 

Good grief that Noddy Nolder is a bore.

 

That used to be my favourite one too Chris, but I now prefer these, with The Boss just winning; that recording is 50 years old this year.





Quite enjoyed this one from yesterday.

 

i don't know what it is, but Bruce's just works for me, always has and i'm not tired of it yet. Pogues and Kirsty - about 50/50. John Williams isn't Christmassy enough 4 me. We also have:-















will await your thoughts.

 

My favourites are





and much lesser played track

 

Forgot Pretenders - excellent, Top 3 at least.

 

Of those Chris, I like Mike Oldfield and Joni Mitchell, and I don't mind Greg Lake or Chris Rea but there are Chris Rea songs (albeit not Christmas ones) that I much prefer.

Driving down the the gym earlier, this was on the radio and I didn't recognise the singer until it was announced.



I went online to have another listen and I didn't realise how many versions of it there were, and this nowhere near all of them.

 

And.... how could we not????

 

Indeed.

 

You also forgot Elton -surely one of the better known ones from that era?



And that awful McCartney song -ugh...

Of those you listed, I like Greg Lake's tune probably the best, but that might be due to getting thoroughly fed up with most of the others?

Still how about these for a change? I might have saved the best for the last...

 

i didn't forget Elton or Paul M, they just weren't included for another reason.

So it's sentimentality and age for me :-

Joni Mitchell
Pretenders
Greg Lake
Chris Rea

Two of them shamelessly include "others" music, but who cares.

 

I definitely forgot the John Lennon song - as ridiculous as that sounds! Actually its my joint fave with Greg. Though Eric Idles little ditty does deserve a dishonorable mention.I don't think I've ever heard Joni's Xmas tune before.

 

That Suzanne Vega album is simply brilliant.

 

one reminded me of the other in the theme - simply unattainable and full of confusing mystery, might be why Billy Joel came to include some of the lyrics in:-

 

and coincidentally
