@praetorianus72 Without even looking at your comment, the word that popped into my head during the solo was "dirty." Good stuff.

It's NOT Christmas-y, and don't you think it changes the tone, the entire texture of the song, if you call it a "White Celebration"?

@DENo1MatchGameFan I know! That's where I read it, as preposterous as it sounds. How many country music radio programmers even LISTENED to Led Zeppelin, or did they just say, "Oh, no, loud ee-lectric GIT-ar! We can't play this ... this... HARD ROCK business!"

@edulema1 What's Justin Bieber got to do with this song?

@SuperPellepennan You might be right, but the "Something's Going On" single debuted on the U.S. Top 40 on Feb. 12, 1983. I remember it on the radio in the spring of 1983.

This was what was great about Men At Work. None of the singles from either "Business As Usual" or "Cargo" were love songs. Maybe it penned the band in, in the public's view, as a sort of novelty band that ultimately couldn't be taken seriously (which I wouldn't necessarily agree with), but it pro...

@djtre467 I wouldn't say this version "sucks" by any means. It's Exile's interpretation of a song that had never before been recorded. If it's possible, you have listen to this version without Huey Lewis and the News's version as a reference. There are elements of both versions that are identical...

Unless you take this song completely seriously, you need to just .... laugh, and realize versions like this are done at Howard Johnson's lounges all over America every Friday night. Seriously.... laugh! :)

@jouxplan Great luck with the Duke Suite! Looking forward to it!

Wonder how many of the 81 dislikes came from members of the Tea Party. Reagan was "a great president," ya know. :D

@bassdegroot Obviously, the best part of the song. :)

I, too, appreciate "Invisible Touch" much more now than I did when it first came out. Back then, I was much younger and had just discovered the early 70s material and, naturally, thought it MUCH stronger and MUCh more creative. But with some distance, you begin to understand where the band was, a...

Yes... to me, "the same band".

@RobertoArceCorretjer Neither Foreigner nor Journey sounded like this. That was my point.

Five Finger WHO??

I don't care what youngsters today listen to. I'm just thankful to be old enough to have heard this not all that long after it came out and to appreciate it and what Genesis's music is about. We don't understand what the youngsters listen to, and why should they understand an album from now 33 ye...

This show was the first time I'd seen Huey Lewis and the News. I truly thought THIS was what they were like all the time, with this much energy. I liked the bands music through the 80s, but nothing tops this performance, to me.

@BlueFalcon86 So if you're not battlin', you're not breathin'?

It's September 1983 all over again.

Only Earl Hindman could be Wilson, the voice, the hint of uncondescending condescension.

@pedrospore Who are you? Simon Cowell?

It would be nice to see a "conversation" like this where both sides are intelligently represented and not created to make one side look like morons. But I realize that's never the point.

I think if someone started talking ot me about the price of gold in "reisch" marks in 1922 in that tone of voice, I'd start walking away, quickly. OK, maybe I'd stop and ask him to say "Illumi-naughty banksters" again.

Love that steel guitar...

@rwk1983 Hardly. :) It's a great send-up of a big piece of English culture.

I've always preferred this version over the one that's on CD 2 of "Script...". The church organ sound before the "Lurker" part. And I like the sound of the keyboard in the "Finale"... that "sinister violin" sound. I love Marillion's whole output, but there's just something about the music from th...

@enzo2enzo2enzo Do you suppose it helped David Gilmour that he had a model, such as Hank Marvin? I don't mean to denigrate David Gilmour at all. He's absolutely one of my favorites. But it's a lot easier to follow someone else's example, even if you're "perfecting" a particular sound.

@danaase43 me, too! :)

Is this not one of the most fun songs, ever? :D

@chanchan121212121212 Why?

@mhinc25 The MAJORITY of ALL THOSE THINGS? If that's "for the record," please share where. By the way, relax. It's just a song.

Shannon's great. She's among the most knowledgeable of the reporters who cover the Mariners. Just as she said, she builds relationships with the people she covers, yet she'll ask the tough questions and have opinions. I'll bet a million dollars she's better at what she does than "Speedy Palomino"...
