I’ll defer to your superior knowledge on that theme.

Yeah these era songs are special.
Beatles #1 in the UK and Germany! 54 years since their last chart-topping single, and their 18th in total. Made my day

Missing Berlin a little
A perfect Sydney evening sitting by the pool watching A League swilling red wine.
What’s this got to do with music?
Well I’m also listening to Def Leppard live as they are playing an outdoor gig across the road in Olympic Park. Very loud and clear and Joe Elliot sounds good. Shoulda gone to the concert. But I can multi task right.
Motley Crüe up next. That will be interesting.

Sorry about this but here’s some stuff from the past.
Firstly, The Stranglers saying what was true then and will always be true. If you were alive back then, you can actually smell the late seventies in this.
Followed by the absolute best song of the nineties. I heard it once and once only, while sitting in my mother’s car in the car park in Huyton Village, and it was forever burned into my memory. Is there another song that includes the words ‘metaphorically’ and ‘allegorically’ in its lyrics? I think not. An absolute work of brilliance.
And to wrap it up, mine and An Englishman in Bangkok’s song …

Englishman in New York 
. It’s possibly my favourite song by Sting.

When I saw The Stranglers in 1984 (I think) they opened with Something Better Change. The whole place went mental. Liverpool Royal Court.

Probably every song written by pretentious 14-year old would be lyricists.

Name one.
I don’t have the names of any. But it’s the sort of crap pretentious teenagers would write.

And your response is what would be expected of a pretentious teenager.
What’s up? Did you not have an expensive lunch in a posh restaurant today? Feeling grumpy?
Anyway, I don’t want to get in a row with a poster that I like and respect, so I’ll just continue my late night groove with the Skatalites
There’s no argument to be had, mate.
Musical taste is subjective; you think it’s a brilliant song and I disagree.
There is no right or wrong, and the world will keep turning.

To be the best song of the nineties it would have to be better than this…

oooh… game on. should we break this up into Genres?
I’ll see your Massive Attack, and will stay in the same realm (trip hop) with a B-side Portishead…
then I’ll slow the tempo to Theivery Corp.
Druggy-drag ragtime USA.
Played to the back drop of Al Pacino in his best film - Scent of a Woman
That movie was epic for so many reasons
Np - Edge of Thorns - Savatage
One very awesome song
A study made from winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that use to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow
And so we end this chapter
And let the stage lights fade
I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don’t think about you anymore
Very nice lyrics
