I find (whoops) that I failed to say that Marshall Hamburger (yes, that is his real name), won Australian Idol 2025.
Marshall is from Noosa on our Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane, and was congratulated on his success.

On one of 16 - 18 February 1979, I saw my 16th concert, at Festival Hall, as was usual for that time, namely Rod Stewart, who had sold out 3 concerts there.
It was his
Hot Legs
Born Loose
Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)
The Wild Side of Life
Get Back (The Beatles cover)
You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)
I Don't Want to Talk About It
(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right (Luther Ingram cover)
Blondes (Have More Fun)
Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?
I Just Want to Make Love to You (Willie Dixon cover)
The Killing of Georgie (Parts I & II)
Maggie May
(I Know) I'm Losing You (The Temptations cover)
Sweet Little Rock And Roller (Chuck Berry cover)
Sailing (Sutherland Brothers cover)
Encore
Twistin' the Night Away (Sam Cooke cover)
You Wear It Well
Maggie May is one of my all time faves
.
There is a funny aftermath to this one.
Two years and a couple of weeks later, I married my first wife, Jan, who, as my girlfriend then, had been my date to the Rod Stewart concert.
We were booked in for our wedding night at The Park Royal motel, just up the road from Festival Hall.
We had the Honeymoon Suite booked, but at the last minute, that was unavailable, because of the stay of a Japanese visitor who had a bath, as they do/did then, squatting down outside the bath, ladeling water over himself, which had flooded the carpets and they could not dry it in time.
So we got elevated/upgraded to a higher floor, where the rock stars stayed, at no additional cost.
Jan said to me from the bathroom "I wonder if this is the same toilet seat that Rod Stewart sat on?"
I thought to myself "Crikey! I hope they have cleaned it since then"
It was his
Blondes 'Ave More Fun Tour
, and the setlist was as follows:Hot Legs
Born Loose
Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)
The Wild Side of Life
Get Back (The Beatles cover)
You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm no fan of vintage music either, I very rarely listen to music overall and when I do it must be something totally modern like mixes on YT relating to psytrance, deep house, chill out and similar.
craftwerk autobahn sounds nostalgic, not bad, thank you for sharing.

... lol, well they were the founders of techno music, so worthy of accolades in their own right, IMO.

I was going to wish someone a good night's sleep, turned out they were up. Very late...or early, too.

I do love me some Rod Stewart. He's a fun one to cover and I can sound like him pretty easily. It can be a bit 'boring', as none of his music is really all that complicated to cover. But, his well-known songs are still fun to cover and an audience in that age range will be familiar with the music - which is as important (when you're a cover band) as skillful playing.
As a billiard-game aficionado, I want to know how good he was at playing pool. I've yet to have the chance to ask him.

Make a sticky! Better yet, make a sub forum dedicated to music genres.
...
There IS a sticky.
We have enough music threads. If you want to share music, find the most appropriate existing thread and use that. Thanks.

No, there isn't. I'm having trouble sharing the specific post (using my phone)
What Music Do You Like? #26
@wizardfromoz answered you, saying it's not a sticky thread.

(Yawn...waking up)
Morning all.
Perhaps with the following I can resolve this difference of perception?
Dates are east coast Australian.
Took us a long time to get Off Topic created, that's up to the Boss...I don't fancy your chances.
Now, back to the music...and more coffee

- March 26 a Member started https://www.linux.org/threads/whats-music-do-you-all-like.56078/
- March 27 there, David G said "If folks want to share the music they listen to, there are several threads already dedicated to doing so." and
- "The're Rock Roxx that is stickied, I'm pretty sure. There are a couple of others that you can look for but someone will post to 'em eventually and bring them to the top" and
- "Those thread authors can also comment here to show you their various threads.", which Condobloke did. Arochester could not post about his Classical and Jazz threads because he passed away.
- April 17, I created and stickied https://linux.org/threads/music-lovers-please-note-before-you-post-a-new-thread.56426/ which contains links to a number of music threads
- May 23, yesterday for me, I responded to David G's comment from March 27 saying Rock Roxx is not stickied, which it is not (but is referenced in a stickie)
