OT - What Song (s) You Listening To Today?

[Andy_Faber]

Currently listening to 'To Love Somebody' by Lulu off a vid I took last night at her gig in Edinburgh. If you want to get down with a 69 year-old with a SERIOUSLY good set of pipes and a sh*t-hot band, get up to Buxton on 19th November. As far as I could tell she's lost nothing from her heyday, what fortune she was in town (I'm here for the rugby)

It's not just her pipes that are still 'seriously good'!! Saw her years ago, she brought the house down!

Fair do's rA!! I can't easily explain why I liked (or perhaps was intrigued by) the Pistols tbf. I generally liked Punk and still do. My missus thinks I'm weird but she likes Abba!!!!

I didn’t dislike all Punk, mac. Loved the Clash, Stranglers, Blondie and Joy Division amongst others. Just thought the Pistols were totally reliant on the ‘shock’ factor. Johnny Rotten/Lydon obviously continues to have a talent for self publicity, but beyond that I thought he was a waste of space...and still is.

[macstheman]

Yes he's not done bad for himself. Mind you so has Trump!!

For all you Dusty Springfield fans - mac, Rom and MA at least - just in case you don’t know, there is a current theatre tour called ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ which tells the Dusty story. I went to the Kinks equivalent last year and it really was excellent. Going to the Carole King one next year - still think ‘Tapestry’ is an all time great album - they really can be good, the next best thing to the real thing. Think the Dusty one is in Nottingham in late January/early Feb but if you can’t cope with going there I think it’s also on in Chester, Shrewsbury, Coventry and Bradford I think. Personally I’m not that much of a fan but it might be worth checking out.

Thanks for that rA, might look into the Notts one!!
Just relaxing with a bit of Black Sabbath before bed!!

Cheers.
I like Dusty a lot. My favourite current song is actually a remake of her hit - I only want to be with you, by the Bay City Rollers (remember them).

I’m still trying to forget...the Bay City Rollers...like Roger’s earlier video, more proof that there is some staggeringly bad music.

This is where I differ rA, if people like any music it is good.
