I suspect that might not get too many votes if we polled it, but the cool thing is that you think it is!
I shall play both those tracks here now in your honour :)

16: Rod Stewart - Reason to Believe

There's a case to be made for this and Maggie May being the greatest double-A side. Offhand, I can't think of a better one.

kicking myself for missing this challenge

not sure why, but your posts don't often show up for me. This is a shame because you post some bloody great stuff like this

Top list Jubbs. I'm very happy to see Still the Same in there. That's my fave by a mile

Couldn't make up my mind which of two to choose today, so I asked ChatGPT (and then chose the other one anyway, sorry Alice)

We've had The Supremes earlier, now la Ross solo

A bit of James Brown-esque funk to brighten your day. Good gawd, y'all!

tried it today. I'm afraid Lovers Rock hit me a bit too hard.

I do wish I'd seen Bob back in the day. I never had the chance. There's a few of his records I play a lot

this and Reckoning are essential, if you ask me

I heard this last night on Mickey's show and immediately fell in love with it. A murder ballad from Luvcat and...John Cooper Clarke.
It's brilliant.

yeah, I've heard all the rumours about you matey :)

a day of coincidences. Literally 10 mins ago Al Wilson's The Snake came on random, and I thought of you :)

Ooh, I'm liking this. A smidge of glam, a touch of early 00s pop-punk, a little Harvey Danger and Silver Sun, perhaps a pinch of Jeff Rosenstock

I need to dive into his stuff one day soon. I had the Jamie Wednesday singles when they came out, like a fair amount of Carter, but haven't really tried the solo

Not many, I reckon. I bought the Hangover 7" in the mid 80s (still my favourite song of theirs) and just sort of kept going with them :)

I feel your pain. I see the same thing :)
