    Just listening to A-Ha's fabulous MTV unplugged album "Summer Solstice".

    The acoustic "Take on me" gives me shivers !!

    They where playing it like that 30 years ago at a Hamburg Radio Station and since then, I have (unsuccessfully) tried to get the recording!

    Love theme from The Mask of Zorro.
    I've always loved this song, the Orchestration is fantastic. Back in the day
    when I was a wedding photographer, this was one of the songs I'd put on
    a slide show of the couples more romantic images.

    Just heard that composer Johan Johannsson has passed away. I absolutely love his score for 'Prisoners' so I'm listening to that right now. RIP :(

    This is a great song and the video is smart too - watch it on your phone and move it around (I assume using your mouse will have the same effect) - it’s been filmed in 360 :o

    Sometimes a song can completely sum up what/where/how you're feeling.

    I've been looking at an abandoned example of my dream first project car.
    Quite obviously, I feel like a Creep - Radiohead.

    Started listening back to my favourites of Blink 182.
    What's My Age Again, Adam's Song, I Miss You and Up All Night.
    All the Small Things deserves a mention for its brilliant music video but it doesn't work the same way it does with it.

    Being a hard rock fan from the 60's and 70's, so Zep Purple The Doors, Cream, Sabbath and AC/DC, I'm listening to a bit of Ted Nugent Gonzo Live.

    I have to say I don't normally like American bands and the American soft West Coast rock.

    I have to say Mr Nugent can play an electric guitar thats for sure. The tracks Stranglehold is a quality hard rock song, others I like Stormtroopers, The Great White Buffalo, Snakeskin Cowboy and Hibernation.

    Genesis. "I Know What I Like".

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_EYU75uhKk (Peter Gabriel on lead vocal, Phil Collins on drums & harmony, Steve Hackett on lead guitar)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnsx8EkQmpo (Phil Collins on lead vocal, Chester Thomson on drums, Daryl Steurmer on leade guitar)

    Tony Banks on keyboards & backing vocals, Mike Rutherford on bass & backing vocals on both.

    I totally prefer Phil on drums (no slight to Chester, he's superb) and slightly prefer Daryl to Steve on guitar- but cannot decide between Peter and Phil on vocals.

    Definitely Phil , Peter is great as Peter Gabriel but Phil is better Genesis . Saying that I've been watching home by the sea part 1 and 2 superb live
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Just watched Barbels posting of Genesis I know what I like , the Phil Collins version , I must admit I have seen lots of vids of Phil performing his famous tarantella . With Mike Rutherford and his iconic twin neck Richenbacher guitar , doing his best to keep a straight face . I had the privilege of seeing that live at Wembley years ago . I drove home in my 1600E , with my mate who was far from a Genesis fan , and even he admitted it was the greatest show he'd ever seen :)

    I gotta go with conventional wisdom: this is a Gabriel toon, and he delivers it the way it was meant to be performed. This is a unique piece of rock-as-theatre. They are playing in a small hall, with the musicians shrouded in darkness, and Gabriel in makeup and a variety of costumes and simple props conveying a range of bizarre characters. He did it all in character, maintaining a distancing factor from the audience, making the entire experience about the stories he told. I bet he freaked out quite a few trippers in the audience.
    And as a vocalist I think he is much better than he is usually given credit for. Not just the character voices, but he has range and projection. I think he has gone on to be accomplished in so many things we tend to miss he was always a really good singer.
    The entire 1973 Shepperton Studios film needs to be seen by anybody interested in the original version of Genesis.

    Whereas the Collins version, they are playing in a stadium to a more mainstream audience, performing an accessible crowdpleasing version of one of their early "hits" (I don't think they actually had hits until "Your Own Special Way"). All the storytelling and weirdness is gone. Phil as a frontman took almost the opposite approach from Gabriel, he is like the audience's buddy up there on stage, unmistakably his own self, interacting directly with the crowd and egging them on. And the rest of the band is now also brightly lit, they are conventional rock stars now.

    Not to diss Phil though, which too many purists do. He was the only one Gabriel continues to collaborate with ("Intruder" on Gabriel III), he was all over Brian Eno's early albums, and he had his own jazz-fusion band, Brand X, before becoming a solo star in the 1980s.
