WTH??? I heard this on a TV program yesterday - and had no idea what it was - other than it was the unmistakable voice of Kate Bush. How could I have not bought this record at the time and how could I have completely forgotten it???

An absolutely ball-bouncingly beautiful song. Wow! A voice that can cut glass, and can bring a grown man to tears, a voice that is almost too beautiful to describe.

The piano accompanying that beautiful voice at the start is remarkable enough - and the lyrics catch the attention, but at 1:21 the track starts to move into gear as the piano is joined by another instrument (I don't know what it is), there is a mini-crescendo and then at 1:49 the track eases back once again - but this is just the prelude for a sort of choral addition at 2:18, before, at 2:44 this incredible vocal just hits perfection as she produces a kind of high pitched chant as a background to her main vocal.

Hence my reaction - WTH?? I was genuinely shocked when I heard it. It was instantly recognisable as Kate Bush - but I could not place it and certainly never owned it. Shocking I know, I can only ask for your forgiveness and am just glad I 'found' this track.

Well, I forgive you of course. Your otherwise exemplary service to this thread mitigates the horror stemming from a momentary lack of attention committed 20 yeas ago and every subsequent year thereafter.

Dusted off my venerable Rega Planar 3 turntable and thought to try out how�d Making Movies LP (remember them) by Dire Straits would sound after all these years.

Romeo and Juliet, Expresso Love, Les Boys, ...

Marvellous stuff. Why did we give up on vinyl, again?

To remember Lauda I�m listening to �Rush - OST� by Hans Zimmer. Incredibly pulse pounding.

Lost But Won - Hans Zimmer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPpp3e-PpAE

This has to be one of greatest tracks from a film ever. The sombre strings at the start are suitably depressing, evoking some bitter memories of Grand Prix racing around that time. The music then takes off and becomes a very stirring piece, perfect for thinking of the cars of the time travelling at speed piloted by their brave and skilful pilots.

To my mind the real genius of this track is the constant throb in the background - Zimmer has produced a kind of metallic sound that puts one in mind of pistons going ten to the dozen. These cars were fast - they were out-growing many of the tracks, they were wonderfully noisy - a total assault on the eardrums, they were crude - no carbon fibre, much less Kevlar in those days, smelly - ah that delicious smell of a Grand Prix weekend, hotdogs and burgers meets petrol, oil and grease! and provided a driver with all the protection of a wet paper bag - that was liable to ignite if it so much as looked at a crash barrier....

To get in one you had to be some kind of special person.....

I have a huge collection of late sixties very early seventies music that you'll love it this sort of thing is your bag.

Message me. I have near 300 albums on my PC a fast majority from that period.

When it comes to Floyd I'm only into Dark side and before. Definitely not into The Wall onwards.

hi wodin,

i grew up listening to sixties/seventies pop music. it started off by watching the monkees on tv when I was in single digits. I used to buy 45's and later moved onto albums.. anyone remember 8 track cassettes? my brother used to buy those. then came regular cassette tapes and then cd's and now mp3's. over the years, I've bought the same music on all those different media types :-)

best wishes to all

Nice! I didn't know they'd done a cover of that song.

I saw them on their Bad Animals tour in 1987 or 1988 - very good they were too!

My favourite song from that album

Heart - I want you so bad

I've never seen heart before but I did see the led zeppelin tour back in 1977. my good friend was a huge zep fan so I ended up giving him my ticket stub.
I was only 14 and ended up with my ears ringing the next day in school. it was my very first concert so of course I will always remember. I'm pretty sure they were supporting their live album/movie 'the song remains the same'. A few months later I saw Jethro tull in the same venue (myriad arena in Oklahoma city, ok) and was very impressed by the sound system. Huge difference.

Love early Led Zeppelin. Up to the fourth album

Keith Moon first heard their first album he apparently said he Led Zeppelin, they are going to go down like a Led Zeppelin! Wonder if he liked it but thought public wouldn't, just didn't like it or just being sarcastic.

For me on the whole music died between 83 and 88. Until the likes of Stone Roses and Happy Mondays came along. Then for the States until Nirvana shook things up and finally put to bed the soft rock power ballad of the cheesy guitar stuff like The Final Countdown. All the great musicians except a few like Iggy Pop and Bowie seemed to loose it in the eighties with horrible mainstream meh! Some like Robert Plant not getting it together until the nineties (in an interview he said he hates the stuff he did in the eighties and it's embarrassing, he even embarrassed about his look then aswell).
