Big Leonard Cohen fan, yep. And definitely not a lady. A lot of guys love his music. Let's have something different. Can't help liking this and not sure why. Probably something to do with Corfu 1981.

A big favourite of my ex wife. She once paid a tout £200 for a ticket to see him in London. It was a fake ticket
I'll give you 8/10 for that. I've never liked him. In his favour, he didn't record the very most hideous version of Hallelujah.
As a singer songwriter, for me, he's right up there with the very most self-regarding and tedious.
Any you honestly like him?
The only version of Halleujah worth anything is John Cale's.
Much to the disgust of my Young Ones watching teenage self, I don't mind some of Leonard's songs, but preferably in small doses. I recently watched Nick Broomfield's film about him and Marianne Ihlen and came away having a lot less time for him. His life came across as an endless pursuit of his own self interest and he seemed to be enabled by loads of others who were convinced of his genius. His treatment of the women in his life seemed quite shoddy and unfortunately, fairly typical of a lot of feted male artists of that period. Left me thinking that John Lydon was right - Never trust a hippy...

I saw that and came away with much the same opinion, self centred not very likeable selfish misogynist.

I don't think they ever hit the heights again after this

Edit - I've just seen at least one other PC video posted, so forget that.
Pretty easy to guess though, given you don't like anything Genesis after Gabriel left.

Why oh why oh why?
It does nothing for me but I don't loath it like I thought I might. Back in the day when the hairy cornflake was drooling over them in hushed tones (if it's possible to drool hushed) I would have wanted to stab that record in the face, but now.....2/10.
I'm still waiting for something egregiously horrible that someone genuinely likes.
OK, I'll post this track which means it is now void. Void, void void. Truly truly hateful

I love this track by John Miles.
Ya boo, Harry.
I’m going to play it really loudly so you’ll be able to hear it in Faversham.
I know it never pays to find out too much about one's favourite artists (I give you: Steven Morrissey), but....spot on.

I played it LOUD earlier too ... maybe if we both play it again then Harry will hear a superb stereo version in Faversham.
I've seen John Miles 3 times live ... so I've probably gone way down in HWT's estimation. In fact ... in the words of UFO (who I also saw live back in the 1970's), I've probably hit ...

It has to be something you genuinely like. I can't believe you like that. It's on a par with Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep.
I gather that some people genuinely like Devo and Lene Lovic. I can just about believe that. But the above, no. Sorry, no.
I know all the lyrics too, they also have another scorcher that you’re sure to love…

OK. You win. You get a double ten for those two pieces of rich entertainment
If I ever meet you, though, I very dare you to look me in the eye and swear that this is the sort of tomfoolery that floats your boat
Edit - my son (age 36) is round for dinner and says.....he has a couple of their albums....'I can't imagine it could be your thing' he tells me
I not only love Rock Bottom, but when I was 15/16 my band did a couple of UFO tracks when we performed live (Clair Hall in Haywards Heath, couple of venues in Burgess Hill)

You've actually managed to unite myself and HWT in musical agreement and that was never the intention of this thread.
Congratulations
