Madge has put out some classy tunes in her time. I like this one:

Not fond of the synthetic bass but this is a terrific song, performed with commendable energy.

Some members may remember the old 'Basement' section in TNMS, where adult topics were discussed. Well - we have a similar-themed 'NSFW' board here at BTW now. It's not visible to guests or the membership in general and at the moment it's completely empty, but ping me a message (or reply here if you prefer) and I'll add you to the group that has access.

Thanks!

Well this is encouraging

Interesting one.

I would say so.

It's unfortunate that such a brilliant writer and performer spent so much time fannying around with the studio technology. Best tune on that album of course, I assume most people would agree, is A Dream Goes On Forever - my favourite version is here on the BBC special from forty years ago.


.. about 31 mins in.

I did record it to VHS all those years ago but my idiot brother either lost it or recorded over it. You can get it on DVD but last time I checked, it was extortionate.

Ah well, at least it's on YouTube.

On the live material:

"Would you say that this automatically becomes possibly the greatest Rush live album ever released?"

"I don't think there's any question"

By the way the bearded chap playing the Telecaster in that video is John Farrar. He didn't write Let Me Be The One but he did write You're The One That I Want and Hopelessly Devoted To You for the Grease film a couple of years later.

Nice little earner.

And while we're on that subject, I've always quite liked this. This was the UK entry at the same Eurovision. This particular clip isn't from the actual competition though.

I love Eurovision as well. It's a beautiful celebration of the nations of Europe united in fraternity, common purpose and shared values. Never fails to prompt a sentimental tear.

To be honest I don't really feel guilty about any music that I like, but I do like some tunes that might be considered embarrassing by some.

Here's a belter - a perfect pop tune that's actually very harmonically interesting. The winner of the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest, and the best Eurovision tune ever by far. Even Waterloo can't touch it.


If you've watched the video all the way through and you haven't got a crush on Getty Kaspers, there's something wrong with you. I do include any female readers in that assessment.

What dy think of that album??

I think it's brilliant in parts but like a lot of his earlier stuff, a bit self-indulgent and unfocussed. Overlong. Have to be in the right mood for it. I never listen to the whole thing all at once, I must admit.
