Post by: superval99 on July 28, 2009, 07:30:29 PM: Only the first couple of bars of the intro, otherwise it's not a bit like The Bug. I do like this song though and I like Richard Thompson! :)

Post by: Simon on July 28, 2009, 10:34:01 PM: Shadow Play and SOS? Come off it! Shadow Play is good hard rock and (very basic) roll. A great song and one of my favourites but nothing like SOS.

As for BIA - I was really shocked when I first heard it as I was also a Snowy White fan and thought Bird Of Paradise had been well and truly ripped off!

Post by: ds1984 on July 29, 2009, 11:40:03 AM: The first time I heard "Who's your baby now?" it reminded me of an old Beatles b-side single composed by John Lennnon, "Rain"

Post by: superval99 on August 02, 2009, 04:16:10 PM: "Artificial Paradise" reminded me to dig out my copy of "Number 10" and every track on this album is amazing! It would be difficult to pick out favourites, but I love "Insurance" and "The Jailer", they are all good though! :D
