A bit obvious this one, but I heard it recently & was really impressed by the musicality.
Nuff respect to Nick Beggs on the bass.

"Quintessential"

I saw the reformed band live years and years ago. It was so clear that they still all hated Limahl, nothing but extreme passive aggression on stage.

This is shit, but every now and then it pops into my head

Just because it's peak 80s

The Beastie Boys chasing Madonna around on stage with squirt guns, 1985.

I like how their pre Kajagoogoo band are to 1981 what Kajagoogoo were to 1983. Absolute chancers

Not really into this but what a strange song to get onto top of the pops.
And Moya Brennan was/is a fine lookin woman.

Saw John Paul Jones from Zeppelin play in belfast years ago and Nick Beggs played the Chapman stick with him.

Great gig

Spent a gruelling 5 hours in the back of a bus with one of the twins. He was pissed out of his mind. Dead now.

(that last bit is not related to the preceding bits)

He pays with neo-prog Steven Wilson these days

It's weird when musicians you've previously dismissed, or not considered at all, turn out to be really good at what they do. See Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet is now in Nick Madon's Saucerful of Secrets. No mean feat doing Dave Gilmour's bits.

I bet all the Marillion fans hate this. Kudos to the guitarist. Really nice playing on this.

One of those songs where you know the chorus but have zero memory of the rest of it.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

There ain't many pop bands that can play like these guys. (probably because they're jazz funkers)
I love the verse melody. Notes carefully chosen. But loads of spaces.
