Jay 37,473 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Lately I've been enjoying the debut solo album from Hayley Williams, the lead singer of Paramore I randomly checked it out via Youtube Music, and found that when playing the album there, a music video for EVERY track plays alongside the tracklist... apparently she shot a video for every track on the album? Has anyone done this before? I'm not complaining, she's easy on the eyes! https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mibTRYt9JMx5WI55xAVO4mtMmE5Bzpx7c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,447 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My favourite Simple Minds song always was and is "Alive and Kicking", probably because it is their grooviest song. Apart from that Simple Minds were never groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
