Best Of Stevie Wonder

The missing song from his many Greatest Hits album. I wonder why none of his Greatest Hits album contain this  superb number which has also been covered by the likes of Barbra Streisand and recently by Heejun on American Idol. Here is "All In Love Is Fair" from his amazing Innervisions album.

Pet Shop Boys's best sounds

After coming out with new albums almost every year since the 80's, the Boys are still at it! However, I still believe their best songs were from the album "Behaviour", released in 1990.
Here is "To Face The Truth" to attest to that.

Great music from Chris Rea

If you are still in the Christmas mood tune in to Chris Rea's unforgettable driving music in Driving Home For Christmas, which is sure to bring back all those Christmas memories.
This singer whom has been around for years is famous for Fool (If You Think Its Over) and On The Beach - that great melody that makes you wanna head straight for the beach.




Enjoy!

Fictional band but real music

Gorillaz entertains in virtual reality

Gorillaz is a multimedia project created by singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett. The pair created the idea of a fictional band, called 'Gorillaz', who would, despite their fictional nature, participate in as many activities as a real band would as possible.

Empire Ants (Feat. Little Dragon) by GorillazThus the Gorillaz have been on a world tour, released albums and singles, made acceptance speeches at award shows, given print and radio interviews, talked with fans on their website, amongst other things. These were all possible due to the utilisation of a vast array of modern media and a huge range of talented artists who have all played their part in bringing the Gorillaz to life.

Enjoy their latest manifestation in Plastic Beach and from the album comes this exquisitely crafted Empire Ants.

Rock can't get more mellow than this

Jackson Browne has always had his own brand of rock, the inimitable mellow Californian rock which soothes you and sets you on the road to the vast American highways smothered by the beautiful evening sun.



His musical signature is a sound that once you listen to you will not likely to forget as it will bring back past memories when you first heard that song.

Popular worldwide but hardly heard on our radio

Sometimes you wonder what it takes to get on our radio stations. Being popular in the international arena and sold-out mega concerts certainly are not one of the criteria I suppose.

Spies by ColdplaySlated to perform in the upcoming 2012 Olympics is London, Coldplay is certainly a well sought after band elsewhere but not on our pathetic radio stations. Here is Coldplay from their very under-rated album Parachutes which featured the song "Trouble" among other equally notable songs like herewith "Spies"

A Dashing Singer with a video no red-blooded male can forget

The famous video featuring a clutch of gloss-lipped, black mini-skirted deadpan models posing as backing band to the song Addicted to Love, is the late Robert Palmer's most enduring image.


Born in 1964, Robert Palmer joined his first band, The Mandrakes, at the age of 15. With his impeccable suits and slicked-back hair, Robert Palmer had a 1974 hit with the Allen Toussaint song, Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley. A move to the Bahamas to record the albums Double Fun and Secrets brought him success with singles Every Kinda People and A Bad Case of Lovin' You. By 1982 he managed to achieve his biggest hit in Britain with Some Guys Have All the Luck.
