November 4, 2024Nov 4 Author 0 points Seal - The Beginning Chart peak: 24 Dandy score: 6/10 Seal is the only artist that Trevor Horn has stuck with so he has nine songs in this rate. The Beginning was the third single taken from his debut album. rEL0Wq9kX7c
November 4, 2024Nov 4 The chorus is much stronger than the verses on that one. It’s kinda chaotic and feels very of its time now.
November 4, 2024Nov 4 Author 0 points Pato Banton with Sting - Spirits In The Material World Chart peak: 36 Dandy score: 2/10 Pato Banton's cover of the 1981 song by The Police was recorded for the soundtrack to 'Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls'. He later re-recorded the song without Sting for his greatest hits album in 2008 and that was the only version I could find on Spotify. btQTd6Sm8Dc

November 4, 2024Nov 4 Tina Turner was reasonably close for me, it was pretty decent and better than I was expecting as I'm not usually a huge fan of her music
November 5, 2024Nov 5 I should have included my chart positions for some of these - but sadly most of them are 90's tracks from years I havent digitised yet :lol: Grenfell got nowt, though, from me, 10/10 for being worthy, 1/10 musically.
November 5, 2024Nov 5 Author 0 points Seal - I'm Alive Chart peak: 4 Dandy score: 6/10 This was part of a double A side single with the re-issued Kiss From A Rose which I think got all the airplay so it's not really well known. b3_Qel-QCuE
November 5, 2024Nov 5 I'm Alive was such an odd choice of AA from the second Seal album, it's one of my least favourites on what is actually a pretty strong record.
November 5, 2024Nov 5 Author 0 points Simple Minds - This Is Your Land Chart peak: 13 Dandy score: 5/10 Simple Minds' follow-up to their number 1 single 'Belfast Child' featured Lou Reed as a guest vocalist. GqpAY2OBJzc
