hamster Posted 10 November, 2009 Posted 10 November, 2009 For those of us of a certain age... PHWOAR!!!! At every single point of her carreer I have fancied the knickers off of her. Not exactly under-rated, but perhaps under-appreciated?
St Landrew Posted 10 November, 2009 Posted 10 November, 2009 Oh come on peeps, you wouldn't kick her out, especially if she sung you a song for your efforts.
hamster Posted 10 November, 2009 Author Posted 10 November, 2009 Oh come on peeps, you wouldn't kick her out, especially if she sung you a song for your efforts. He started it.:smt022 Anyway, she was on TV last night and as I just thought I'd seek out any other Alf fans. She was big around the time of another of my favourite singers Paul Young, O think there was a year when they won best female and male singer respectfully. Alf is a truly iconic album for me and Yazoo imho were responsible for really bringing a certain genre to the fore. 'Upstairs at Eric's' is a great album title too although only contains one decent track. I'm off to Spotify some Alf now, anyone care to join me in a litle Love Resurrection?

I've a very limited Steely Dan collection, but have been playing it for the last 20 minutes. Brilliant stuff, which I'm going to fill in with a bit of Spotify.
harvey Posted 10 November, 2009 Posted 10 November, 2009 The single 'Ode to Boy' from 1994 is well worth a listen.
hamster Posted 10 November, 2009 Author Posted 10 November, 2009 Re. yazoo, I wish to correct myself after having my memory jogged by Spotify's library; there are 2 decent tracks on their first album which was followed by an even less impressive effort that contained ony 1 decent track - Nobody's Diary. I would add that Moyet's voice is awesome on every track that Vince and she made though imo. Vince Clark is quite a clever bloke though having said all that about hi Yazoo time.
St Landrew Posted 10 November, 2009 Posted 10 November, 2009 Re: hamster's hint of mozying off to Spotify. So did I, but my Steely Dan adventure lasted 5 tracks. Don't ask me how but I ended up playing 1000 Umbrellas by XTC. No apologies - superb.
hamster Posted 10 November, 2009 Author Posted 10 November, 2009 (edited) Alison is touring atm: http://www.alisonmoyet.com/index.php?option=com_eventlist&view=eventlist&Itemid=97 Might try to make the Poole gig at the end of the month to rectify never seeing one of my favourites live. She's at Basigstoke this Thursday btw. Edited 11 November, 2009 by hamster
swannymere Posted 11 November, 2009 Posted 11 November, 2009 One of the best female voices to come out of Britain IMHO, sometimes a picture doesn't tell the whole story;)
swannymere Posted 11 November, 2009 Posted 11 November, 2009 Not a patch on Jamelia. I quite liked some of her stuff and i'm surprised she's disappeared.
hamster Posted 11 November, 2009 Author Posted 11 November, 2009 Not a patch on Jamelia. I would fight any man to defend Alison Moyet's honour. Britain's first lady of jazz, soul, schmooze evn new wave and electro. She has done it all. Alison Moyet, two words: Only You

Another of Britains musical greats.
Gigersaint Posted 12 November, 2009 Posted 12 November, 2009 I always liked Toyah and Kim Wilde when I was a mere teenager... sigh
percy windham Posted 12 November, 2009 Posted 12 November, 2009 There plaiying Salisbury soon too. I bet they are good to watch live. Great band, great musicians. Another of Britains musical greats. Have you gone mental? Steely Dan aren't British, they are however ace live and on record. Do you mean steeleye span? moyet is also a munter.
