The Daughter and I were dancing around to this song last week. When she was 6 or 7-ish we used to watch that band's telly show together...none of this plonking my child in front of the telly while I phoned friends or did my nails...or even housework (God forbid), I used to watch some of the televisual rubbish with her!

S Club 7 - 'Bring It All Back'

The Beatle who's not taken as seriously as the others...he really couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but I like these. He had a star-studded list of chums to call on for help which could only have benefitted matters...

Ringo Starr:
'It Don't Come Easy'
'Goodnight Vienna'
'You're Sixteen'

Norrie'll love this ;o)

I bought this single. Heard it on the radio recently and thoroughly enjoyed it...so there...

David Bowie - 'The Laughing Gnome'

Well, we're at the end of the week for the producer of the month competition and at this stage the scores (adjusting Miss Babs for two appearances in the week) are as follows.

Miss Babs 10

Richard 17

Mandi 21

Kirsten 21 (an incredible 13 points for Tuesday's show one of the best ever)

Can we just settle for Della & The Dealer?

You can't possibly like all this s***?

Henri, Henri, Henri!!!
You dare to doubt the Listmeister!!!

#9 Not marked down for Bicycle Race then?

Actually I quite like Queen ☺

Not a request BTW...

Kylie Minogue - Spinning Around

Hotpantastic ☺

Great song and tune smiths.
However, they were not artists you could admit to liking back in 77.

"All For A Reason" - Alessi Brothers

Henson reveals his inspiration for Gonzo and Beaker

#10

guilty as charged, i'm afraid. One person's musical s*** is another person's musical guilty pleasure....

MacCaffthepage even lists secrets

#9 HH how does your points system work again?

#18

5 points every time he gets a mention. He got three on Tuesday.

:o)

'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' - Celine Dion

18/19

Despite our Brazilian commentator's cruel and cynical observations it's very simple:-))

One point for every track I hear which is less obvious or that I've never heard before.

Tuesday's show was stuffed with a wide variety of great tracks, seldom played, even when the Beatles turned up it was a little played album track. Spoiled only by Queen, but I don't deduct points.

Early days, but it's interesting. I was reading Cerys Mathews in the Herald this morning about Radio 6 and they might as well have been interviewing anyone on this blog.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Again Adam!!! What's your secret? I'm going to get myself moderated sometime...that's on my list of things to do before I turn 50...I can't afford most of the rest.

Don't know what Adam said but surely it couldn't have been worse than patrick's list .........

Al.

how on earth are you going to mark tonight's show, Henri? I never saw so many songs, here and on FB that I never ever want to hear again.

My offering's class compared to yon, she said modestly

Somewhere Somehow - Wet Wet Wet

some voice, Marti Pellow

ps, I read Adam's comment before it was pulled, I can't for the life of me think what was wrong with it
pps, I've been moderated before now I'm proud to say, it's definitely something to add to your CV

I have 'fessed up in the past to liking a couple of these artistes but they were not considered cool back in the day.
Used to buy their singles and keep in them in amongst the folks' Perry Como Albums and such like in case any of my pals came round to the house.

Nothing Rhymed / Gilbert O'Sullivan
(flat cap and all but a superb song)

Answer Me or People Get Ready / Barbara Dickson
(From the excellent Answer Me album, the latter is a cover of the Curtis Mayfield song and is first class)

The Show Must Go On / Leo Sayer
(Leo dressed as the clown using the whole circus metaphor, fantastic)

Al.

despite never quite having a longing for all things choral, i've had a secret admiration for this off-the-wall offering since first hearing it:

'My Generation' ---------- The Zimmers

#26

well, it's a good opportunity for Miss B to catch up some ground on the colleagues - by not playing the blatantly obvious novelty songs and playing things which are genuine guilty pleasures.

It seems a strange thing to say, but my guilty pleasure is Paul McCartney. It strikes me as odd that for years it has been kinda uncool to say so - some of his solo work strikes me as stunning.

Paul McCartney, once the epitome of cool, came to be vilified after The Beatles broke up and some of his solo work was disregarded for reasons that were little to do with the music, it seems to me. The problem stems from an inability to pick good singles or a deliberate arrogance to pick things least likely to succeed, thus giving the public a false impression of the material overall. I love McCartney's more obscure albums/tracks, from Flaming Pie backwards, no matter how unfashionable, particularly his pastiche Edwardian music hall numbers and his vocal shenanigans.

This blog is one of the places I can be completely open about this, and like our hero, some albums I don't seem to leave on the coffee table.

Any of these would demonstrate the point

Monkberry Moon Delight ( Ram)

Stranglehold (Press To Play)

You Gave Me The Answer ( Wings, Venus and Mars)

Check My Machine (McCartney 2)

Wunderlust ( Tug Of War)

Get It ( Tug Of War - with Carl Perkins)

Mr Bellamy (Memory Almost Full)

The Mess (Red Rose Speedway bonus track)


regardez - youse

Guilty pleasures:

Razorlight - In The Morning

Keane - Crystal Ball

#24, #25 & #26

Well apparently I said something that was

".... considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others
Are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable
Contain swear words or other language likely to offend"

I was only referring to the bottle in the picture!!

Tell it to the judge!

FRIDAY


I'll Meet You at Midnight - Smokie


I wouldn't be at all surprised if Adam's response was deemed to be inappropriate.

Scruff...

Great shout SG!

Now Barbara... I hope you're paying attention & raise your game to that of Henri's approval ;-)

A couple of tracks that now appear on a playlist or two from time to time, like Julie, I've daughters listening to thank, if that's the right word...

(The Ping Pong Song) Do You Know / Enrique Iglesias

Picture of You / Boyzone

Both rerr wee pop songs

Al.

Would be good to hear

"Hold Back The Night" - The Trammps

as Jimmy Ellis has been added to Henri's list.

Yep, sadly, yet another for the Megrahi show.

That girl who reads the outdoor activties forecast does my box in.

unnecessary comment, Henri.

#40 that's caus you're never outside Henri

#41/42

Both absolutely right.Apologies to the outdoor activities reader.

Good to hear 'Victims', great voice, Boy George - point for that one.

#43

I'll sell you the 7" single with limited edition poster sleeve (mint cond) seeing as you still obviously appreciate it.
