Music - What are you listening to II?

This is a real xmas song.

It's Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, and the sex pistols. THE GREEDIES 'A MERRY JINGLE' 1979

It's her best album.

I love everything by Mariah Carey.

I remembered this song when Candy mentioned "...what a lovely way to burn" on another thread. 

Fever. One of my faves. 

At the moment I am listening to 1960's music on TV as I browse. It's interesting how relaxing songs from those times are. Much like TV dramas these days modern music often tends to be hard work unless I am in the mood.

I am a HUGE Bryan Adams fan.






I hope you enjoy these videos!

Love guitar players sometimes, and this is one of the best out of the usa

The 1993 Dina Carroll album "So Close" on CD.

Can't get tired of this. Guitar jamming is a bonus.

A lot of famous faces in that band.

He really had the voice of an angel.

This is his best.

Stuck this here.....

The Guardian (I didn’t read it closely) had an article about “The Brit Awards”. I guess this is the UK’s version of music awards.

If I got it right, “The Brit Awards” did away with the “best” categories set by gender, that is, no more “best female/male” and such.

Turns out five “best” awards were given and no women received an award, just men.

Frankly I’m not sure what to think. The “Oscars” could give a single “best actor” award and skip the older, two-gender categories (best actor/actress). But in this case, fewer awards given to increase inclusivity actually increased exclusivity,

Award shows are just wet, and the awards aren't much better. When did anyone win a meaningful award that actually needed the pr that goes with it?

But I take your point, and agree with the award givers. Do women need a hand up to sing and write better than men. No!

It's a competition where neither gender has an ahead.

Your dad was spot on with that one.

My grandad used to shout at the telly. It was often really funny. He was usually having a go at the pompous, so award shows would have been right up his street.  

It seems unlike me to argue for two categories, best female/male, because women are competitive in entertainment. And I always like to see women advance on merit.


But I do wonder if women have had the same opportunities as men have. I better stop here, it seems unnatural.
