Great songs that you suddenly remember

Was just noodling around on the guitar earlier, and suddenly remembered “ Debris” by Ronnie Lane from the Faces Nod’s as good as a wink album.
Dug it out, as I realised how much I used to like it. What a track. Back when the other Ron and Rod were also at the top of their game imho.
It’s here if anyone else wants a listen -

Wrote it about his dad apparently. Think that is one of my all time favourite songs.

Written by Vince Clarke just before he left Depeche Mode! Offered it to them initially but they turned it down! Oh well.

Mind you, Moyet's original version is excellent and no one else has done it justice like she did/still does in my opinion.

Great song. Am I alone in believing The Flying Pickets version is the best?

A lyrical masterclass.

In the dim and distant past I used to listen to the likes of Luther Vandross and George Benson (yes, ok, I know!).

Heard two of their tracks recently and it took me back..........

Luther Vandross: 'So Amazing'
George Benson: 'The Greatest Love of All (brilliant, original version).

Great vocals by Rod Stewart.

Around the time of An Old Raincoat... and Gasoline Alley, Rod was one of our greatest blues singers and The Faces complemented him perfectly.

You've got to go some bettering Alison Moyet singing anything.

Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds. I can't remember what programme but it was randomly plonked on something last week. It took me back to a great free lunch-time gig Rockpile did in The Three Tuns bar at the LSE around 1978. Pub rock as an art form.

"I know that she knows that I know......" by The Kersaall Flyers.

insane lyrics. " I knew she had seen me 'cause she dropped her bikini"

NorthStandUltra

Friday on my Mind - Easybeats, proper fun pop song, give it a listen

Algarveaddick

Never let her slip away - Andrew Gold. Cheerful, shuffling, easy listening from my childhood.

SoundAsa£

Six-a-bag-of-nuts
