Sigh. Sarcasm just doesn't translate well online all the time. Now we'll never know if I knew it was Under Pressure or not.Sorry I always think of the Under Pressure version with the two of them. Sad to think they are both gone now
No, sarcasm does not translate well online.
Not just not all the time, but, also most of the time.
Moreover, it is not necessary in an agreeable, welcoming, pleasant, thread such as this one is.
Now, back to the topic under discussion on this thread:
I am listening to the spine-tingling song Nessun Dorma, from the opera Turandot by Puccini, sung by the late, great, Luciano Pavarotti.

The whole original sound track by Andrew Lloyd Webber / Tim Rice is great - so many great tracks - a great nostalgia trip back to 1970
I listened to the whole album yesterday and then followed up with some Arlo Guthrie, not that they are connected in any way - just stuff from my "hippie past" lol
That's actually the only version I was aware of. So, I was joking that it could be songs they never dueted on. This is a joke free thread.
Haven't really listened to them since Age of the Fifth Sun, which is a fantastic album.
I really should give the newer ones a spin one of these days.
I love Touhou themes (as you can probably guess by how many arrangements I post here), but this is going through my head:
(10 minute video, but it loops given it's a video game theme)
As it happened, I didn't either.
It is a music thread.
That is why people choose to post here.
Please, then, therefore, do bear in mind that sarcasm and humour and "jokes" are 1) not expected, 2) mightn't be understood, let alone 3) appreciated, and, 4) that humour, anyway, is a personal and highly subjective thing, very much dependent on context, while, 5) people have a right not to find someone's attempts at humour funny.
Now: Music: @Apple fanboy has reminded me that it has been far too long since I last listened to REM.
So, a few songs from REM: Daysleeper; Lotus: Bittersweet Me; E-Bow The Letter; Everybody Hurts; Losing My Religion; Bang And Blame, and Man On The Moon.
Not sure how I randomly chose REM yesterday and Radiohead today. But all great tracks you listed. Everybody Hurts and Loosing my Religion being two of my favourites.
Terrific tracks, and I can't believe that I haven't listened to them in an absolute age; thank you for the timely reminder.
I just love the song "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" - an awesome track, to use the US expression.
