Serious??? Out of all the music recorded in the history of the world, you have time to listen to [i]that[/i]?
Bizarre. Utterly bizarre.
I'll leave it there! ๐Ÿ™‚

As I said, Can't Stop Loving You is one of the finest pop/love songs written. Orchard Road one of the most moving, plaintive and utterly heart-rending narratives on the aftermath of an affair.

Then you've got the likes of When I Need You, Heart Stop Beating in Time etc... He may be considered a bit kitch (no doubt thanks to things like Long Tall Glasses and One Man Band) but I genuinely think he produced some brilliant love songs.

And what about disco classics like Thunder in My Heart and You Make Me Feel Like Dancing... I tell ya, genius... ;o)

Well, being a country fan (amongst other things) it would have to be,

George Jones-He stopped loving her today
Kathy Mattea- Where have you been?
Marty Robbins- El Paso (guy rides back into certain death and a hail of gunfire to see his girl one more time)all say aaaaaah. ๐Ÿ™„

And, Jim Reeves-I wont forget you,(played at my nans funeral)

Shibboleth. You are putting me in an impossible position here. On the one hand - Something Changed was my wife and my wedding song, so I have to say you have impeccable taste.

And then, on the other hand.........

[edited for self pedantry: Is it correct to say my wife and my wedding song? My wedding song would be correct. My wife's wedding song is correct. Are 'My wife and I' an item such that My wife and I's weddings song ('s for possession, it's our song) is better english? Help!]

" if you don't want to * me baby, baby * off" by Janye County and the Electric Chairs.

That should be Wayne County & The Electric Chairs. He recorded it before his sex change. I actually saw him at Reading after a very wet week left the area in front of the stage a muddy lake. The Doobie Bros roadies had to cover their kit with plastic sheets to protect it from the hail of mud and bottles that rained down on the hapless Mr County. He managed two songs, the second one the above mentioned, before being forced off the stage. It was a year or two later he became Jayne.
