Oddly I've been fond of Whatever for many years, but agree Half The World Away is also a great song.

Queen had a difficult time recording their Hot Space album & the quality of the A sides suffered, but the B sides oddly seemed to be stronger than normal so Las Palabras de Amor (The...

The first year I was allowed to stay up late was 1987 & I've managed it every year since. Usually my family would go to to one of Aunts & Uncle house, but occasionally we would host things. Since I've moved to a place of my own I've just done something with whoever was in my life at the time,...

My Dad liked a lot of 1970s-80s soft rock that could be classed as yacht rock. Steely Dan seemed to get a reputation for being quality music by the early 1990s, with their songs being regularly played by late nigh DJs wanting to sound like musos. Van Morrison received similar treatment even though...

When my sister had a clearout of DVDs a few years ago I picked up a copy of Fame. I was surprised at how gritty it was in places, specially when Coco does some topless modelling. Also having a gay character was quite daring in the early 1980s, though it was in that small period of acceptance before...
