“…the small English town of Wiltshire.”

I live near Pangbourne - there’s not much else to do.

Some great ones - it’s a travesty that they morphed into the West Midlands premier wedding band.

I’m thankful not to have heard many of these, and I will certainly not be clicking on the videos. With respect to Bowie - I think the calls in the article are correct on Tonight. I often defend the album based on Loving the Alien and Blue Jean, but yes, his God Only Knows is terrible.

I was about to say the same.  I love the song and have both versions on a playlist.  I have to specifically listen for minor details to be sure of which one I’m listening to.

To be fair, I think Paul McCartney has more say in whether this is the last Beatles song than Peter Jackson does.

From what I can make out, common usage makes both acceptable, and style guides will generally pick one or the other to maintain consistency.

Some big omissions here, such as Roxy Music’s Jealous Guy, and although it’s not quite at the level of the original, I’m a big fan of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s version of Born to Run.

100% “Ross’s”.

It’s not a great video for all the reasons already given, but it has nice moments.  And the final shot had me in tears.

The Dreaming is the sound of an artist gaining complete artistic control and properly going for it, before learning that less can sometimes be more.

But neither Fun Boy Three nor Bananarama have been nominated.

Interesting that you went with the same adjective as me there - apparently 11 minutes earlier than me, although I don’t recall seeing your post before making mine! I’d say the Ninth Wave is what takes the album into the realms of utter genius, but the other side is as solid a run of songs that are both arty and highly …

The Dreaming is a ballsy call for best Kate Bush album.  It’s arguably the most out there, which is exciting in itself, but Hounds of Love is her master work.

Now?

I would say The Italian Job, but to be honest I’ve never seen the remake on principle.

As with the Wicker Man, in what world is a remake ever going to be 10% as good as the original? And certainly not as scary. As I’ve mentioned on other related threads, after the 1979 Salem’s Lot was shown on UK television, it was the subject of a letter sent in to a show called Points of View which aired around 8pm.…

Did that go for more than the cuckoo’s nest from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

Is it dusty in here?
