I got a kick out of this comment

As a teenager I heard this song on the radio and decided to attend a live Kiss concert in New Orleans. I had not heard any of the group's other songs nor had I seen their photo. It was a grand surprise when, we were seated near the giant speakers and the flames. What an experience. Named my second child Beth.

No one was cooler than Ricky Nelson. Garden Party was an absolute favorite.

When Alcatrazz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatrazz (with Graham Bonnet) released an album
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Innocent_(Alcatrazz_album) in 2020, 34 years after the previous album,
it featured guitarist Joe Stump on this track (bringing back some Yngwie Malmsteen vibes from the first album)

Alcatrazz - London 1666 (Official Video)


Too bad this line-up didn't last long.
Alcatrazz and Graham Bonnet parted ways,

I stumbled upon Ningen Isu about 5 years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningen_Isu

They've been around since the late 1980s and have a Black Sabbath vibe.
I've always liked this song (although I don't understand Japanese) and the solo.

(2016) NINGEN ISU / Great king of terror (人間椅子 / 恐怖の大王)

Classic Motown. Wiklpedia says soul pop. Chatgpt got it correct

I've been a fan of Enya since forever. But when Don Pelletier's Enya remixes came out I was electrified. Orinoco Flow 2020 - Enya - (Trance Remix) is a particularly favorite remix. I wondered where this event took place, assuming it was someplace in Europe due to the display of many European country flags, though there were some outside of Europe, as well. I posed the question in the comment section and several said Tomorrowland.

An Oldie but Goldie favorite, Jimmy Jones: Good Timin'

The love interest has the wedge-shaped head typical of Ukrainians. You see this a lot in British Columbia.

Note that in this song he threatens his lover with death.

A fun story...
There is some interesting history regarding this song, the video and the album.
The computer graphics in the video was groundbreaking at the time and the album is among the first that was released on CD. A fun coincidence is that Mark Knopfler imagined having Sting singing backing vocals/duet and it so happened that Sting was close by when they were recording (see the second clip below for some more history about the song).

The song:


The story: The story of Money for Nothing is weirder than you thought

 

[DennisN]

Timeless

The version I know.

A classic top-notch song.

Two guilty pleasures of mine (sort of)...
Though I don't feel particularly guilty about liking them, they're just in a style I don't listen to very often (tropical house/electropop), but I really like these songs (artist: Goldroom).
Very relaxing, easy on the ears, well written and nicely produced.

Goldroom - Fifteen


Goldroom - Embrace

Gosh, this is a great song (and a cool video):

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

 

[DennisN]

Just magnificent...
...the buildup, the vocals, the drums in the chorus along with the distorted guitar in the background...
...just lovely .

Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out

 

[DennisN]

I've always adored this song ever since it first came, and I still do.
Great suggestive feeling, wonderful harmonies, wonderful melodies, lovely vocals.
Perfect. Just perfect.

Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow

I just discovered this song "What I'd Say" by Barbara Lynn & Clarence Brown

. Not much saxaphones these days, too difficult to play?

 

[difalcojr]

The demand isn't there. One or more mouth to feed.
