Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: In the air tonight (Phil Collins)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/10/bubbling-under-in-air-tonight-phil.html
Bubbling under: In the air tonight (Phil Collins). In hindsight it seems unbelievable how much progressive Genesis fans like me looked forward to the first solo album of Phil Collins. In 1981. In the end, Face Value. Was disappointing, consisting mostly of straightforward pop songs, but the macabre hit single In the air tonight. Posted by Art Rock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: Angel (Annie Lennox)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/11/bubbling-under-angel-annie-lennox.html
Bubbling under: Angel (Annie Lennox). This song is listed here in the Annie Lennox. Solo version, but the earlier version of her with the Eurythmics is just as good. The beautiful ballad Angel. Is a moving song allegedly about her mother ("Underneath this canopy of snow, where fifty-seven winters took their toll") who committed suicide rather than facing a cruel end as cancer patient. Annie re-recorded it solo in 1997, after the death of Princess Diana. Posted by Art Rock. View my complete profile. Many ...

Bubbling under: Ultimo entardecer (Bacamarte). Few prog rock albums are so good and yet so unknown as the 1983 classic Depois do fim. After the end) by Brazilian band Bacamarte.

http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/11/bubbling-under-after-gold-rush-kd-lang.html
Bubbling under: After the gold rush (k.d. lang). It is not often that I hear a cover of a famous song that completely blows the original out of the water. It happened earlier this year when I got hold of Canadian singer k.d. lang. S ( image credit. 2004 album Hymns of the 49th Parallel. Her take on Neil Young's After the goldrush. Posted by Art Rock.

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: There is a light that never goes out (Smiths)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/08/bubbling-under-there-is-light-that.html
Bubbling under: There is a light that never goes out (Smiths). Is one of those band that by all that is right I should love - and I don't. I find them OK, but there is only one song that scores higher in my appreciation than those two letters. Their third and best album The Queen is dead. From 1986 includes one of the most touching and romantic songs of the eighties: There is a light that never goes out. Posted by Art Rock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: Number nine dream (John Lennon)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/08/bubbling-under-number-nine-dream-john.html
Bubbling under: Number nine dream (John Lennon). After the Beatles split up, all four members embarked on a more or less successful solo career. In general, I prefer Paul McCartney's solo output over the others, but by far the best single post-Beatles song was made by John Lennon. The soaring Number nine dream. From the 1974 album Walls and Bridges. Posted by Art Rock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 3] covers that are great but not as good as the original will not make the ...

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: A whiter shade of pale (Procol Harum)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/10/bubbling-under-whiter-shade-of-pale.html
Bubbling under: A whiter shade of pale (Procol Harum). The 1967 hit A whiter shade of pale. Is one of those songs everyone knows. Also one of those songs where the most outrageous wrong claims circulate on the internet. I wish I would get a euro for every time I have seen someone claim that this is a cover of Bach's Air. It is not, as a simple side-by-side comparison will show to anyone who has ears. The melody and the harmonies are akin to Bach though, and actually his Sleepers awake. Posted by Art Rock.

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: I've seen that face before (Grace Jones)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/09/bubbling-under-ive-seen-that-face.html
Bubbling under: I've seen that face before (Grace Jones). Model/actress/Singer/Disco queen Grace Jones. Was one of the most remarkable figures of the early eighties' music scene. Most of her works, including the 1981 hit album Nightclubbing. Was interesting anti-punk retro-disco, but there is one track in her oeuvre that really stands out. I've seen that face before. A single release from aforementioned album, is an enchanting re-make of Libertango. Posted by Art Rock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Countdown to Ecstasy: Bubbling under: Owner of a lonely heart (Yes)
http://thebestpoprocksongs.blogspot.com/2014/06/bubbling-under-owner-of-lonely-heart-yes.html
Bubbling under: Owner of a lonely heart (Yes). The song that most fans of prog rock superstars Yes. Despise. I am a prog rock fan, and I love it. Of course, Owner of a lonely heart. Is an order of magnitude more commercial than their previous works, and it is undoubtedly a far cry from progressive rock, but judged by itself it is a great tune, with a fantastic production, and showing all the musicianship that the band members are justifiably renowned for. Both the single and the album 90125. Many of thes...
