My Rainbow guilty pleasure.

First in stage. Thin Lizzy (early in their career).

Main Support. Suzi Quatro.

Headlining. The mighty Slade.

Interestingly I associate TW with it, but I don’t recall any singing! (I guess I’’m lucky!?)

Mike Sarne and Wendy Richards, Come Out Side. Released 5 years before I landed on this planet. Love it, always makes me smile.

The Seekers Come The Day album - pristine original UK COLUMBIA pressing - is in constant rotation around our way.

Guiltless pleasure all round. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :clinking_beer_mugs:

A few shamelessly uncool classics that are in constant rotation around our way…

As others have said… Good music is good music! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :clinking_beer_mugs:

Also now admit to:

Middle Of The Road - ‘Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep’……, on this thread quite a lot…..

Freda Payne - ‘Band of Gold’

The Mixtures - ‘The Pushbike Song’

Mungo Jerry - ‘In The Summertime’

Clive Dunn - ‘Grandad’

Terry Wogan with Brighouse&Rastrick Band - ‘Floral Dance’

Blue Mink - ‘Melting Pot’

Don Estelle and Windsor Davies - ‘Whispering Grass’

Also some charity shop finds by Peter’s & Lee, Andy Williams, Barbra Streisand, Tom Jones and Roger Whittaker. Some of the vinyl albums of crooners were recorded very well back in the day. Also Swingle II - ‘Windmills Of Your Mind’. That’s it, probably!

I may make a Qobuz playlist of some of this lot also……

Train whistle blowing
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys

Rockin’, rollin’, ridin’
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

I would not describe The Seekers as a guilty pleasure. Judith Durham had a wonderful voice.

Less a guilty pleasure more of a “where the heck did that come from?”

Anni DiFranco - Come away from it.

One of the great things about streaming and Qobuz is coming across suggestions from others and being able to try them out.

7:00am tomorrow in NZ England vs Argentina - not really a football fan but I will be watching and cheering on for the country of my birth….. Tom.

Endlessly fascinating artist. I don’t always love her stuff but there’s always something there.

As my son would say “my bad”

I just realised, I retired 7 years ago and since have never used a keyboard or a mouse, only a tablet……

I’m one year in but have been only using a tablet and occasional keyboard . I’ll never use a PC or laptop ever again. The tablet does literally everything I need.

Floral Dance - The one with Sir. Terry Wogan singing?

Taylor Swift; ‘We are never getting back together’.
Jack the volume, sit back and smile.

That’s a nice pic that I’ve not seen before.
