Castilian lyrics make more sense than the French ones.

Miles Davis - Live Evil (1971)

Davis assembles a very fine band (incl John McLaughlin, Keith Jarret, Jack DeJohnette, Herbie Hancock, the late Chick Corea (), Wayne Shorter, Ron Carto, Airto, many others) to play electronic instruments to long form funk jams as arranged by Miles. Davis occasionally plays trumpet as well . . . Not as grandiose as Bitches Brew but better grooves.

This song came up in a Spotify playlist: Mustan Kuut Lapset - Ikaros.

Is it me or are they copying "I just died in your arms tonight" by Cutting Crew?

[Eddie Teach]

Yeah, I heard it.

Here's another with a familiar chorus:

Tell me that doesn't sound like [spoiler]Wild World by Cat Stevens[/spoiler]

[Syt]

It's close, but without spoiler I wouldn't have recognized it.

And then there's of course the classic "4 chord songs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ

Yeah, I couldn't place it the first time I heard it, it just was bugging me, where have I heard that before?

Melodicka Brothers have made a very good sad cover of Spice Girls' Wannabe as depressing Spaghetti Western song: https://youtu.be/4H_6nnB94wY

That's about a good a summary as I've ever heard.  Except not always about the soft part.

One of the ironclad rules of air guitar is the song needs to have a guitar part.

For my money, Trans Europa Express by Kraftwerk is still the best eolectronic song ever made. https://youtu.be/zOfh7YdugzQ

The completely lousy play-back was done tongue in cheek I guess or hope. It was during some kind of late '70s comedy show anyways.

The Amazing Bud Powell Vol 1 (1952)

Plenty of album titles use this kind of hype; this one of very few that actually lives up to it and amazes.  The other example being the Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery. Although in both cases I think they had another recording that was even better - the Roost Recordings for Powell and all the live albums Wes did with the Wynton Kelly trio backing him. 

Anyways - Amazing Vol 1 is really 2 different recording sessions: a quintet from 1949 and a trio from 1951.  The qunintet is interesting - it was recorded more than 70 years ago. One year later, one of the participants - Fats Navarro - was dead, and Powell himself would be institutionalized for a year or so shortly after doing the 1951 session.  Powell would also pass away young (in his 40s).  However, 2 players on that 1949 recording - Sonny Rollins and Roy Haynes - are still alive today and last I saw anything about them, were still in reasonably decent health.
