I'm pleased to release the first Fan Favorites video of 2023. We're going back to the Master List in this episode for deserving songs that haven't made it to the channel yet. It made for quite the eclectic carpool of musicians and songs. I enjoyed everything...and many of these songs were first time listens!

Fan Favorites: Episode 11 (Songs from the Master List, Vol. 2)

Nice set, Doug! I hope you return to Novella soon (but not before listening to Ashes Are Burning, hint, hint!). In particular, I think you will like Midas Man and The Captive Heart, two shorter songs that got me hooked on the band. Touching Once Is So Hard to Keep is the album's epic closer. In Can You Hear Me, I think the narrator isn't so much expressing her own loneliness, as taking a critical eye to how those people she observes build their own walls of isolation. She calls out to them but goes unheeded. You may like earlier Talking Heads better, such as Psycho Killer, Found a Job, and their famous cover of Al Green's Take Me to the River. And I don't think you have done any Brian Eno songs yet -- the albums "Before and after Science" and "Another Green World" would be excellent places to start, but he has an extensive discography.

I’m so glad you listened to the Joni (I think I was the first to recommend it on the Discord?) and I’m SO glad it resonated with you the way it did. The first time I heard it, it stopped me dead in my tracks. Your description about it seeming to exist without beginning or end is spot on. We are just happy to connect to that feeling for a few moments. What a genius she is.

BRIAN MILLER

Thanks for this. I think Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime" was the only one I was familiar with. The vocals by Annie Haslam in the Renaissance song reminded me of Maddy Prior's singing voice in Steeleye Span.

Chris Moorcroft

Thanks for Old And Wise. Colin Blunstone was the voice of The Zombies in the Sixties, and is one of the few singers (along with Steve Winwood) who still sounds as good now. The Zombies are just releasing a new album and touring this year.

John Baird

Just got tickets to see the Zombies, we have seen them a couple of times in the past few years. Colin Blunstone is as good as he ever was. If you do get the chance go and see them, as Rod Argent is also a founding member they do play a couple of Argent songs. Sooperb stuff

LTE's Key is great, reminds me of the instrumentals in Epica's Kingdom of Heaven part 3, without Simone's vocals.

As to GG 3 Friends, don't buy it, the LP will be inbound...

I’m on cloud 9! Hearing Can You Hear Me from Renaissance with the smart comments of Dr Doug, it makes my day 🤩🙏 Overall, a wonderful fan favourites with a great song choices.

Gerard Dion

I am really glad you enjoyed "Can you Hear Me" by Renaissance! I came fairly late to the band and I think they may be the most underrated and underappreciated band in prog rock/rock. You have the magnificent voice of Annie Haslam and the band is a wonderfully talented group in both musicianship and songwriting.

Great video, all good and interesting song choices. Not a big fan of Once in a Lifetime, it always felt like it was building up to something but then stops just short of that point.

John Reed

Talking heads was the only one I know.

John Reed

I wasn't a fan of Joni Mitchell, but really liked Hejira.

John Reed

Never heard of LTE before. Looking forward to hearing more from them.

SwedishPete

Looking forward to when Doug comes to Alan Parsons album Tales of Mystery and Imagination, far more interesting than their later more mainstream albums.

Adrian Goodrich

How did I miss this at the time? (Writing in Jan '25). I've always wanted Doug to review this, one of my very favourite Renaissance songs ever. Never realised he already did!! Wonderful! EDIT: I realise now. I was very poorly round that time :(
