Fleetwood Mac! Specifically all the songs from their awesome album "Tusk" from the Eighties!

Loved Tusk! Never heard the full album, but the title song, "Sara," and "Think About Me" were all hits.

Total love, from what's extremely likely to be my favorite album of this year!

A channel away after the footy the other night was an old show brought back for a one off reprise. I caught the last 5 minutes, in which was this from a Ukrainian pop group.

The final episode of Luther had a remix of the Cure's "A Few Hours After This" play through the credits. It's a B-side I only own on tape, which should indicate how long it's been since I've heard it. I was still able to sing along with the entire thing. Some songs just stick with you.

^^For someone who considers herself a Cure fan, I'm criminally ignorant of their B-sides, so thank you for that, Dave.
Last year, I saw a used copy their Join the Dots: B-sides & Rarities box set, but I didn't have the money for it.

This VERY 80s Roxy Music synth-rock cover of one of the Byrds' most well-known self-written songs will doubtless seem like sacrilege to many listeners, but I like it. Roxy's leader, Bryan Ferry, has a prolific but erratic history of recording covers (the same Roxy album featuring this song has another cover, a laughably bad version of Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour.")

Although Nico's dour monotone isn't everyone's cup of tea, I actually prefer this version to the Bowie original; Bowie's vocals were IMO a bit hysterical on the original, and when his voice would crack (which was often), it sounded to me like nails on a chalkboard.
