Some music has a special place in my heart, can evoke a time or place when I think of it. That is not what we are about here. Here is music I first heard in my formative years that I still play today, because I still need to hear it. No more, no less.

Track 12 from The Tears of a Clown
Length: 00:03:02 Year: 1970 |
|

Track Description:
I first heard this when I was a kid in the 60s, and I remember sitting by the radio hoping it would be played. As far as I was concerned it was a must at teenage parties. The song recording stayed with me, not out of nostalgia, but because it is just so good. Smokey has THE smooth soul voice, the backing music is perfection, and I hear this now and it is just as exciting to me as it always was. The keeper of keepers in many respects. SHOW LESS

Track 14 from Anthology

Track Description:
There are songs that you know so well that you can play them in your head with astonishing accuracy. The test is if after that you still regularly play the track in question. I know every burbling sound at the beginning, every crack in Sly's voice, but I still need to hear this, loud and often. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
So many Bowie things are keepers, but this is the one I return to time and time again. I never tire of the thin white duke's impassioned vocal, not to mention the lush guitar sound. (Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar I think!) SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Five Leaves Left
Length: 00:04:27 Year: 0000 |
|
|
Track Description:
I first heard it on an Island Records compilation around 1972, I last heard it a few minutes ago yet I can still find this song strange, fresh and fascinating. Richard Thompson plays a parody of country lead guitar while the ethereal Mr Drake manages to sound like he is right next to you and also a million miles away all at the same time. SHOW LESS
