I get pretty sick of hearing the same Christmas songs every year. Some radio stations start playing Christmas music 24/7 the day after Thanksgiving (the 4th Thursday in November). Anyway, I heard a new one this year that I thought was great. Not melodic rock or rock at all. "Christmas Is Just Around The Corner" by Barry Manilow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Yr9_34Y4Y Speaking of Barry, he may have the most ironically titled song ever in "I Write The Songs".http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,923844#msg-923844Fri, 24 May 2013 04:52:38 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,924061#msg-924061 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,924061#msg-924061 ytsejam NoticeboardFri, 21 Dec 2012 05:24:59 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,924008#msg-924008 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,924008#msg-924008

If that were the case I'd have said 'these' institutes - not 'those'. 'Tis a matter of grammar dear boy :-)


Just out of interest - are we about to engage in another one of those surreal banter sessions that go so far off topic as to make us both look mildly insane? If so, I'm comfortable with that. :D]]> RAMSAY NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 09:14:00 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,923911#msg-923911 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,923911#msg-923911-------------------------------------------------------

A career highlight on an otherwise decidedly poor (by his standards) album. Amazing song.]]> illimey NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 08:27:33 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,923910#msg-923910 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923844,923910#msg-923910
