Posted April 17, 200718 yr "The Chain" A Retro Connection Thread Taking "inspiration" from Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie's new show on Radio 2, I think it is worth trying this out on BuzzJack. All you have to do is follow one song in the thread with another by some connection with either the song or the artist. The connection can be as obvious (same song title, or cover of song by the same artist) or as personal and spurious as you like. However there are some basic rules: 1. No Song included can be after 1996. 2. No two consecutive songs are by the same Artist, although you could as an example follow a Smiths track with a Morrissey track. 3. You need to briefly explain the connection between one track and the next. 4. It's up to you whether you want to include a video or not with the track. I'll do the first example: Therefore starting off with: Fleetwood Mac - The Chain Dyyy0aWGGSw
April 17, 200718 yr Author Fleetwood Mac was a group containing (at the time) two long term relationships (John & Christine McVie & Lindsay Buckingham with Stevie Nicks which imploded during their time in the group), also the track was from 1977's Rumours album. Another act featuring two married couples was Abba who in 1977 had a UK#1 hit with..... Abba - Knowing Me Knowing You 06laCUpk6MA Who will carry on this Retro Connection Game Thread?
April 17, 200718 yr Ace of Base..................................."All that she wants" from 1993 A duo from Sweden the same country as Abba.
April 18, 200718 yr 'everything she wants'................ wham! another way of saying the same title by another 'married' couple! lol.
April 18, 200718 yr 'Everything She Wants' was the flip to Wham's 'Last Christmas'. 'Last Christmas' was ripped off in 2005 by Sugababes for 'Push The Button'. 'Push The Button' was an album by Chemical Brothers which lets you move on to... 'Leave Home' by the Chemical Brothers from back when they were good...i.e. before 1996, just like the rules state :D
April 18, 200718 yr Author .... The Chemical Brothers have featured a variety of different guest vocalists on their tracks including New Order's Bernard Sumner on Out Of Control. New Order was the band's second incarnation, originally they featured Ian Curtis and were known as Joy Division... ... which leads us to 0We9d5J3BLQ Joy Division - Atmosphere

Meh - I suppose you're right - you still had to flip the ye olde 7" though! Ok, obvious one...
