I don't have sound on here, so apologies in advance if it's poor, but I do like the song.

Subby - also a fan!  Did you by any chance go to the gig in the Waterfront Hall a couple of years ago?

I love this guy's voice and love the band and this song always brings tears to my eyes.

 Best Live Act.

RZB, I was full sure you were gonna say Take That

No.  I didn't even know they were performing.  Did you? I bet they're as good live.

all will be revealed,....I'm working through the decades. I'm up to the 70's. I'm told that was a great decade.....

Has it worked?

  Yeah, so I believe from those who remember it?

I did.  They were absolutely fantastic - and so much energy for a bunch of old geezers!     My mate emailed Kevin Cronin later that year to ask if he'd donate a pair of REO running shorts to her (she was doing the Great North Run in aid of McMillan nurses) and he sent her a lovely letter and a pair of shorts (which looked like knickers and she had to wear leggings under them!) with 'Speedwagon' across the butt!   Smashing guy.

there are some swear words, be warned

Somehow they look the kind of people who would do that....and they still reign as my favourite drive music ever (except I'm tempted to air guitar in parts....not as bad as with Boston though)

For RZB

I think I'm just pickin me fave songs now

whispers......post us some Simon & Garfunkel , Temps "thumbs up smiley"

*is mortified *

Nice one Fracas.One of the few post Richey tunes of theirs I have any time for

Best male singer, Lionel Richie

lights candle and sways....

I've got a wide range of musical likes, but best band and best singer, for me has to be The Wonder Stuff/Miles Hunt. A live gig by them or him alone is almost always perfection.

best singer? Local boy can still do it.

Again for RZB

Glenn Miller's band was pretty good.

I love Slim Whitman, especially Indian love call.(bet no one has heard of it)

I have it in my collection Mary.

If you like Glen miller you'll love Max.

I love Max Raabe.

Me too!

I also love Josef Locke, Im often heard singing  In some Abyssinian French Dominion I will do my bit (Goodbye)round the house. .

And fall for the flag if I must.
Where the desert sand is nice and handy,
I'll be full of grit
You won't see my heels for the dust.

Ah Mary - we are duetting. 

Im singing my head of here.

That was rather splendid Mary. Thanks

A bit of Bon Jovi or Oasis please, i'm no stranger to a bit of bass from the Prodigy or Basement Jaxx.

Favourite singers - Mary J Blige, Angie Stone, Erkah Badu, D'Angelo.


Bands - Massive Attack, Brand New Heavies

Aww, I love a bit of Lionel.
