During the course of this year I aim to upload a song every day for your consideration as to whether they were good enough and sufficiently commercial to have become UK Top 20 singles. Many different genres will be represented, so if this particular one’s not your preferred style then hopefully it won’t be too long before you find one that is.
For those songs that are interesting enough for you to give them a proper listen, please press “like” if you think it could have been a hit, and “dislike” if you don’t, in the hope that we get enough votes to obtain a balanced overview. Also, if leaving a critical comment please try to take into account the year of original release - most of the songs that I'll be uploading are decades old so it wouldn’t be surprising if some sound dated now.
Today’s choice is Burning Questions by The Korgis, or James Warren depending on your point of view. First released in 1985 as a Korgis single, it was then included the following year as the title track on James Warren’s debut solo album unchanged from the single release so make of that what you will. Either way it’s a great up-tempo synthpop tune with a grandiose operatic chorus, which only added to its commercial appeal.
Hopefully you’ll drop by again tomorrow for something completely different!
