Sorry, too much thought required....I can't play

Am a fan of "David Live," but mainly for the reason that I was there...LOL. Sound quality sucks compared to modern live recordings, but, what the hey...As for studio work, I agree with the recommendations of Ziggy , Hunky Dory, and Alladin Sane (God, I miss Mick Ronson....enjoyed his work ...

OK, I'll toss in my $0.02 (or perhaps, my "too senseless,"but I digress...) I vote for EC's live cover of Burt Bacharach/Hal David's "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" from the Live Stiffs lp from oh so many years ago. Dunno if it qualifies for this thread, but I always l...

I don't care for Blunt....he's a major bore, and I cannot, for the life of me, understand his popularity - it alarms me !!!!

Oh god, James Blunt? two "interesting" things. 1. I read that he changed the spelling of his name from "Blount" to "Blunt" because Americans didn't know how to pronouce it...I live next door (and I believe OS owns property in) Blount County which is pronounced....well,...

New Boots and Panties - Ian Dury and the Blockheads

The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle -- da Boss (perhaps my fave Springsteen lp)

I dunno...... I have nothing to add to this thread, but....I MUST say, that EC's "wordplay" is what made me fall in love with his songwriting. Clever, sharp-witted, sometimes stinging, sometimes corny - wh cares ??? It was (and is) a breath of fresh air in terms of the music world in gener...
