Ragged GlorySoll Rossi allen Ernstes eine einzige 45 ranken, Delia!? Hahaha!
Bei „San Jose“ muss ich übrigens passen – aber welche „Classic Rock“-45 hatte denn das Nachsehen?
1. Mini-Ranking im Sinne von… siehe Rossis Mini-Ranking eben; Eagles – New Kid In Town.
2. Ihr basht mir beide Nick Lowe zu sehr.
3. Dionne Warwick wird übrigens auch von den Ikonoklasten wertgeschätzt:
We love [her] record Golden Hits Volume 1, where she sings loads of Bacharach and David Songs. We own it collectively;[…] We’ve pulled the record apart, listened to every instrument, the drum patterns, the backing vocals, the very understated chk chk chk guitar Sound, which mostly plays on the off beat.[…] Ari and I try and emulate Bacharach’s classic song structures when we write, but the result is warped because it’s filtered through our lack of technical ability.[…]The lyrics are different to David’s because we are being honest and specific about our own experiences, which are different to an American man’s experiences (and he is master of course). We were trying to write great pop songs, but ended up creating something new by accident.
