Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were absolutely perfect for a few years in the 80s. He was gifted as an arranger, and she just had a wonderful voice. My selection could go on forever, but I stuck with these 3 classics which showcase their talents well.
So Oasis have reformed. They'll clean up cash-wise, but their first album is why I'll always love 'em. Here's 3 beauties from the Burnage boys. Aspirational working class English rock music. We've not seen anything like them in the last 30 years. Their songs dream of a technicolour world, when we've "made it". It was just a dream to them, but they did achieve it. In terms of white working class british music, we have the Stones, Beatles, Kinks, Sex Pistols, Jam, Stone Roses, and Oasis. They earn their place well.
"Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far..."
Some other Oasis classics. I cannot overestimate how influential these guys were as a student in 1994. Nowhere else was this kind of stuff being made. They created a world of possibilities that hasn't been matched since. The last track is pure punk-ass energy!
