Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 27 – Aretha Franklin, “Who’s Zoomin’ Who”

Aretha Franklin, Who’s Zoomin’ Who, 1985 Maybe it’s a stretch to refer to this as a crap-album – since it was very well received at the time, considered a “comeback” of sorts. Then again, if you really love Aretha Franklin (as you absolutely should) then maybe it’s not going far enough to call this a […]

A Showdown: 1984

The showdown is between Eurythmics’ album 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) and Van Halen’s 1984, also known as MCMLXXXIV. And I’m not sure I can offer much in terms of a showdown – because all that happened was someone made the suggestion that I compare the two albums and then I fell in […]

She-Bop – All The Best Tunes From The Best Women Making Pop Music: DJ Set

I’m a fan of the 1980s – I’m sure I’ve made that known plenty of times. So for a slight twist on an 80s DJ night I’ve decided to feature only the women. Solo artists, duets, lead singers in bands, cameos – it’s all about the female voice and those soaring anthems and power ballads […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 946

Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (1983) A year or so ago I bought a swag of Eurythmics records – most of them. I had a couple, but figured I should complete the set. Think I only have one to go now (I don’t plan on getting their “comeback” album – on any format). […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1172

Eurythmics, 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) (1984) I love the music of Eurythmics – everything! All of it! But I especially like their slightly weird stuff. Because, you know, they wrote and knocked out of the park so many great pop songs. So it’s cool to hear their strange b-sides and the instrumental […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1245

Eurythmics, Savage (1987) The last great Eurythmics album – from an immaculate run across the 1980s – and some days (like lately) it’s my absolute favourite. I always loved Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) and You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart and I Need A Man and – well – there’s loads […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1522

Eurythmics, Revenge (1986) What a great run on side one, first three songs: Missionary Man, Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes – this is an album I know well from my childhood. Another of the albums that the whole family loved; that mum used to play very loud (and very often), accompanying vacuuming and […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1589

The Eurythmics, Who’s That Girl [Single] (1983) Sometimes (often, actually) I buy a single for the B-side. But I don’t do this because I’m some completist/nutter – I do it because something about the B-side appeals – its title, the idea that I’m taking a punt on something that could be weird and wonderful (or […]
