Want a superb version of Bring Him Home check out Fleetwood's finest, Alfie Boe singing it.

Very true, that boy has got a great set of pipes

I was watching UK TV on my Roku box and just saw the most amazing ad. This one is brilliant. It deserves to go viral.

John Lewis makes a special advert every year in the run up to Christmas, they often feature great music covers and are always worth a watch

The Man on the Moon advert was done in partnership with a charity called Age UK to raise awareness of loneliness among the elderly.

Those are just the sweetest, gorgeous adverts Becky.
Hard to pick a favourite. Loved the animals on the trampoline and also loved the penguin.
Ray with watery eyes now like the man on the moon

[Rayblewit]

uff is amazing. He is a farking geenyous!!!!!

Whatever you say!
The cymatics experiments were farking amazingness!

How 'bout this . . Just a tad too long but a nice sound . .

 

[happyrat1]

I'm really not that impressed by Hang Drums any longer these days.

Since they are all tuned to a specific musical key it's virtually impossible to hit a wrong note.

Frankly a couple of monkeys could bang on those things and sound just as good.

I heard this song on the radio today!
It is an alternative station "RRR" . . Paul will know it! Not your boring everyday run of the mill crap. This tune reminded me slightly of Pink Floyd. I was sucked in by it so searched more and found heaps more.. .

Good Eh!

YEAH!

Finally some classy music on the radio.

[Rayblewit]

I like it . . Ray

I went to sleep last night and I couldn't get these songs out of my head. Weird dreams...

I must have drain bamage...

[Rayblewit]

I like the duran duran track. Depeche did noy play and soft cell are crazy but likable . .
Reminded me of this .

Ray

 

[Biggles]

Soft Cell, yep Tainted Love is great.

Depesche Mode, Just cant get enough, another eighties anthem

Duran Duran, pass. Much preffered Ultravox, Roxy Music and Pet Shop Boys who are still brilliant live, well as live as two guys and one keyboard can be.

 

[happyrat1]

A little more mellow vibe...

[Becky]

Love the Space Oddity cover

 

[happyrat1]

[Rayblewit]

Nup!

The only positive from the toto cover is the piano playing. The rest is awful.
