Another great concert I was able to see back in the 80s. I remember Phil Collins opening his concert with synchro drumming (Phil Collins is a very accomplished drummer so he was on stage with another drummer). They then went into this song.

A song that people of my age group can increasingly relate to as our parents come to the end of their lives. Once you lose your Mum and Dad, there are always days when you think, I wish I could speak to them again.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Tracey Chapman’s first hit. It was my final honours year at Sydney University and it was in the afternoon. I was downstairs in the Anderson Stuart building working on dissecting some chic motorneurons in a tissue culture cabinet. I had the radio playing and “Fast Cars”

Staying on Shania’s money theme, I wonder if she got the start of her Ka-ching song from this all time Pink Floyd classic?

A song that captures a common scenario for many teenage and twenty something blokes.

So is this song about Chad Kroeger from Nickelback (see yesterday’s post)? Probably not!
Day 122: Sk8er boi, Avril Lavigne Read More »
Never really understood why so many people hate Nickelback. I like this tune again because its lyrics tell a story. This film clip is clearly captured at one of their concerts by one of their fans on a low quality mobile phone. Yet what is impressive is how close their sound is to the original

So this is another song from my University days. The mid-80s was a great time for pop/rock music in my opinion. Correction just googled and it was actually 83 so I was actually still at school. Time goes too quickly!
