@yoga≈surfing so far I really like her version, she always could take a song and give it a more airy feeling. That was I think what hurt JB, he was just so down at times that I felt like it was almost suicidial. I guess that's why I liked Elton more.

@BritishDolfan do you know who I am asking about now? Really, this woman probably makes Ritchie Blackmore hide...why can't she at least be known in America? Oh yeah, Simon Crowell, thanks a lot, probably wouldn't pass John Lennon...that guy has done more to destroy real music than anyone in the history of Rock'n'Roll.

This is likely to be controversial, but to be honest I think it fits here too:


And probably less controversial (and I may well have posted it before), and speaking of John Prine, IIRC this is a cover:

Not bad after rehearsing for an hour.....Nice all-star lineup.....:rockon:
Kiss hotter than hell and Queen news of the world were the first albums i ever got... got them on my birthday.

Destroyer, rock and roll over, dressed to kill, love gun, and double platinum... soon followed. God of thunder is still my second fav song after Detroit rock city... by KISS.... 7 - 9 yrs old... then Kiss meets the phantom came on TV... that was like the climax... Kiss just slowly disappeared into my album collection after that... the eagles led zep fleetwood mac.... sports.

TBH i skipped through it and really didn't listen much as I couldn't get over the visuals. :redface:
Heh, it is meant to be over-the-top and campy. They are a comedy band. The lead singer is just incredibly talented though.
