The journalist and author Neil Strauss is one of Courtney Loves best friends. They understand each other very well. I cant recall everything he said about her, but he nailed her personality early on and gets her respect due to mutual understanding. Like scorchy implies, she has a lot of alpha...

If its from the 21st century probably nothing lol. Aussie music generally doesnt hit me until its successful internationally. The UK is my music heartland

Thanks for that. There are all the yearly drafts. Loads of the current year in music drafts. Other artists have had rundowns. Its a major undertaking to be thorough I ran (so far away) from the board for years and missed so many music drafts. For a considerable time i was in every one. I didnt...

Really? Geez, i need to get out more lol

This is from 7 years ago. I just havent been bothered updating it since

Not me. He has a trained musical ear which most dont have. Bit like coffee drinkers or wine tasters who can tell one bean or grape from another Love Beato’s entusiasm though

Just came across this cover. Not that bad Def Leppard - Personal Jesus

Maybe, but probably not. While it stood out, it was always gimmicky…sort of like Popcorn. It definitely gave the band a roadmap of what they wanted to do It was however 1976s Radioaktivity that was far more influential. Followed up by 1977s Trans Europe Express. These two albums, with singles...

This song didnt turn you on as much? Last time you were ready for Barry to conquer you. Btw I would have thought Love’s Theme was his signature, but maybe thats just me

The sex one is a given. Hardly pg. Joe is very strict on glorifying drug use, which a lot of musicians do. He has had family members die from it so is perhaps more tuned in than most. The comment on why it was shut down last time was very explicit about it being 2 categories, not just one. I...

Cant do the one about Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll. Categories for the first 2 are a problem with management. Eg - Songs about Oral, Songs about Cocaine use. I cant even think of a way to dress it up to pass censorship

Their early hits were cheerful and bouncy.(Ring Ring, I do I Do I Do etc, Dancing Queen) Once they started divorcing each other, the somgs often still sounded bouncy but were incredibly dark if you listen to the lyrics. S.O.S, The Winner Takes it All, Super Trouper, Knowing Me Knowing You etc...

Im easy (thats what she said) in all this. If you are ready to do an artists thread, i will have an artist or 2 ready If @krista4 has an idea ready to go for a draft/MAD countdown or anyone else has a draft i will consider what i can offer. I usually have an idea floating around in this birds...

Not sure if @Zegras11 is interested in doing another of his artist threads?

The easiest solution, depending on Kristas ruling is just to switch it around and claim Let it Be by the Beatles as the cover. There might be an out in that the Beatles recorded it first, but thats a narrow bridge that wouldnt hold all the others in this boat ruled as first release
