This has stood the test of time. It was good its now great.IMHO
 

this is the third or fourth thing I've heard from these folks . . . growing on me . . . slowly

I'm normally a big fan of Beth Orton, going by the other works of hers played on RP, but this one is an awful boring sucker, at least to these ears. A nailed-on Ho-hum from the narcoleptic Nottingham jury

Turning up the current to the transducers on this rainy Friday afternoon in Toronto !

 

Gotta put B and F on my bucket list.

Am I alone in thinking this song is tedious, irritating and unmelodious? I would go even further and say if I had my way they would be 'The Strangled'

This is damn good !

I think contralto is my favorite range. I like this.

Another vote for this. Can't believe that such a significant (and musical!) band as the Jam is so under-recognised on my favourite radio station!

Wow this surprised me. I know the Guess Who from "These Eyes" and "Share the Land" (two of my faves) fame, but I would never have pegged this as their style.  I'm not a fan of borderline surf music, so I'll rate this as 'okay', but it's interesting hearing bands I put in one particular category playing things along a broader base.

Yeah ..this girlie can sing !

Groovin on a Saturday morning !

Dated?  Sure. Maybe. But still growing on me.
 

This is a classic, all you haters. Love it!

And my day on a cold snowy morning in Southern Ontario!!!!!
 

Really over Caro Emerald.

Indeed, but reverse that order:  Less McCann's, Compared to What sounds a lot like this!  

Groovin on a snowy day in Southern Ontario.   It's Friday Afternoon here !!!!!

Worth the 'lots of play' !

Possibly the coolest new band of th past 2 years or so.

I wish the humidity in my place was above 20% right now.   We humans need to invent loudspeakers that are more than just transducers.
 

This song is sheer brilliance. This followed by Mirrorball by Elbow is sheer, unadulterated Sunday night pleasure.

Bill, you spoil us. 

Slow start meanders into a smooth funk that is most delicious.  Volume up!

Bill, it does not get any better. Mason-Cars-SD selections. 

You need to bottle your musical taste and sell it like a drug.  

Cheezy 70s act that shud have been forgotten LONG ago. 

Jeff Lynn is a genius 
 

And on a Saturday morning.  Awesome...

Saw Queen in February 1976 and to this day Freddie is the best vocalist I've heard. Nobody else comes close.

After Vivaldi? Only on RP!!! Rock on...this makes my day on a gray, drizzly Oregon morning.

      The Ramones on a Saturday night !!!!!!!

Love it!  A fun piece incorporating ELO's signature combo of rock and roll and classical influences.  Plus it brings back a lot of memories!

Time for the last drive of the year.

Not his best work . . .

I second that...!  And it must be getting near Ramones time.  After all it is Friday afternoon!

Thanks, Bill. Perfect. I thought I was the only person in the world who would play Beethoven and Joe Strummer in the same afternoon. I'm not such a freak after all!

I love it! Beethoven following Pink Floyd! Just goes to show that music is timeless! Thanks for this.

This makes for a great driving song on a sunny day in the hills somewhere.

Leaning towards burdell's point here. Up there with their best tunes, since it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and complexity, while Dire Straits at other times overdid the complexity a bit. Great melodies too in this one.

I love that R.P. plays Tragically Hip. Thank you Bill.

CLASSIC!  Always prompts a sing-along with my friends - you are officially in our group when you know the words!

Who gives a crap if this sounds like U2??

This is a beautiful song with solid guitar!!

Enjoy the sounds people......good sounds make us feel good, right?  

Never get tired of this.

Wonder if Bill includes music that he isn't very fond of in this vast playlist on RP. Sounds a bit like Modest Mouse in the chorus.

JUST ONE QUESTION....WHY??

 mommy, make the bad music go away  

This song is f'ing brilliant and performed impeccably, and anyone who doesn't see that - well I think you're CRAAAAAZAAAAAYYYY!!!
(Couldn't resist.) 

This song goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and...

I keep bumping this up the rating scale.

Hmmmm....1963 to 1967 means she was 4 years old—not 14.  Hopefully she wasn't sporting a tb at the ripe old age of 4!

Same producer as Ane Brun?

Great stuff !!

Bill and Becca are tearing up the airwaves tonight. 

Cheers to that. LOVE RP.

 

Wonder what ever happened to this woman.

Never liked them!

Tori-Amos-like and very nice.

This song always reminds me of Kids in the Hall!  
 

Well spotted Fred... missed it the first time around.... will try and find time to listen again.... the joys of proper Public Service broadcasting, God bless the BBC and all who broadcast on her!!

In years past, Bill played this on Thanksgiving at 9 and 3 PST.  Hope he does it again this year!

I totally concur.

Perfect in every way.

"128k AAC 

Did Bowie sue them over this?   Anybody? Anybody?

Lyle can not be categorized.  It's a good thing.  Cotton is good.

A great artist! You don't have to like him but that doesn't mean he s**t.  I despise the Rolling Stones with every ounce of my being, but millions would disagree and that fine.

Thanks to T-Bone for the wonderful production and the homage to Bo Diddley?!

Gotta say I'm enjoying quite a bit of both Boy and Bear.

A great example of a song that "grows on you".  My RP rating goes up every time I hear it.

Jeff Lynne is a genius.
 

The best album from Dire Straits ever !!!

Love the Furs!   I really like music from the '60s, '80s, '00s.

I love this song for some very odd reason. It may be that although sappy it is lightyears ahead of Denver's version. 

It's a keeper.

New Alanis, so far, so good. Upbeat at least.

If I could give this song a minus 10 I would.

Very sweet.  Now time to play some other tracks of this project.  Maybe "Feel Like Going Home"?

this song blows. joe's done some good stuff - but not the kind of fodder for this forum I think. it's so blatantly commercial, horrific disco base line, repetative and just blows in general. worst song I've heard on RP so far.

Awesome song from a ridiculously brilliant album - a desert island disc for sure!!!!

And yet to me it sounds like the beginnings of one of the tightest and powerful bands on the planet - EC and the Attractions, and one of the most brilliant lyricist and expressive vocalists of the last 40 years.

I girl I used to go to school with just re-made this song and released it on her new EP. We'll have to wait and see what the world thinks about her "pop" version...

THE best Eurythmics song.  An aural time machine.

 
Thanks for that. What is a measure?  I am not pulling your leg.  I really don't have a clue.  I just love stuff that's "off beat' :)

 

Loving the new format guys :)

And that my lord is why we listern to rp

wouldn't want a steady diet but very impressive talent her songs fit her voice to a tee...

in 1959 they used two microphones and of course, tube gear. tube gear is famous for it's dynamic range

teo macero was the producer - his records always sound good. ask miles davis

what make this stand out is the 9/8 and 5/4 timing

This song is soooo good my nipples get hard when I hear it...

 

Not a single (true) ROCK SONG during the past hour+!
NOT ONE!!!!

Not a single (true) ROCK SONG during the past hour+!
NOT ONE!!!!

Good lord, how did I switch to the local AM station???

The end of this song sounds like it would segue into a Rush tune...

Yes, still good, 5 years after last comment!

Holy hell, this is a great version of this song!  Bowie rocks!

The definitive drum hook of the 80's.

For me Growing up and Saint in the City off the Asbury park album are up there.
