gldenwetgoose 20,108 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. Quote 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 12,147 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 Quote Link to post
Kupar 12,147 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 Quote Link to post

Sexismygod 1,760 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.

From a happier time perhaps for the rather lovely Ms Spears. My heart goes out to her - she's suffered a lot. Quote Link to post

Sophie 22,727 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 As some of you will know, I'm quite a shy person and absolutely hate large crowds, it's my idea of hell. But... This song...this song actually makes me want to go to a club, like.. a lot. 2 Quote Link to post
