Are we still talking melancholia or ugly crying because there’s very fine line between those two.

I had a phase of serious, deep depression where all I listened to was Space Odyssey, because it just had the same air of hopelessness that I was feeling at the time.

Nightswimming by Rem.

The whole album is bathed in a bittersweet hue but this one is perfect for the very specific type of melancholia that occurs in late summer when the nights are drawing in and autumn is on the way.

I think his voice lent itself very well to the melancholic side of the Macs early output, fuelled by an obvious internal struggle with his own mental health.

I also unforgivably left Reflections Of My Life by The Marmalade off the list.

I liked his blues stuff, but not a fan of any form of Fleetwood Mac.

The original 5 piece were a blues rock band not that awful soft rock middle of the road crap that followed.
