366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 287 Number 80 Lulu

And a couple of great bonus tracks...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 286 Number 81 Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Only one of the greatest songs ever.

Indeed, one of my funeral tracks...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 285 Number 82 Oasis

Guest starring the God-like Patrick Macnee...

And let's chuck in a few more...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 284 Number 83 Frank Zappa

Here friends, is a veritable smörgåsbord of Zappa.

Including his lovely children.

Enjoy...

And who could forget this classic! Especially for my pal GG from the 'gong...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 283 Number 84 Ron Sexsmith

Long Player Late Bloomer was easily my favourite release of last year.

I've been a fan of Ron's work since I bought his first CD in the mid-90s.

A true talent.

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 282 Number 85 A-ha

And, as an added bonus, here are a couple of snaps of the gorgeous Morten, that I took in the Countdown canteen back in 1985...

Oh, and an autograph...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 281 Number 86 Tears For Fears

Quite possibly my favourite song of the 80s.

I recall reading that they wrote this after being inspired by The Young Ones ("We sow the seed, nature grows the seed, and then, we eat the seed...")

But I can't find any evidence, so I probably just made it up...

Yep, I was there...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 280 Number 87 Madness

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 279 Number 88 XTC

What. A. Band!

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 278 Number 89 Sid 'n' Sue (Matthew Sweet & Susannah Hoffs)

Me love me some harmonies, and these guys are just amazing, both together and on their own...
