    It's a great song, and - what's even better - one of a pair. He did it twice.
    Good song again. I remember him on that show that Hughie Green did in the 60's/ 70s hiding under his hat and playing the piano.

    Been listening to this recently:

    Mark- No. Just because you're old, and you were alive when he made it, doesn't make the song good. 0/10 and may god have mercy on your soul.

    Paul- Nostalgia is the dust on the furniture.

    Olga- 10/10 for Tupac.

    Here ya go.

    EDIT: 6/10 for Paul's Whitesnake. A little bit of love for the Heart of the City.

    You're missing the point, but I'll make allowances because you're only young.

    Incubus - fair indie, but witless and uncompelling. 4/10 Nice animation though.

    Via Hillsborough please.

    I think it's got great merit as Mark pointed out. Where else can you hear the depressing realities of life in a pop song.

    I liked this music! Thank you Jack! I assumed we have similar tastes.
    I can's say the same about Mark.

    Mark I give you 4.5/10. It's not about our ages, it's about our tastes.

    Previously I posted a song of Ledisi, here is another one.

    That was my point.

    Again, as I refuse to use poxy smilies, I'm going to have to invent a font called Irony Sans Serif.

    I give 8/10 to your song.

    Do you know what Picasso said about tastes? "Ah, good taste, what a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness."

    Here is the next song.....

    6/10, I would probably rate it higher if I were more used to that kind of music.

    partly because of the discussion of Tom Petty earlier. I think I like "She's my Baby" and "End of the Line" more, actually.

    Doesn't get me where it counts, I'm afraid, though I admire the artistry. 5/10


    Not that I'm a great folkie. But I've always has a soft spot for this lot.
