Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So, what are you listening to?

Good choice, Stalgie, but my favorite song of hers is "You Came."

I feel too lazy right now to go find it on YouTube, though.

I got a bit of Stock, Aitken and Waterman from the music on "You Came"

Me, too. Stock, Aiken, and Waterman productions were far less ubiquitous in the US than the UK, so we didn't get sick of them.

"Since when did you learn how to read?" lol.

I'd just got Bowie's Blackstar album and listened to it on the way to work, where I saw the sad news.

Shelby Lynne doing a great interpretation of a solo John Lennon song:

What the cool kids were listening to circa '96:

Ex-Runaway Cherie Currie (whom I adore) and her twin sister Marie turn a hard-rocking Rainbow song into bubblegum.

Sublime or ridiculous?

You be the judge.

Related to my recent post in "So What Are You READING?", here's my favorite Stevie album:

RIP, Sir George Martin. I've actually been listening to a lot of his non-Beatles work, such as this classic new wave anthem:

What the heck, I'll post all three of the other singles Sir George produced for Ultravox, starting with the biggest U.S. hit:

I'm not a fan of plodding dinosaur rockers UFO, but their most commercial album, 1980's George Martin-produced No Place to Run, had a couple of decent tracks:

Next to the Beatles, George Martin's longest and most productive association was with the band America, those quintessential 70s soft-rockers. Interestingly, while more than half the songs on their 1975 multiplatinum best-of album, "History", had not been produced by Martin, the veteran produced remixed all the songs he hadn't originally produced. Most likely more people are familiar with the remixes than the originals. I'm sure they're not everyone's cup of tea, but their hits were a large part of the soundtrack to my carefree preschool years, and so I make no apologies for liking them.

Not a huge UK hit at the time of its 1963 release, this George Martin-produced, Lennon/McCartney-written song has amassed a large number of fans over the decades. In the 80s, the Smiths used it as their entrance music:

And today we lost Keith Emerson.
