366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 301 Number 66 Air Supply

I saw Air Supply once. At London's Shepherds Bush Empire. Due to poor publicity, it was embarrassingly empty. Maybe 200 people, tops. 
Shame, because it was a great show...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 300 Number 67 George Michael / Wham!

This is probably in my Top 5 songs of all-time. It also features on my funeral CD...

When I first heard this song in 1990, I thought it was very Macca. So I was pleased to hear their duet nearly two decades later.
And here are some Wham! songs...

Interestingly, each word in the title of this song were UK Top 20 hits for Ashford & Simpson, Spandau Ballet, The Commodores and The Sweet respectively...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 297 Number 70 Garth Brooks

My secret guilty pleasure. 
Until now...
OK, so this was meant to show you 9 great tracks by Garth.
However, it seems that Mr. Brooks doesn't like YouTube.
There is virtually nothing on him here.

So, here is a list of my top nine Garth Brooks songs...
  1. Maybe*
  2. I've Got Friends In Low Places
  3. Wrapped Up In You
  4. That's The Way I Remember It*
  5. The Red Strokes
  6. Standing Outside The Fire
  7. The Storm
  8. To Make You Feel My Love
  9. ...And then there's this: With KISS! (Paul Stanley...Woof!!!)
*from In... The Life Of Chris Gaines

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 296 Number 71 Daniel Johnston


According to some, Daniel Johnston is a kind of genius.
He's not, but he's certainly quirky and interesting.
Oh, and he's a massive Beatles fan.
So what's not to like...?
