My final #MusicChallenge of the year is #SimpleMindsTop30 starting on 1st December. The twelfth one I’ve hosted this year so a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to any of them over the past eleven months. 7-9 more planned for January-April next year then another stab at retirement. 😁🎧💿

Unfortunately I can’t fit ‘Find The River’ by REM on this list, because I’ve just realised this Fall track has to feature…

Change of plan😁

Mick Ronson produced Lou Reed’s ‘Transformer’ album, co-produced with Bowie but Mick did a significant amount of the hands-on work, arrangements and playing instruments. As usual he didn’t get enough credit.
