Naïve Old Fart 9,533 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Fair enough. SPIN ME ROUND is an undiscovered gem of a Roxy track. You really should have included THE AIRCRASH BUREAU. REMIND ME TO SMILE wouldn't go amiss, either. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have heard this already, but I'll recommend it in case you haven't because I think you'd love it. Todd Terje is a Norwegian electronic artist who put out one of my favorite records of 2014. On that album was a cover of an old Robert Palmer song, wonderfully sung by Bryan Ferry. I really do think you'd love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my recollection, "Orient Express" was composed specifically for the concerts in China (similarly to "Fishing Junks at Sunset"), but has since been included on various compilations, like IMAGES.

Jay 37,364 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ugh. Just checked out the new Greta Van Fleet single "When The Curtain Falls" on Spotify, and it was bad! I like every single track on their "From The Fires" double-EP better than this. It's like they crossed the line from Zeppelin homage to Zeppelin parody! Spotify also had a 2-track live sessions "album", and it included a cover of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" that was pretty great, though! Speaking of Adele, SHE covered The Raconteur's Many Shades of Black a few years back, and it's quite good too! Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their initial 8-track double EP "From The Fires" is a solid rock and roll album, every track being a good and well-made song that are clearly inspired by Zeppelin and a few other bands, with their own little spin on it. The new "When The Curtain Falls" single is quite different, especially in the vocals; They are no longer calm and cool and serious, he's like yelling out like "OMG we're popular now, look how COOL we are do do this old style rock!" I was cringing at it. 7 hours ago, Koray Savas said: RE: Jack White i really love his hits and the stuff I’ve heard from him, but never really checked out any albums. Is there a place I should start?
