You know, it occurs to me that while I do not hate Elton John, and in fact there are a fair number of songs of his that when they come on the radio I don't reflexively lunge to change the station, I have nonetheless never owned one of his albums or sat under the headphones listening to one for pleasure.
Not a criticism, just an observation.
In any case, as usual a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans its relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
Not holding my breath, though.
Songs about air travel
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea, but no.
ReplyDelete:-)
Singer-songwriters with the stature of Paul Williams.
ReplyDeleteYou did give Blue Moves a favorable notice in Stereo Review, however; you thought it lachrymose as hell, but also unusually honest and rather touching. (I think. I don't know, it's a long time ago.)
ReplyDeleteSongs that reference clouds or the sky?
jeff
bands with chick drummers?
ReplyDeleteor perhaps bands that you want to hate but dont ??
I like the "band you want to hate but don't"
ReplyDeleteBest songs with music written by the performing artist or group, but with lyrics written by a 3rd party.
Or, best songs or group that happen to have a biblical name or allusion
ReplyDeleteThe He Aint Heavy list of songs referencing brothers?
ReplyDeleteSteve, the albums through Captain Fantastic were released on SACD and sound marvelous! The first album is ok, and I did not purchase Captain, but the rest I really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAfter that, he drives me nuts.

Electric piano ditties?
ReplyDeleteSongs with lyrics about eyes?
Songs about missing?
Despite the bad audio, it is really a very nice tune and mature lyric.

Okay -- that's in fact it.
And the judges decision is that the first ever Joint Coveted PowerPop No-Prize goes to both of you.
I salute you, despite your pernicious influence!!!

And your prizes are heading out to you via Shiba Inu sled train as we speak.
BTW --
ReplyDeleteDid I really give "Blue Moves" a good review back in the day?
I have absolutely no memory of it whatsoever...
