Was just listening to Nirvana's acoustic cover of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World"...gave me goosebumps.

Yes just watched one of his live versions of Drive in Saturday and he offered Mott the song as a follow up to Dudes, They declined so he used it and drunkenly shaved his eyebrows off in anger.

Ha ha!
Love Bowie, but also loved Mott too, who went on to have a fab career themselves. They followed up All the Young Dudes with Honaloochie Boogie, which was a very good song too, but no Drive in Saturday!

Young Americans. I think I will be working my way through Bowies albums this week feeling a bit sad.

Considering I missed the Bowie phenomenon by a few years, I must say I've really taken to his music since yesterday - I've had most of his songs on YT playing, and I'm quickly becoming a fan, to be honest. Heroes and The Man Who Sold the World are my personal favourites though, from ages ago.

A b-side I have somehow never heard, cheers!! If only he had kept the b sides for the albums, they might have lasted longer.

Just put Planet Rock on and one of my favourite ever records is playing : Itchycoo Park by Small Faces. Never get tired of hearing it and it is a classic.

Step Out is brilliant, it's probably my favourite Oasis track, in truth. First heard it back in '97, on the now defunct cassette tape. I actually miss cassettes, on my own with that though, probably.

Spent the evening listening to some great albums from the mid '90s, The Verve's Urban Hymns and Oasis' Morning Glory.

Agreed. A gem of an album. Used to be the first lp my mate stuck on once the mushies had kicked in. The silliness of youth.

Urban Hymns definitely deserves a revisit as you forget actually how good that album is!!!!

He's well overdue on delivering his next album, at least two years late.
I've got just about everything they and Richard Ashcroft produced.

Used to love itchycoo park...the voice of the lead singer superb. Mind you as I have got older I have varied my music much more. Depending on mood I love some folk and modern American country and in the evening listen a lot to late medieval polyphony. When I was younger I would have died rather than admit that.

Sorry for asking but what is medieval polyphony ?

Well-Known Member
Church music from 13th to 16th centuries. A development from plainchant and Gregorian chant that basically all monks sang the same voice (part). With polyphony their are various parts. If you get a chance listen to Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis (on you tube) or stuff by Palestrina (some bits on YouTube). After the period but one of best pieces of polyphony ever (in my opinion) is allegri's Misere.
Polyphony was also increasingly used in the royal houses of Europe...so secular as well as religious examples.
I find it relaxing...and although I'm an atheist I do find this type of music spiritual and moving.

First four tracks are as good as it gets, if you like this kind of thing.

Noel ripped off a Stevie Wonder tune for Step Out. It was due to be an album track on Morning Glory but got taken off last minute and squirelled away on the DLBIA single.
