Oh I read my text back just after I had posted it, Bratti. It sounded like I was giving you both a right telling off didn’t it! I didn’t mean it that way honestly. You’re cool people and I hope you stick around 
What are your personal favourites anyway, Bratti? I may be able to give you an idea if they appear in here (but I can’t give too much away mind).
Nor might you expect a bunch of sun-kissed teenagers stretched out on Zuma Beach with their transistor radios raving about written-in-Walesl “That’s the Way”…
That 10CC song used to make me cry wistfully, Floydy. I was so…deep 
.
I’m Not In Love is a very poignant song, Surfermom. Very reflective. The line “I keep your picture on the wall…” gets to me every time I play it.
Ditto for me Floyd. Sorry mate…
No Floydy, you had every right to post what you did. This is your thread and has a topic. Your response was perfectly justified.
I’ll give your question some serious consideration and get back to you later.
Yes I agree with Bratti. I got carried away (as is typical of my people, lol!). TY for letting me know…
Thanks Bobby, Bratti. Your contributions are always welcome 
Time for just three (or maybe four) today. We’ll see how far we get as we venture into the Top 600…
No.600: “David Bowie” by David Bowie (1967)
After a number of singles on the Pye label as David Jones and the Lower Third, our future megastar chameleon changed his stage name to Bowie (after he noticed it from the well-known hunting knife) and put out his first album proper.
It was not a success and his Anthony Newley-style of singing didn’t find too many fans at this stage, but he was soon to make up for it for his next album (of that, later).
For now though, here are three videos: The first one is a rare BBC recording of ‘Rubber Band’ which was on the b-side of the single ‘Love You Till Tuesday’, a static clip of the brilliant early single ‘Can’t Help Thinking About Me’ (very Small Faces), plus Bowie’s first ever TV interview recorded when he just 17 years old.
No.599: “The B-52’s” by The B-52’s (1979)
Ready for some fun? Well there’s no better wacky fun American band than this lot from Athens, Georgia. led by the Fred Schneider and featuring the beehived-attired talents of Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, this crazy band threw all vocal talents to the wind, adopted a jive-type rhythm and put out this bonkers album. The first single from it, ‘Rock Lobster’ is an absolute classic in my opinion and is totally out there, it’s downright silly from start to finish and the other video I have for you is ‘Planet Claire’. Just as nuts.
Later on of course the band would release such classics as ‘Love Shack’ and ‘Roam’ and be signed up to record the title song for the Flintstones Movie - it couldn’t have been anyone else really, could it!?
Hell, that cheered me up!
Back to normality…
No.598: “No Quarter - Unledded” by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (1994)
Reconvening for a stint on the old MTV ‘Unplugged’ series, which of course most bands would do for a handsome payday, Led Zepp legends Plant & Page re-recorded some of their old classics live on stage for this excellent album. Here’s the single from it, ‘Gallow’s Pole’:
Time for one more:
No.597: “Walls And Bridges” by John Lennon (1974)
Deeply immersed in exile in New York City and recorded from sessions which featured Harry Nilsson, Ringo and Elton John, John Lennon appeared with this collection of solid, but reflective songs.
It’s always very difficult to find any Beatles-related videos which are allowed to be shown from the net, but these two are a pretty good indication of the album’s content:
More tomorrow, enjoy folks!
Is this during his ‘Lost Week-end’ phase?
That’s it, Bobby, I couldn’t remember what it was called.
I’ve actually got some bootlegs from those sessions but they didn’t get a lot of recording done as they were all stoned and p!ssed up most of the time!
Oh, ya. For sure. LOL
The Brandy Alexander sessions they were called.
Dunno why but I get mixed up with that name and the Arnold Corns sessions, which of course was David Bowie around the time of Hunky Dory.
No.614: “Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze” by Kurt Vile (2013)
Thanks for this.Another new one for me.
A bit different from"Mack the Knife"
Confession time:
Quite indifferent to David Bowie.Let’s Dance is the only record I have.
Mack The Knife? Bobby Darin…sorry bud, you’ve lost me 
Big fan of Bowie though. Let’s Dance is typically 80s. As always he kept up with what was going on around him.
It’s a tune by Kurt Weill
Oh aye course it is mate. I’m a bit slow on the uptake tonight! 
I lose track of what the time is in the UK.We are 11 hours ahead so its 10.15am here.
I can acknowledge what a rockpop legend Bowie was but he’s never done much for me, just like Elvis.
