What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

Time to audit the record cabinet – starting at left and listening to whatever it is that is there. First up Supertramp – Famous Last Words. 



Well, it’s not Crime of the Century, or Crisis? What Crisis? – it’s the last album with Roger Hodgson and is weighted in his favour, I think. Death knell for the classic lineup of the band it might have been, but there are still some good sounds on this – I was really taken with the Davies penned "Waiting So Long" on this listen. Unfortunately, very scant Supertramp clips on YT.
 
That was followed by Freddie Mercury – Mr. Bad Guy. 



Well now – Freddie in all his flamboyant fabulousness with a little bit of filler and a handful of songs that put said filler in the shade. Best of all – at the bottom right corner of the lyrics liner and after the credits is a superb little Freddie gem – lol!! I can just visualise him saying this out loud …

"This album is dedicated to my cat Jerry - also Tom, Oscar and Tiffany, and all the cat lovers across the universe - screw everybody else."
 
The beautiful "There Must Be More to Life Than This" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgKSv0gK_NA

... and the title track ... 





Thank you Mr Mercury … (next up Deodata – Prelude … this could be quite a trip) ...
