Whole album blew my mind when I first heard it around a friend’s house - rushed out the next day to buy it, as we used to do in that dim and distant past.
I used to love browsing through record shops.

The original has been posted but I also want to post this brilliant cover of it. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. (Don’t worry the production quality is very high.)

Going to break the rules (again) and post my last one now before the forum goes down for maintenance just in case I don’t get back to it. Probably the first Bowie song I loved, and I still love it just as much now like 35 years after first hearing it.

Most ldo pick for Z
As for mine
That Petrol Emotion, who fearured a couple of ex Undertones after they split up, used to do an absolutely blinding version of this. It was my way in to the great man
Here’s a little instrumental.
thanks for the thread yall, that was a fun month. This spring when things relax I’ll be really gung-ho to listen to everybody’s music from the beginning of the thread.
Fwiw I just scrolled through my alphabet posts and counted 89 links to music, but man there are so many first-ballot hall-of-fame composers that didn’t get posted once, so to make 89 a round number here are eleven pieces by eleven composers who deserved better than zero links
—Debussy: Clair de Lune (Suite Bergamasque, third movement)
—Dvořák: String Quartet #12 (“American”) / 2. Lento
—Fauré: Pavane, Op. 50
—Haydn: Trumpet Concerto in E-flat / 3. Allegro
—Liszt: Paganini Variations (etude #6: quasi presto: eleven variations)
—Mahler: Symphony #5 / 4. Adagietto
—Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night’s Dream / Scherzo
—Scarlatti: Sonata K141 in D minor
—Shostakovich: Symphony #10 / 2. Allegro
—Stravinsky: Rite of Spring (excerpts from The Adoration of the Earth)
—Wagner: Pilgrims’ Chorus (from Tannhäuser)
Amadeus played the credits out with the slow movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto #20, so signing off here with the next slow movement on the list, Mozart’s Piano Concerto #21 / Andante

I didn’t know about Hopkins, reading up on it, sounds really sad.
