See my above quote on "COS" and give it a chance. On 21 March 2016 at 3:27 PM, Alexcremers said: Those are the unproggy Genesis albums that were looking for ways to enter the pop charts. A lot of Genesis fans look down upon them. I certainly don't look down upon "Fading Lights", and "Since I Lost You" (possibly the saddest Genesis song, ever).

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Bob Mould just put out a new album yesterday that sounds really cool on my first listen. I was never a big Husker Du fan, even back in my more punk-rock-lovin' days, but his solo stuff of the past 5 years is just really cool guitar power pop.

Bespin 8,484 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Charles Aznavour will never stop to amaze me. He certainly have the most complex discography in history. One day, it will have to be challenged and documented, really! The french original songs, their multiples versions, alternates ones... and all the versions of his songs he recorded in english, german, italian and spanish.. using sometimes the instrumental track from the original french versions, but also often using brand new orchestrations.. and then again for each of them multiples versions and unreleased ones... The half of the non-french songs are still unreleased on CD and can only be found on singles and LPs. This is so complicated to have access to all this stuff... internationaly! There is actually 1 217 entries in my songs catalog!!!http://www.goplanete.com/aznavour/catalogue/catalogue.htm Someday I will go nuts! Here's an example using 4 of his most iconic songs, all of them are studio versions.

Well, Aznavour like Bécaud (and they worked togheter on some songs), are Singer-Songwriter. For me a variety signer, is like Joe Dassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
