Anyway, here goes:
I Wannna Know Where Love Is: Foreigner.
Gloria: Laura Brannigan
Like a Prayer: Madonna
Done With Bonaparte: Mark Knofler
Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen
and two more for good measure:
Spanish Eyes: Madonna
Don't Leave Home: Dido
No blues? Odd, you may say. But the above moved me to tears.
God bless you, Viv! What a thread! Gets feathers ruffled!  |
Interesting list, Jeremy - should have expected nothing less!
Curious about any influence Mark Knopfler's playing might have had on yours, as many people (including me) thought that your playing on the track "Precious Little" sounded a lot like Knopfler.
A side comment - I've thought Knopfler's work hasn't been the most consistent but he's had some brilliant moments, and some of the tracks from his recent
Get Lucky album are among his best solo work. Particularly like "So Far From The Clyde." Have you heard that album, Jeremy?
