If the Pogues - Christmas in New York is not in the top 25, i'm off to trolly dolly's blog.
ReplyDeleteupdate - it seems abandoned - thank heaven for small mercies.
I went through a naff kraut krapp phase, to my shame, and my favourite was
ReplyDeleteStefan Waggershausen singing "Hello Engel"

Which is another reason why I am please we won the war.
Keep it up Iain. You have no shame. I like that.
'Candle in the Wind'....?
ReplyDelete/facepalm
Mistake. Don't do it again. Please.
ReplyDeleteAs a professional musician, it never fails to surprise me that people whom in a lot of respects I admire (that's you Iain) have such vile (and I really mean that, yes VILE) taste. Where is the jazz? Where is the Bach? It's all just noise. They play this stuff in supermarkets and lifts, and it's bloody annoying. Stop it.
ReplyDeleteMover and shaker you may be Mr. Dale but if I had to listen to an entire Party Selection of yours I would be begging for someone to kill me.
ReplyDeleteStill each to their own. Is Both Sides now ( Paul Young and Clannad ) the Joni Mitchell song? I have a good Glen Campbell version and I like Paul Young . That might be ok
And when exactly did you have this aesthetic bipass operation?
ReplyDeleteIan - your taste in music is absolutely dreadful
ReplyDeleteHeaven knows what will be in your top 10
I bet you have teddy bears on you bed. You big soft...
