It&#8217;s a harmonious cacophonous racket from start to finish, breaking every rule as it goes along. David Bowie, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Tony Visconti at their absolute peak. A giant of a record. If this was sent to every major A and R department in the world today, it would get rejected hands down (with cries of where is the chorus?)&#8230;&#8230;foools!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>GRACE JONES &#8211; SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have always liked the precise exquisite sound of Trevor Horn produced records with ABC, DOLLAR and more, though often I have not liked the songs that much. This however is more of a piece than a song and hits the mark on all fronts for me. Trevor clearly knew this himself and released a whole album of different versions of this one track. Very brave but very very much worth it. A glorious masterful sound with a cracking tune.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE SEX PISTOLS &#8211; ANARCHY IN THE UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a track that literally changed my life, and I&#8217;m not joking. In the mid 70&#8217;s when I first heard this song being blared out in my brother&#8217;s room I just couldn&#8217;t believe it. A bit like Bowie&#8217;s &#8216;Heroes&#8217; (see above) this an incredible racket with John Lydon at his snarling best ripping it up. Like many in the era, I had considered getting myself in the music industry, joining a band or something but within moments of hearing this there was no question I was DOING IT!!! ps I am now over thirty years involved in some form in the music industry that I love, so thanks John and the boys (and Malcolm Maclaren of course.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>GEORGE MICHAEL &#8211; I CAN&#8217;T MAKE YOU LOVE ME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of the songs I so wish i had written and I will persevere till I get even close. The perfect harmony of lyrical subject matter with a bittersweet and beautiful melody. One of the best songs ever written in my view and I am not alone in this. Paul McCartney, one of our greatest songwriters ever, puts this track in his top five songs of all time, so that tells you something. There are many versions available of this track but to me the George Michael version knocks it out of the park. I think George would agree that a younger version of himself would never have pulled this off to such a degree. His vocal control and commitment to the emotional subject matter is a masterclass on &#8220;how you do it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE 1975 &#8211; THE SOUND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the last song I heard randomly that stopped me in my tracks. I had never heard of the act but this song leapt out to me from the tiny radio speakers I was listening to. A fantastic mixture of old and new sounds combined with a melodic anthemic beauty not far removed from 70&#8217;s american legend Todd Rundgren, either on his solo work or when in Utopia. Add a charismatic front man and vocalist as the 1975 are fortunate to have and away you go. A beautiful record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SIMPLE MINDS &#8211; THEME FOR GREAT CITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When my brother Brian formed Simple Minds with his school friends Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill in the late 70&#8217;s, they were way more original and experimental than the stadium rock god sound machine they became famous for years later. I have always loved instrumentals and I have heard many but this one of the most dynamic, with a mesmerising and thumping groove provided by Brian (on drums) and bass player Derek Forbes. Jim Kerr has often said publicly that he felt the song was complete without his vocal and how right he is. My brother and the bands finest moment.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout-key=\"-8i+1w-dq+e8+g1\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"7545146861\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Essential Weekly Playlist is back, with a difference!
