The FCF Musical Advent Calendar 2020

[mickthemaverick]

Neil going back to 1960's brought a very different name to my mind and there is one hell of a choice but I've picked this for something traditional:

Another great day on the calendar comes to an end with 42 groups chalked up and a fair variety of music among them. Thanks everyone for your contributions, without which the thread would be a total washout!!

And so on to the "E"s with our now customary reminder of where we are with the calendar as it stands:

Own creation

To get the ball rolling gently my first offering is from the Electric Light Orchestra celebrating that which earned me my living for the first 15 years of my working life:

[Hell Razor5543]

How about Evanescence? I chose this video because I love the grin at the end

[NewcastleFalcon]

On 16th May 1971 East of Eden reached Number 7 in the UK Chart with Jig-a-Jig. Still remember it. Not that it was a particularly good vintage for the chart. No I like Perry Como, and Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Shirley Bassey, but I think pop music was ready for a shake up.

So probably for the first time since 1971 here's East of Eden

Damnit! I was going to drop a couple of ELO concert tracks in with a fairly special lady in.
Oh well!
Evanessence too. Must get up earlier

ELP

Quite like this:
Everything But The Girl


Much better by Holly Cole though.

i hit the submit as the internet clock ticked onto 00.00 on the phone.
Besides which the calendar is the dividing line so the ELO is after the calendar!!

[myglaren]

Cheated and dropped it in the Jukebox with an explanation.


Europe

[Paul-R]

Damn, that's a couple scratched off my list before I've even started.

So, I'll start with the Eurythmics. Annie Lennox looks fabulous and sounds pretty good as well.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

[Paul-R]

I'll follow that up with a representative of the second Mersey sound invasion.

Echo and The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

[mickthemaverick]

.....Mick may have peaked too soon.........
