February 10, 20232 yr That could be OK for me though we’re already over 4 hours. :lol: Or could have say 3 tracks this week and more in the coming weeks - a gradual tribute could also be effective.
February 10, 20232 yr but is he worth such tribute, I don't particularly rate any of his songs if someone like Madonna dies, what you gonna do? a whole day tribute? ;)
February 10, 20232 yr Why don’t we limit it to five tracks for an RIP Hall of Famer haha So if someone like Madonna or Paul McCartney dies, we know we’ve got to choose five tracks to play. That doesn’t sound too excessive? I think Burt Bacharach definitely fits into that category as a “RIP hall of famer” but let’s limit it to five tracks?
February 12, 20232 yr Author Covering 46 albums this week bringing us to July 2006. That may be an alarming date but don't worry, we're not finishing on that album. That'll be the penultimate one. (I wouldn't have played a second song from it next week anyway). I'll be playing an instrumental version of the song from it and maybe a bonus track from the version of the band without its singer. x This week's #2 albums: 2005 Pushing the Senses - Feeder Mezmerize - System of a Down In Your Honour - Foo Fighters Supernature - Goldfrapp Late Registration - Kanye West A Bigger Bang - The Rolling Stones Have a Nice Day - Bon Jovi Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection - Take That Keep On - Will Young 2006 Employment - Kaiser Chiefs The Back Room - Editors Keys to the World - Richard Ashcroft Inside In, Inside Out - The Kooks I'm still unsure what to do with the suggestion of playing multiple songs for Burt Bacharach. I know he was a legendary songwriter but I can't say I really love many of the songs people have mentioned from him :kink: I think my favourite from the list Ed posted would be 'Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa'. (I am going to start at the normal time btw)
February 12, 20232 yr Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot Editors - Lights [non-single, also happy with Munich] The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way There was a compilation programme of Burt Bacharach songs on BBC Four on Friday, so maybe an extended tribute here feels a bit excessive after that. I don't think Trains And Boats And Planes which is credited to Burt himself was one of them though.
February 12, 20232 yr Kooks - Naive Editors - Munich Richard Ashcroft - Paint the night with colour Edited February 12, 20232 yr by Bjork
February 12, 20232 yr Kaiser Chiefs - Every Day I Love You Lees And Less (also happy with IPAR) Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way Foo Fighters - Best Of You Will Young - Who Am I
February 12, 20232 yr I’d suggest just limiting the Burt tribute to three songs then with I say a little prayer, walk on by and twenty four hours from tulsa as those seem to be the most popular of what hasn’t already been a number one. any more than that seems a bit excessive. I’d second I predict a riot and she moves in her own way too
February 12, 20232 yr Editors - Munich Will Young - Who Am I Goldfrapp - Number One / Ride a White Horse Kanye - Touch the Sky
February 12, 20232 yr Ooh this week for bonuses is wonderful *.* gonna have to be awkward and go over three Foo Fighters - Best of You Goldfrapp - Ooh La La or Ride a White Horse Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot Editors - Munich Kooks - Naive or She Moves In Her Own Way As for Burt, he was a bit before my time so I don't have any big favorites, I would advocate for Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, Close to You, I Say a Little Prayer and Walk on By.
February 12, 20232 yr Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot The Kooks - Naïve Will Young - Who Am I Maybe 3-5 Burt songs - 'I Say A Little Prayer', 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head' and 'Trains And Boats And Planes' are my personal favourites
February 12, 20232 yr This is the first week I have no suggestions for the number 2s. I don't know any of them. I think two should be the maximum for any RIP but don't mind if we go over that.
February 12, 20232 yr ^agree I'd say even 2 is too much but yes don't bother me either, I'm never there for the extra songs although I take the playlist and listen during the week, I have to admit in my opinion the extra songs was better in the past, now it's a bit too much sometimes and it's a chore to listen to
February 12, 20232 yr I think keep it to two songs in tribute too tbh. Someone can always do another full session in tribute separately if they wish. Will be late to the session today unfortunately but will have a look over bonuses.
February 12, 20232 yr Editors- Munich Kanye- Diamonds From Sierra Leone Kaiser Chiefs- I Predict A Riot Kooks- She Moves In Her Own Way Goldfrapp- Ride A White Horse or Ooh La La Richard Ashcroft- Break The Night With Colour Feeder- Feeling A Moment Oop that’s quite a lot, must be a strong selection of #2s lol.

Those are mandatory listens).
February 12, 20232 yr FWIW, I agree with Dan’s suggestion for Burt tributes. 3 is good and those he mentioned are all solid
