This is incredible - Spanish version of I Only Want to be With You. Was in Mexico recently and some guy was blasting out unironically by the pool. The 80s video takes it to another level altogether:
 

 

A lot of us latin americans first knew these songs by Luis Miguel. He was HUGE in the 90s and even now. He's got a netflix series based on his life. I don't like him but you couldn't escape his music back then.

Also, this one, same thing:

Bandwagonesque appears to be MIA

The charts are based on votes from across the world, so tend to be dominated by acts who have an international appeal. I’m sure if you counted only the votes from the UK, it would rate a lot higher.

Love him but loads of Bowies stuff is absolute shite. Loads of it. 

The first two albums, Pin Ups, Diamond Dogs, Stage, David Live, Heroes, Lodger, Low and then every album from the start of the 80s until 2002. Next Day is mostly plopsies aswell.

Hang on, let's parse this for one minute - Heathen and Reality, two bang average albums -  are better than The Buddha of Suburbia, Scary Monsters, Let's Dance and Outside? And Diamond Dogs? And Heroes??

Here's my hot Bowie take - The Buddha of Suburbia is better than everything else he did afterwards, with the exception of Outside and Blackstar.

Christine and the queens is the most underrated pop star out there. She should be on level with Adele

Scary Monsters aside - overrated anyway - yes. 

Diamond Dogs is awful.

Diamond Dogs is brilliant. As is Outside.

Did this thread run out of controversies or what? 

Anyway, watching Morrissey's Glasto 2011 set on YouTube this evening. Seems pretty good so far. Probably not controversial enough (or at all) but there we go.

Probably a genuinely controversial opinion, but one I honestly believe, Blackstar was a rubbish album and was only critically acclaimed due to his death.

Most reviews came out before he died.

Coz I Luv You is what got me into music. That and T Rex's Hot Love. Yet I've never seen either band. 

I once walked past Dave Hill of Slade on a Birmingham street and he was dressed in one of his all white stage outfits, one of the funniest sights I've seen, something like this one:

Seen them both in the very early 70s , and terrific live!

Was at both her Glastonbury appearances 16 and19,  and preferred the first one! But both were excellent

[CaledonianGonzo]

Christine and the Queens 2016 is - rightly - regarded as a Glastonbury classic.

A star-making turn made all the more special by the generally grim conditions.

People I’ve Been Sad is one of the best songs in years tbh.

It's fucking great

Mad that her two appearances have clashed with Skepta and The Cure owning the Pyramid. Maybe next time, Christine.

[dentalplan]

I really don't get it with Christine and the Queens.

It's some generic ass pop-funk. Boring vocals. No hooks at all. Heard so many of her songs and just don't remember any of them.

I used to think the whole thing was about her performance because obviously she's a fantastic dancer so that would excuse the music being there for background but then people actually listen to her songs when they're not looking at a screen or at a stage so idk. 🤷‍♂️

Looks like an advert for Gap.

I thought it was the best thing he'd made in years in the couple of days of listening between release and his death. The title track is spellbinding.

I couldn’t disagree more, she is utterly pretentious donkeytwaddle

She is considered a good dancer? Really?
