      What's the fuss? Is it because she's got Ed Miliband on guitar?

      She's all right (if you like Sunday School teachers) but she's no Kathleen Edwards

    I hate this theme... you know fine well if "they've" never heard of whoever you're attempting to showcase there's not a snowball in hells chance of a play.

    I predict...

    Justin Currie
    Travis
    Deacon Blue "LIVE" at T in the park
    Associates

    you get the idea, sorry y'all

      It's another non-theme - you can say you've just discovered anything.

      Tonight we're looking for your new discoveries. Tell us about the music you've just started listening to, a new album released by an artist you've loved for years, or a vintage recording you just came across recently.

      Well that narrows it down then(:-)

      I think I'll listen to HarryfG. I hear he's doing a T Rex/Blondie/Queen Special.

      I've rediscovered Blondie thanks to the power of TV advertising (:-)

    I have just discovered how good Bruce Springsteen is and hope they play one of his many outstanding hits. Secret Garden would be great.

      He's probably kicking himself for not realising the band were named after the products of the Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin he learned about in primary school.

    Talking of discovering Hallelujah, I liked Julie's fb comment that one of the contestants on pish factor announced at their audition that they were doing a cover of Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah.

      It's still there. I don't see how they can moderate you when they produce smut like this:

      "Goodmorning! ... just warming up for some rockin' Air guitar moves, or an epic bit of air drumming and maybe even a round of muscle-pulling"

      Yes, Billy - they could just have said "records you like a lot"

      August 8 2011 was the last time they did this, I think. It always seems more recent. I remember the Coronation, you know.

      "Je suis une rock star" comes to mind quickly or "Denis" by Blondie or "San Plange pour moi" by Plastic Bertrand. All damn fine songs from years gone by".

      Pretty much sums things up on the other side...

    Good effort Glen!
    Great start with four on the trot but fell short of your record of seven.
    6 and a half (Dean Martin - wrong song).

    You'll be vexed you didn't include Blondie on your list.
