I never actually hear the lyrics in the chorus, just those glorious harmonised guitars!

Guilty is an amazing tune; probably brought the curtain down on Barry’s ‘absolutely on fire’ period.

I was just giggling at the picture of Seamus Moore and my wife asked what I was laughing at.

Showed her and she looked really bemused and asked in all seriousness why I was laughing at a picture of her uncle Keith.

Same haircut and nose apparently.

All the classic/driving rock. All of it.

Also Springsteen, who remains the only artist that my whole family has gone to see together.

These are the main ones that spring to mind:

Also have really vivid memories of listening to this from my parent’s record collection over and over when I was about 5:

I tried listening to this 10-15 years back when everyone was talking about it (did the main guy make a comeback and go on tour or something)? Anyway it just felt like I was listening to a wildly insincere pisstake of 60s music. I knew it was serious but all I could think of was the worst bits of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds and Austin Powers. Consequently I’ve never got past the opening tracks.

That sounds like the rarest Pink Floyd fan ever.

My mum changed up her music tastes a lot over the 80s. She would play stuff like Philip Glass and Steve Reich - some of which I liked and some I thought was highly irritating. In general the ‘big’ albums I recall (most of which I still love) are:

Peter Gabriel - So
Paul Simon - Graceland
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing (a best of but definitely the one mum played most)
Judie Tzuke - I Am the Phoenix (yes, I know, you have no idea who she is)
Alison Moyet - Alf

#84

No idea who Judie Tzuke is?!?

this is one of my favourite ever songs

produced by John Punter, who also produced this classic about a month later

and this too

great stuff

Of course You’d know.

Mainly that Higher and Higher song is still stuck in my head. I lived with a guy a Uni who was obsessed with The Eagles (this was the Hell Freezes Over period I guess) and he used to play Boys of Summer a lot. Always reminded me of Higher and Higher hearing it through the walls, for some reason (I mean there’s a superficial similarity but possibly the attenuation added to it).
