Let’s not forget that Nils Lofgren also has a history with Neil Young and Crazy Horse, starting already in 1970 on After the Goldrush, when Nils was 19. His second studio solo album Cry Tough from 1976 is an excellent album. I still have the LP.

David Bowie – Space Oddity

My personal first contact to the music of David Bowie was the album “Low” with “sound and vision” but I love the music even to the china girl and Let’s dance aera.

A fabulous artist, not only as a solo performer, but with his influence for instance into the artwork of Queen, although Freddy Mercury wasn’t too happy about Bowie’s dominance in the recording of “under pressure”

Simply Red - Something Got Me Started

I love the unique voice of Mick Hucknall.

I had the pleasure to see them perform live on stage.

Also good the vids they create to their songs like “fairground”

besides “Something got me started”, one of my favourites of Simply Red is a remake of the classic 1974 “Stylistics” song You make me feel brandnew.

Simply Red - You Make Me Feel Brand New

I think Hucknall’s voice fits perfect to this song.

By the way, the title of the song translated into English is “Born to be alive”
Wait a minute, that reminds me of something… :grin:

That must have been at the time of the disco wave. 1976/1977… :laughing:

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Had the pleasure to see Jethro Tull several times live on stage. Oh-some

Aqualung and Locomotive breath seem to be their greatest economic successes, I like the heavy horses aera as well. Ian Anderson is a great musician.

Vengo a romperles el “viejazo” (lo disfruto, cabe aclarar), por este tema de “Snow Patrol”. Ayer estuve en medio de una tormenta de viento y rayos (todo Buenos Aires lo estuvo, de hecho) y si bien la letra no habla del clima en sí, el recuerdo del rayo y cómo surcó el cielo me vino hoy a la cabeza y por ende, la canción.

This is from a group I think would deserve a higher popularity. Ran into them accidently when visiting a friend who was playing the album “the sound of…” because he had the blues.

Their variety from slow ballads to faster tracks is wonderful.

diary bread

one of my favourites, but all songs of “The sound of bread” would be worth mentioning.

Never forget this song. It was on a Friday Night on Dutch Radio. I never heard of Rick Springfield or this song before. I bought new Bose speakers that day so that evening i immediately had neighbours knocking at my door.

I saw them twice. In 1977 in Ekeberghallen and 1979 in Drammenshallen. Very good gigs!
By the way, have you seen that St. Paul & the Broken Bones is coming 12.06.2024, 20:00 Cosmopolite Scene (Soria Moriaslottet). I would have liked to have seen them after seeing through a few concerts, fantastic, but unfortunately I am in the US for the whole of June.
A fun fact: I will be staying at a friends house in Bill Morrissey’s hometown of Hartford, Connecticut.
