Dumb can be lovely.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

A six CD collection of Rex Smith's work, that is what I have been listening too!  :gay:

I have this on vinyl, it's dumb, yes and I like it. Not everything needs to be complex to be good - I think good "dumb" music is, in some ways more difficult to create than some give it credit for.

I definitely thought that was dumb when it came out. Lovely, not so much. I was more interested in the Politics of Dancing while being Blinded by Science, so what do I know?

Oh my, Tom outs himself as a New Romantic/Electro Kid turned Proggie! What's next? It's been ages since I heard this:



That other Tom (Dolby) can also be heard here (not in the video seen), he was asked to do the modernistic spheric layered synths by Mick Jones to give Foreigner a more contemporary sound. He sure did, mission accomplished.





To me, Autograph sounded a bit like dumbed down Loverboy (if that's possible), which means they sure were mining deep!

Progger turned New Waver! I think it was a natural progression (all those keyboards!), and I know there are plenty like me out there. I used to be kinda pretty too.  ;D

 Gotta give a big "thanks" to BklynKen for putting me onto this.........Don't ask me how I'd never heard this until now, much Billy Duffy coolness!

With John B Sparks chording (!) an added six rock'n'roll rhythm guitar on his Grabber at the 12th fret and some intricate masturbation choreography of Wilko and Lee, what more could you possibly ask for?

And Dave always says he doesn't like chords on bass, we've caught him out now.  8) He's never commented on masturbation choreography one way or the other, so we have to let that rest.

I stumbled across this totally by accident, never heard of them, but my, it is cool!

It's like Yoko Ono (if she could sing), Jethro Tull, Yngwie Malmsteen, System of a Down, the Disney Mulan soundtrack and Helloween (the German melodic speed metallers) lumped together, but the result is thoroughly pleasant!

Probably won't pass Dave's exacting "real country" test, but I'm a sucker for her voice.

Never heard of her, reminds me of Bobbie Gentry with maybe a little Karen Carpenter thrown in. Not country, but nice.

In other news, Linda Ronstadt tuned 75 on Thursday,
