Tina Turner RIP

Sad news. River Deep and Nutbush City Limits are great enough to nullify the 80s and 90s cheese.

Cheers for this, good listen..

Rolf Harris disgraced artist and singer dead at 93. Won't be many losing sleep over this one.

All the very best Doc, sorry it's late.

I will listen to 8 seconds of SWANS in your honour.

Happy birthday dear fellow.

Andy Rourke of the Smiths dead at 59. Pancreatic cancer.

I kind of like the muddled production. I swore there was fuzz effect on the bass when I was listening in the car and loved it.

All the very best mate for the big six zero.

George Michael was pretty big also. Indeed he was. When I think of artists like Madonna, George Michael, maybe even Prince - I think of something like Michael's track "I Want Your Sex" and how it entered the cultural hive mind in a way that got all sorts of people debating it and what it meant.

All kinds of vote shifting going on. It's been tied, Beatles have been up by 2, DC5 have been up by 2. The work of the same Swans/KISS poll prankster?

I noticed too. Not my work. Maybe The new posts have attracted new votes.

It's a little crazy to remember what a big deal Madonna was in the mid-80's to maybe mid-90's: Like a Virgin at the MTV Video Awards, the Pepsi thing with Like a Prayer, the Sean Penn wedding, Dick Tracy and Warren Beatty, the Sex book, Vogue.
