May 7th 2013 03:34
The Who, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Best, Elvis, Aretha, Pop Music, Compilation, Beach Boys
When it all boils down to it, a great song doesn't have to be anything other than 'it just is'.


When you hear a great song it takes the emotions of a moment and holds it for years to come

Roy Orbison sang about them. Fleetwood Mac did likewise. The Romantics REO Speedwagon and Bobby Darin chimed in as well.

Even Selena and Van Halen had a crack

Just for the Record . . .

As sad as it sounds, even pre-pubescent boys have their own version of singing into hairbrushes and picturing themselves on stage to the strains of screaming adulation and marauding fans.

It was around June 1977 and I'd just forked out $6.99 for a copy of The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl - a live album featuring songs by The Beatles compiled from two live performances at the Hollywood Bowl during August 1964 and August 1965

A genius-studded decade of punk, glam, disco and classic rock from Elton John to the Sex Pistols, the Buzzocks to Leonard Cohen - musically the 70s had it all - or did it?

Entertainment portal NME has released its list of the 100 Best Tracks of the 70s - agree or disagree, there's certainly no end of brilliance in the line-up

Music To Muse By

We all have either songs or albums which have helped define metaphorical lines in our lives.

No matter your age - music has an uncanny ability to attach itself to experiences and places, both real and imagined you've traversed - musical pilgrimages are where the memories take you. Music is a total constant

The Top 5 Memorable TV Moments Ever

April 4th 2013 23:34

While I was surfing the web the other day I stumbled on what I regarded as a gallant but sadly ill defined list of the Top 5 Memorable TV Moments Ever!
