Quote (TOBY @ Mar. 13 2006, 18:25) | ps Personally I'd prefer to listen to Fairy-tale of New York than, say, any Bonnie Tyler song.
pps Is Mike's frame of musical reference SO narrow that he has to pick one of his own songs, he's missing the point of the whole exercise. People take it as read that an artist actually likes they're own music. |
Bob Geldof chose a Boomtown Rats song on his "Tracks of My Years" selection, I take it he's missing the point too.
I'm not a fan of Bonnie Tyler , but I do find "It's A Heartache" quite listenable,maybe it takes me back to happy days of bouncing around on my Spacehopper. just been listening again as I sort of heard Mike's pick at work yesterday, (isn't this internet thing good).

With David Gilmour back in the charts and on the front cover of every music magazine at the moment, what more evidence does anybody need. So hurry up with the album Mike, you don't want to miss the boat. |
It's great to see the return of prog rock , this new album from David Gilmour, Mike releasing the Platinum Collection, all these appearances on the radio. Mike writing his autobiography, and returning to his '70's long instrumental pieces . Not that I would put Mike's music into such restrictive categories like "Prog". I did read Mike descibed as "Oldfield Progressive" which puts him into a unique class of his own.
WELCOME BACK MIKE
