Musical snobbery is everywhere but someone once said to me that there are only three kinds of music, music that you like, music that you don't like and music that you haven't heard yet. As a result I try not to be dismissive of what other people like but I have been guilty in the past of not owning up to some of my guilty pleasures. So for now here's the first of mine.
It's a classic song not done by the original artist, which was Marc Bolan and T Rex, in case you had forgotten, but it is by The Power Station.
The Power Station were perhaps a typical 'supergroup' but then again perhaps not in that they consisted of two members of Duran Duran in Andy & John Taylor, with Robert Palmer and in my view the undisputed star of the outfit, Tony Thompson from Chic. Who would have thought that a drummer from a disco band could play with such power and aggression and also to have such a drum sound. I would love to be able to groove with the same quality, tone and feel. Simply awesome.
Enjoy the video
Took me back to my youth. My best friend had a terrible crush on Marc Bolan. I had a crush on David Cassidy. "I Think I Love You", real cheesy. Sad how his life is turning out.
