What are you listening to? Part XXX - Sexxxy tunes for sexxxy folks

You may laugh, but I love that song. And she sounds so sexy when she says "Hi, Barry".

A massive bonding moment between my father and I was when he saw a photo of my girlfriend at the time, who looked like a young Streisand. I felt like he was so proud.

Looks so much like Barbra Streisand. She has gotta be Jewish with a face like that.

Ha! That was actually Streisand, but yeah, the girlfriend in question was Jewish.

No Christian sex guilt with the Jewish girls I've 'known'. As one other girl said to me one night, in a matter of fact way, 'Jews like sex'. And she most certainly did, although it got me banned from staying at a mate's flat. She's a red top journalist now.
 


May or may not pass the @Bleaney test.

He needs to rethink the Italodisco though.

That's a pass.

I still don't get Italodisco though. It's so naff!? I hadn't even heard of it until your recent mentions, and I've briefly skimmed parts of the wikipedia page about it just now.

Unless you're going to tell me this was the invention of the entire electronica / synth / drum machine type pop music that exploded onto the scene in the 80s.

At best, they may have "invented" the template for the kind of crap that Stock, Aitken and Waterman flooded the market with in later years?

Isn't it generally recognised that Kraftwerk were the pioneers of the whole higher quality or superior segment of the genre, for example with the release of "The Model" in 1978, and isn't it them that went on to be highly influential on the more critically acclaimed elecrtonica artists? Which does seem to be the same time Italodisco was doing it's thing. And they may or may not have influenced the whole wave of crappy synth pop disco that came afterwards and was admittedly extremely popular. But it was still crap, and always grounds for me to change channel, unless the performing artist was a scantily clad and highly sexualised female, as they usually seemed to be.
 
No, Italo was the bridge between the likes of Kraftwerk and pop. And it was so inventive at the time.

But I can tell this is a losing battle.
Right OK. That's worth knowing I guess.

So they are to blame for spawning the genre of music that I mostly strongly dislike?

Sorry but I just don't like that type of music.
 
Do you not think it'd be exciting to hear that kind of stuff on a Mediterranean dancefloor, especially considering the state rock music was in?

But you win, so we'll go to a rock artist who also saw a chance to get a piece of the future.

Maybe it was for some, but I recall that most rock fans in the 80s despised that kind of stuff, and any rock band that dared used keyboards or a drum machine was in danger of alienating their fans, until a greater acceptance eventually settled in the second half of the 1980s. And people moved on, and maybe became more open minded.

I'm not trying to "win" anything. It's just my opinion, and at least now I understand the significance of your posts, even if they are not to my taste.
 
Relax. I'm not saying you seriously 'win' anything. Just me being me.

I used to be rigid in my tastes, and I'm happy to say I'm only semi-rigid (oo-er) now.

But what about the Neil tune? You HAVE to respect that.
 
Yeah, sounds good to me. And obviously a massive departure from the type of music he's more usually associated with.

It seems to be a case a bit like Queen's Hot Space album, where a rock or guitar based band went all disco or electronic?

But unlike Hot Space, which apart from Under Pressure was a terrible album, the Neil Young track is decent, and I don't know about the rest of the album.

I bet many of his fans would have hated it.
