Hahaha I thought not :lol: They're okay (VERY CHEESY) And I think their most famous one is 'Love is all Around'

I haven't yet actually - I have downloaded a tab for it to have a look at at some point! :biggrin: (and please do! I can send you a scan of the page in the book :tongue: )
Oh my God.... I should have seen that coming :rofl:


Ah, I see :tongue: The name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've heard the song...

Ah, cool! :smile: (Yeah I might sometime, when I have a bit more time to... :tongue:)

Such a good song! :tongue:

It's just sad that he's gone :rip:
Ooohhh yes do! They're mostly relaxing, apart from the upbeat ones of course! :biggrin:
It is, you can really tell how much both music AND technology has changed, just look at the special effects in videos made nowadays compared to back then!
I need to go back further, I think I started at The Beatles and Queen and then just worked my way up to the 80's.
Ah yes, It isn't just me then! :laugh:


Yeah ikr... he will be remembered for his amazing music and being an all round cool guy :redface:

Haha :lol: The upbeat ones just make me want to dance!! :biggrin:
I know what you mean - though it was actually Duran Duran who began the whole 'modern music video' with Girls on Film (they recorded it with a modern camera at the time) Some of effects back then were hilarious :lol:
Haha cool! I quite like The Hollies and The Easybeats (pre-AC/DC) (I think theyre early 60s)

Haha nope! :biggrin:

Peace be with you, Bowie! :smile:
Really? That's pretty interesting! :nyan: They were indeed, with some its like watching King Kong vs Godzilla all over again! The graphics were atrocious in that film! :laugh: but I stuck around to watch it!
Ooohh I will certainly have to check them out!

Good! :banana:

P.S. I've now switched to my general youtube mix, and I'm on 'In My Remains' by Linkin Park - I never thought that I would see the day that i liked their music!

:smile: Oh yes! :laugh:
Oh good lordy they actually do! If I didnt know that it wasn't then I would believe that it was them! :biggrin:
They are actually, I would recommend 'In my remains' and 'powerless'

Powerless is from the credits of the 'Abraham Lincoln - Vampire hunter' film, I'd recommend that too! :biggrin:

Haha :laugh: I can just imagine that! It's like those people on social media who thought that Kayne West had helped McCartney into the music industry.... No.
They all sound so much alike back then! :smile:

It's a good film
