Love the Cimmarons! One of my favourite songs ever

 

Edited April 6, 20188 yr by yorkleyblue

Nice version, but I still prefer Jimmy Cliff's original. Here's another one by the Cimarons:

 

Taken from their gig in '91. An absolutely outstanding show and I could listen to it all day.

Miss you, Hutch.

Bruce Springsteen's Thunder Road.

Okay, so I'm a Springsteen fan. However I found this song again recently.

 

The Alarm. 'Rain in the summertime', from 1987.

Sade with 'Smooth Operator'.

What a great voice.

New Arctic Monkeys album out today. Wouldn't get too excited, it's a bit sh*t.

That's a shame but not unexpected.

Such a great little band when they first formed. First two albums were brilliant. But once they started to get influenced by Josh Homme / Queens of the Stoneage, it's been downhill from there.

It sounds like an album Alex Turner should have done solo or with The Last Shadow Puppets. The problem with releasing this with Arctic Monkeys is everyone is obviously comparing it to their previous albums. The new one sounds just like Bowie's older stuff, which in its own right isn't shocking. Its just people have certain expectations with Arctic Monkeys and they haven't been reached here.

'Sade' with 'Your Love is King'.

This time, live in 2011.

And still asking if you want fries with that somewhere in the south-east :)

 

 

 

 

Sorry, just taking the piss.  The Diamond Life album is in my record box still.  Loved it.

It’s inspired me to listen to the first two albums again and remember when they were good. 

 

Been at Neighborhood Weekender festival all weekend so listened to a lot of good acts.

Courteeners and DMA's were brilliant as always however Noel Gallagher was a massive disappointment, seems to be getting worse every time i see him now.

A few others that were brilliant were Gerry Cinnamon, The Magic Gang, Red Faces and The Night Cafe. Smaller bands but definitely worth a listen if anyone gets a chance.

Dream Academy: 'Life in a Northern Town' from early 1984

 

Chuck Berry with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

'Johnny B. Goode'

Johnny Cash singing 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'.

Great rendition.

As its 4th July, American Independence Day.

Simon and Garfunkel - 'Bridge over Troubled Water' performed Live in Central Park.
