I said, "All fame is temporary." He pointed out that Oasis was touted as the "next Beatles" when they first started and I pointed out so was Duran Duran and One Direction.

I have to admit that the only one I'm familiar with is Oasis, and after listening, it's the one I like the least. :) <br /><br />The one I liked the most? Sezen Aksu! Very, very cool! I love the mix of Eastern, Western, and Arabian influences. Maybe it helps that I have no idea what she's singing about, so my mind assumes it must be deep and epic. ;)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-89556212418573657722014-07-11T11:48:33.022-04:002014-07-11T11:48:33.022-04:00Turkish pop music is going to be my new thing Deni...Turkish pop music is going to be my new thing Deniz.

I see Madox Ford was an author with a German birth name ... (Ford Hermann Hueffer)- changed probably due to the Germany reference after WW1.<br /><br />The longish 'summary' states - he hopes that the national commemorations of 2014 - 1018 in GB will help recruit the new readers Ford's majestic, and troubling, novelistic sequence richly deserves.<br /><br />So he has a fan there .. I do know a bit about the class system, but haven't read the book.<br /><br />Interesting re your lists ... cheers for now - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-78562308943252961492014-07-10T23:46:44.304-04:002014-07-10T23:46:44.304-04:00Posts like yours inspire me to read more fiction; ...Posts like yours inspire me to read more fiction; I've been reading scholarly nonfiction books for my dissertation, which are not much fun to read.
