[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 446070, member: 8"] The last three from the [I][B]Reality Killed The Video Star[/B][/I] album....and I'm not sure I had heard these songs before (or failed to notice). [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Essentials # 8[/COLOR][/B] [MEDIA=youtube]q8lCgfUgXPI[/MEDIA] Could [I][B]Morning Sun[/B][/I] be his most Carpenters-esque song? I mean, you hear it too, don't you? It's incredibly gorgeous. [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Essentials # 9[/COLOR][/B] [MEDIA=youtube]kk-7umYwTig[/MEDIA] The melody of the chorus in [I][B]Bodies[/B][/I] kind of harks back to [I][B]Supreme[/B][/I] and that's certainly not a bad thing. Everything else sounds great, too, so this had to be a winner. [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Essentials # 10[/COLOR][/B] [MEDIA=youtube]JrwNx6pCAkk[/MEDIA] [B][I]Do You Mind[/I][/B] is the third track in this "10 best of" that wasn't a single, but to me it sounds like a seventies classic. It's also got a sing-along-in-the-pub novelty because if someone gets the number of "I-I-I-I-I-I's" wrong then it's going to sound "hilariously" unharmonious. Well, I'm just picturing a scene. Naturally I've also listened to the other albums. [I][B]Take The Crown[/B][/I]....the less said about it , the better. [B][I]Swings Both Ways[/I][/B] is lovely and possibly his most consistently good album (which is not the same as "best album"). [I]Shine My Shoes[/I] is nice and [I]Supreme[/I] also sounds good in swing. The Sparks-esque [I][B]No One Likes A Fat Pop Star[/B][/I] may have been considered for a 20 Essentials thread. It gets a little too "this was my life" on the next two albums but [I][B]It's OK Until The Drugs Stop Working[/B] [/I]is almost like a collage of hit themes, most noticeable the Tony Christie sound. I like that. [URL unfurl="true"]https://youtu.be/HOv3yCRDxeE[/URL] [/QUOTE]
