“Fade to Grey” is the debut single by Visage, released in 1980. Written by Billy Currie, Chris Payne, and Midge Ure, with lyrics by Steve Strange, the synth-pop classic became one of the defining songs of the New Romantic movement. It reached #8 on the UK Singles Chart, #1 in Germany and Switzerland, #2 in Belgium, and the Top 10 across much of Europe.

The song's distinctive bilingual vocals (English by Steve Strange and French by Brigitte Arens) helped give it its mysterious, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Although it was Visage's only major international hit, "Fade to Grey" became hugely influential on synth-pop and electronic music, inspiring countless artists and remaining one of the most iconic tracks of the early 1980s.

Colin Vearncombe composed "Wonderful Life" in just 10 minutes in one of the worst periods of life: divorce, two car accidents, a sick mother, with no home and almost no money. The title "Wonderful Life" is totally ironic, Colin was being sarcastic about the "wonderful" life, but the audience interpreted it as positive. First released in 1986 on Ugly Man Records, it reached #72 on the UK Singles Chart. Re-released in August 1987 by A&M (after the hit "Sweetest Smile"), and was a worldwide hit: #8 on the UK Singles Chart, #1 in Austria, #2 in Germany, France and Switzerland, #7 in Australia and top 10 in several European countries.

“Moonlight Shadow”was released by Mike Oldfield in 1983 as the lead single from his album Crises. Featuring the ethereal vocals of Maggie Reilly, the song became the biggest solo hit of Oldfield's career, reaching #1 in several European countries, including Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, and Spain, and #4 on the UK Singles Chart.

Although many listeners have interpreted the lyrics as being inspired by the 1980 murder of John Lennon, Mike Oldfield has never confirmed this, and the song's true meaning remains open to interpretation. Maggie Reilly's haunting vocal performance became one of the track's defining features, helping turn it into one of the most beloved pop songs of the 1980s.

Alice in Chains delivered a powerful performance of “Man in the Box” at Japan’s UDO Music Festival, with Sebastian Bach taking over lead vocals in tribute to the late Layne Staley. It was a memorable performance that paid respect to one of rock’s greatest voices.

Have you seen this performance, and how do you think Sebastian did?

Just two days after Prince’s death, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their Brooklyn show with “Purple Rain.”

The arena turned purple, and Nils Lofgren delivered a magnificent guitar solo worthy of the moment.

A beautiful farewell from one legend to another. 💜

“The Chain” is from Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 masterpiece Rumours. The only track on the album credited to all five members, it is famous for its dramatic build-up and John McVie’s iconic bassline. Despite never being released as a single, the song became one of the band's signature recordings and even reached the UK Singles Chart (#94) in 2021 following a resurgence in popularity on streaming platforms and social media.

The band pieced the track together from different demos recorded during the emotionally turbulent Rumours sessions, with the famous bass-driven finale bringing the composition together. That closing section later became famous as the long-running theme for BBC Formula One coverage from 1978 to 1996 and again from 2009 to 2015.

"It has all the Queen trademarks."

—Sir Brian May reveals why 'Friends Will Be Friends' is the ultimate traditional Queen sound, crafted by Freddie and John 👑

"Freddie's written a song called 'Friends Will be Friends,' and I think Freddie and John worked on it together.

It's something which I took to heart very much as well because it's kind of a traditional Queen sound.

It has this… If you can remember 'We Are The Champions' or 'Play The Game,' it's in that kind of mould, and it has all the Queen trademarks.

Yet it's a new song and a new idea, and that's something I instantly related to.

Very nice, very good track. It sounds very complete."
