Go West.....
That jogs a pleasant memory or two . I did not buy any of their stuff, but thought his voice was great - and " Call Me" always made me turn the radio up in the car. :)
ELO, Bruch's Violin Concerto .
I loved the early ELO stuff,
especially 'Elderado' . ' On the Third Day' was good too.
Bruch's Violin Concerto is an all time fave, as ( cut from similar cloth ) is Samuel Barber's Cello Concerto - and Adagio for strings.
In similar style, a lot of the Leos Janaceck stuff used in the film soundtrack of "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being " was a revelation, as was Gorecki's Symphony No.3
Steely Dan is not embarrassing. Far from it.
I certainly agree Prawnik, - and my list is not really a list of embarrassing indulgences, more a set of choices that most people seem to think quirky, or " not as cool as .... " .
In that respect, I concede that my list may not wholly qualify for / belong in this thread ; but is shared in the spirit of being music that we put on when the guitar and love of it's chief exponents - is put aside .
