Let's have a song you love from a music genre you don't.
As a young 'un I listened to this classic by the velvet fog, Mel Torme, over and over again. Heard it again recently and it still does it for me even though I don't usually go for crooner type stuff. Love the organ solo.

Pop bands consisting of beautiful people really are not my thing, but I am happy to make an exception for this belter

When 'The Voice' was launched it was on the premise people would be judged on how they sounded and not what they looked like (the judges couldn't see them) as some kind of antithesis to all the other reality shows that clearly, if not admitted to, focussed on looks.
"OK" I thought "this is promising"
Then when the contestants had won, what was the first thing they did?....... boutique the fk out of them. What a sell-out.

When I was a kid there was family on our street who were quite religious and a bit odd. Some kind of sub-group of Christianity, I think it's called Plymouth brethren? I went round there after school 2 or 3 times. I remember the parents wouldn't let us watch Rentaghost because they said it was blasphemous. The dad had quite a large record collection and I remember looking through it but it was all songs about Jesus sung on acoustic guitar by Melanie, The Weavers and people like that. The closest this he got to rock'n'roll was a Herman's Hermits album!!! The kids weren't allowed to listen to Radio 1 or any contemporary 80s pop music at all.
Anyway one time I was there, one of the kids (there were 6 in all, 4 sisters 2 brothers) got out this 7" single, the only 7" in the house as far as I could tell. It was Crazy Horses by The Osmonds which I had never heard until that day.
They put the record on, and all 6 siblings went absolutely fücking mental!!! These normally extremely well-behaved kids were jumping on the furniture, on each other, banging their fists on the floor and jumping off the bannisters. I didn't recognise it as such at the time because I was too young to know what I was seeing, but I think there was some dry humping going on. It was all very strange and it was a bit like witnessing some kind of shared psychotic episode. And when the song finished they just went back to being the sensible well-spoken role model children they'd been before.
Later I told my elder brother about it and he wanted to go round there and get them to put the record on again. But that never happened, and I never spoke to any of them about that record again. But I've loved the song ever since just because it makes me laugh to think of them all going completely apeshıt bonkers.
I've no idea what happened to any of them, all those kids would be in their 50s now. But I like to think that when they have family get-togethers they all sit around being very nice and proper. Until the DJ puts on that song on and they all collectively lose their shıt.

was never into country music or elvis presley. but me mum was, and every weekend we would wake up to the sound of these....
don't mind these two songs though.
Yep, me too, never an Elvis fan, my best friend from my yoof was Elvis crazy. But this song just did it for me, I loved it. I was a very mellow soppy little sod.

Hmmm ..tough one. I pretty much hate most pop music these days , especially things that have a jive bunny jivey sound. For me, uplifting happy music needs to accompanied by at least 3 ecstasy pills, repetitive beats , euphoric riffs , heavy basslines and over sampled samples.
But. My wife and daughter absolutely love this song and do a whole performance in the kitchen while washing up, cooking dinner, or just hanging out in the kitchen drinking . Its quite infectious , and i love seeing them happy. So im chucking this into the thread.
And yes ive just noticed the thumbnail and my choice had nothing to do with that.. lol

Not keen on reggae but can listen to a little Lovers Rock. I wanted to list Believe in Love from Jean Adebambo's wonderful album Feelings but all I can find on the internet is the first minute at this Facebook link. So a classic piece of Lovers from Ruddy Thomas and a soul track from Jean for fun..
Country has never been my thing, but this is stunning. Was on a surf trip in Canada once and got the ferry to Vancouver Island. Stunning sights, soundtracked by this on endless repeat.

I've always struggled with opera. Although I love baroque, classical, romantic and modern classical music, opera leaves me cold bar some of the most famous 'tunes' like this beautiful chorus.
