Fer me it’s even better than Trans Europe Express. It’s a pity there’s a taint of Glitter from Bambatta these days.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 05-12-2018, 19:48.

Simon G's Unheards list would make a superb playlist.
Can I interest you in 35 different versions of Like A Rolling Stone?

Originally posted by Janik View PostWell, this. I have no clue what the answer to this would be, because if I don't recognise a song, or find it catchy enough to make a mental note of, I won't remember it. So there is a very good chance that I will have heard some of whatever properly famous song I look at the title of and think "nope, don't know that at all" and then hear a fragment of and think "I've never heard this before".

No offence, but that's a little solipsistic to say the least.

I've just heard The Beatles' "It's All Too Much" for the first time ever and it sounds great (e.g. Ringo's drumming):
