Kupar 13,319 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 To confirm my status as PF's least cool, most dinosaur-like and soppily romantic music fan. I never really liked Genesis, and this, of course, is the beginning of the end for them as a giant prog-rock band, but somehow ... I really like this. There - I've said it. 1 Link to post
Kupar 13,319 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) And I have long believed that this is the most perfect pop song ever recorded. Three minutes 23 seconds of pure pop perfection: terrific guitar riff, magnificent sax solo, rock-solid drumming, sexy lead singer, even-sexier keys player, smooth production - unbeatable! No arguments. Incidentally, the sexy keyboard player (Martha Ladly) is professor of design at Ontario College of Art & Design University. Edited August 1, 2021 by Kupar Clarification 2 Link to post

gldenwetgoose 21,451 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The Tax Man's taken all my dough, left me in my stately home, lazing on a sunny afternoon. Yep exactly that... Now I'm sitting here, sipping on my ice cold beer, on a lazy sunny afternoon. 1 2 Link to post
Sexismygod 1,782 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Witch Hunt by Rush ... I remember hearing this for the first time live. Just stunning. Great song but really shows its claws on stage. RIP Neil Peart. We may never see a stage band like Rush again (though Muse makes a good second option ... completely different and yet so similar). Oops ... switched to Jammin' by Bob Marley. Nice shuffle. Love these stylistic transitions. 😁 Link to post

May absolutely rips it up. Thanks for the pointer. Never heard this version before. On the girls: The girl on the right is nice a jiggly, but the girl on the left has better nipple action. 😎 Link to post
Kupar 13,319 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 A favourite one-hit-wonder song. 1 1 Link to post
Kupar 13,319 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 In terms of human achievements, there's the Apollo moon landings, the pyramids ... and Clem Burke's drumming on this track. I particularly like the machine-gun riffs from about 1:30. Enjoy. 1 1 Link to post
gldenwetgoose 21,451 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Have I got you converted @Kupar - and did you know he also drummed for Lennox & Stewart... Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, Thorn In My Side as prime examples. Link to post

It's a close run thing whether 'Presence, Dear' or 'Dreaming' is my favourite track showcasing his work. I think I do vaguely remember that he drummed with Eurythmics, but thanks for reminding me!

Kupar 13,319 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 In the olden days, long before autotune and the (to my ears) bizarre, autotune-influenced, machine-like, nasal vocal delivery that many singers have these days, there was Dusty Springfield. Thinking of her this morning. 1 1 Link to post
Kupar 13,319 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 And for @gldenwetgoose - a drummer to give Clem Burke a run for his money. I give you the magnificent, the indefatigable Reni. Yes, this is over 8 minutes long, but what an 8 minutes! If you want just one quick example of his extraordinary versatility in this two-part track, listen to the transition from the first to the second half, for at least a minute from about 3m20s. But ideally, listen to the whole thing, loud! John Squire's guitar playing isn't too shabby either 🙂 1 Link to post

Sexismygod 1,782 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Set shuffle ... hit play ... and ... aaaaaaahhhh I saw an article recently that said new artists were struggling to get heard because we're all listening to the classics ... maybe there's a reason for that. Just sayin' 1 1 Link to post
