I just heard Frankie Goes To Hollywood doing 'Born To Run'. I never even knew it existed. It shouldn't. :shaking:

The Elvis originals were the best.

Phil Collins - You can't hurry love.
Utterly disgusting.

I'd rather listen to Alvin & The Chipmunks version of Devo's "Whip it!".

Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

Pray you never have to.

Apparently Island made them do it.

For the love of Jesus.

Oh dear... I just listened to Colin Blunstone's cover of Levi Stubbs Tears...my memory needs to be purged of the last 4 minutes.

I've never heard of Colin Blunstone but that is one song that should be left the fuck alone right. Especially by people who I havent heard of.

Colin is lead singer with the Zombies, superb voice on She's Not There. Not heard him do that track though.

Colin Blunstone is amazing - I love all of his early stuff, as well as his comeback tracks in the 70's.

I don't like much of Alan Parson's stuff with the exception of Pyramid, Colin Blunstone's vocals make that a stunning album.

I saw him a few years ago - getting on a bit, and very frail.

Worth checking out tho.

I love his voice, I'm a huge Zombies fan, but God, that cover....although obviously his voice is a bit better than Billy's :wink: the cover is just dire.
