November 27, 20222 yr ^^ I would second those but swap Roy Orbison for London Boys (which was my first album :lol: :wub: ) I'd also second You Keep It All In by the Beautiful South, Souvenir by OMD or Kate Bush This Woman's Work Edit - just realise my plea wasn't even released in this period :lol:
November 27, 20222 yr my suggestions Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face (or Rebel Yell or White Wedding) Kate Bush - This Woman's Work OMD - Enola Gay

And I guess 'Requiem' being played will be a memorable moment :kink: Discoveries aside, also loved getting to play 2 excellent Erasure songs :heart: On the flipside, I could have gone without hearing that Holly Johnson solo track, and a bit of a stinker from Paul McCartney too whoops.
November 30, 20222 yr Author An RIP slot on the way for Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. </3 Thinking 'Songbird' maybe?
November 30, 20222 yr Songbird would be a lovely choice - or Landslide maybe which is even better imo
November 30, 20222 yr Landslide was sang by Stevie Nicks ^ Songbird is lovely anyhow so would welcome a play of that.
November 30, 20222 yr Author 'Dreams' was already played (and yes I was suggesting 'Songbird' because it was written and sung by Christine, but of course open to any other suggestions x)
November 30, 20222 yr Oh! I always assumed Landslide was sung by Christine as it just sounds like her kind of song… but yes if that was Stevie then Songbird would be obviously better!
November 30, 20222 yr Ps Bré I will not be having you pretending that you weren’t bopping like your rave cat gif to London Boys
December 1, 20222 yr Dreams was written and sung by Stevie Nicks and already played. Songbird is the obvious choice - RIP Christine
December 4, 20222 yr With the England match starting at 7pm, could we maybe just have the number 1s up to about 6.30 and then number 2s finishing before 7.00?
December 4, 20222 yr Author I don't really want to do shorter sessions - I could maybe start an hour earlier if there's a great demand for people to focus on the England match but people seem to have been fine with multitasking when football has been on during these sessions before. (though a bit short notice for that now)
December 4, 20222 yr Author Prepared the week 10 playlist now, 42 more albums covered this week taking us up to April 1992 (and we finish on a more established artist this time, hooray). Hope we like classical music because it seems to have been a bit of a fad in the early 90s. This week's #2 albums for bonus suggestions: 1990 Violator - Depeche Mode Life - Inspiral Carpets Through a Big Country: Greatest Hits - Big Country I’m Breathless - Madonna Between the Lines - Jason Donovan Summer Dreams - The Beach Boys Blaze of Glory - Jon Bon Jovi X - INXS No Prayer for the Dying - Iron Maiden Rocking All Over the Years - Status Quo Behaviour - Pet Shop Boys Choke - The Beautiful South Serious Hits Live - Phil Collins Forever Your Girl - Paula Abdul 1991 All True Men - Alexander O’Neal Into the Light - Gloria Estefan Vagabond Heart - Rod Stewart Joyride - Roxette Real Life - Simple Minds Gold Mother - James The Best of The Waterboys 81-90 - The Waterboys Time, Love & Tenderness - Michael Bolton Electronic - Electronic Fellow Hoodlums - Deacon Blue Greatest Hits - The Jam Use Your Illusion I - Guns N Roses Diamonds and Pearls - Prince Simply the Best - Prince Tina Turner Achtung Baby - U2 1992 Seven - James Tears Roll Down: Greatest Hits 82-92 - Tears for Fears Lucky Town - Bruce Springsteen
December 4, 20222 yr Author I kinda want to make a rare self suggestion to play Big Country - In A Big Country from their greatest hits, as it's a tune that I'm not sure many people know based on when I brought it up when playing a song from their actual #1 album. (Only if someone seconds that suggestion though x) Don't all rush to nominate Rod Stewart...
