Are you asking others? I consider myself to be pretty open as far as different genres go, but I will give you my opinion here.



Again, seriously subjective opinion :)

Do you agree with yourself?

You don't know Would?

Expand pls.
Chick I know was living in Sydney at the time as she was in that Queen musical "We Will Rock You", I went up to visit and she was in the same serviced apartments the bands were. She knew Nick from school or something and we got into the bands party floor. I didn't even know the Arias were on

I remember discussing him remaking Evie as he wanted to get Stevie Wright some coin as he was doing it tough. I also remember listening to a lot of Barry Manilow (that may have been around dawn though)

Oh come on. You must know it.
Is that the one where the guy says "I make me crazy" or something? If so yes. Never paid attention to who the artist was and I've never heard that name before so assumed I didn't know it.

I love how music can take you back to earlier periods of your life. I'm listening to Zeppelin for the first time in a very very long time atm and this song takes me back to my first year at uni. A mate and I would play it on the jukebox, without fail, every Thursday night at the pub (Thursday was college pub night) for pretty much the entire first semester.

Happy days when life was a hell of a lot simpler.

For some reason this song popped in my head, I remember seeing these dudes on one of the small stages at the BDO like 10 years ago and it still sticks in my mind as one of the better performances i've seen. Have always thought they should have gained more traction than they did as an interesting sounding aussie band.



Also been watching the show this is from a ton, dunno how this campaigners voice can be so pristine live. I mostly expect vocalists to be shitty in a live setting so im always super impressed when they can actually replicate studio performances.

 
What pleases me: the solo at the end of Comfortably Numb. Haven't listened to it in years. The first half is still Roger Waters drinking his own bathwater though.
There's a fair few David Gilmour solos that are just a delight to listen to. I really love his solo on high hopes using the lap steel guitar.
