I'm glad that "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo wasn't put through the misery of an antiquated fake thing like The Eurovision Song Contest !!!!! That competition is well past its sell by date and should be consigned to history!!!!!! Just my opinion but I'm sure others may disagree.

If you like Hard Rock or HM then you should have a copy of this...

Did you watch Eurovision? Babylon Zoo's version might have been the better. ;)

Maybe I should start a new thread "What do you want to listen to instead of being made to sit through Eastenders?". Oh it's just me then, so I won't bother.

Anyway it's this, which arrived today. Very clean copy, vinyl looks mint. Had to get it, after Firebottle played some of it at AA Midlands Bakeoff earlier this month. Cost me 13 quid, but got some good names contributing. It WILL go on the record player tonight.

Looks interesting Steve. I'm often weary of 'appreciation' albums, but have been pleasantly surprised by some in the past. Anyway Dwight and Taupin wrote some great numbers, and those performing the covers are more than well respected - so I think it could appeal to me.

I'll have to look out for a copy.

(BTW Who are Eastenders? Are they a 'heavy metal' group? :D )

I'd like to chain them to some heavy metal and drop 'em in the Thames...

I only got to hear a bit of this album, but the Sinead O'Connor track sounded quite extraordinary, as did the Kate Bush reggae version of Rocket Man! Of course I may not be as impressed when played on my set up. It's happened before.
