The perfect pop song

Recommended Posts

On Planet Rock today I heard "Maid in Heaven" - Be Bop Deluxe.

 

Perfection pop ... four minutes, belting guitar riff, witty lyrics, memorable intro and outro, and Bill Nelson's from South Yorkshire!

 

40 years old, and puts the current music scene to shame.

Hi steved32. Be Bop Deluxe were a great band and I agree that Maid in Heaven is a cracking good pop song - but my personal favourite of theirs is Modern Music, with its radio-being-tuned-in intro. Is Bill Nelson still alive and making music?

Yes, he's almost 70. Check out an interview on Cherry Red TV with Mark Powell - YouTube.
