Alan Connolly surrounded by fans after Corks win against Tipperary.

#Cork won the Allianz #Hurling League Division 1A Final today, April 6th, 2025, defeating Tipperary by 3-24 to 0-23. Alan Connolly, Darragh Fitzgibbon, and Ethan Twomey were the goalscorers for the Rebels. Cork's first league title win in 27 years. #GAA. Clare in Championship up next!

It’s arrived in Qobuz too!

Yes..: When Bowie was denied the rights to adapt George Orwell's "1984" into a musical, he repurposed his vision into "Diamond Dogs,” but you can still hear the inspiration from Orwell's themes and William S. Burroughs' works.

"Diamond Dogs" definitely receives less mainstream attention. Its darker, more experimental nature may have initially alienated some listeners. I love it! The lyrics could be written today
🎵"I am having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up"🎵

Kate Bush didn't just write songs, she wove entire worlds. It's the sheer, unbridled theatricality of her vision, the way she transforms music into a spectacle. Its magical.

Not a dud on it - I find myself going back this album over and over. Its a classic

David Bowies Diamond Dogs Album cover representing Bowie as half a dog.

David Bowies classic, dark "Diamond Dogs" resonates today amid rising political polarisation, global conflicts, mirroring the album's depiction of a fragmented and chaotic world on the brink of collapse, making its dystopian themes eerily relevant. Listen to Sweet Thing/Candidate #5albums70s5 #music

Agreed Richard - I love it! What a debut ... its a testament to the raw, untamed talent of a fearless creative young artist.

Album cover for Leonard Cohens New Skin for the Old Ceremony which features two naked angels wearing crowns

"New Skin for the Old Ceremony" is a significant evolution in Leonard Cohen's #music embracing a richer, more textured soundscape, but his lyrical intimacy remains steadfast as he transforms raw emotion into profound poetry as showcased in Chelsea Hotel #2. Its one of my #5albums70s5 #MusicSky.

Album cover for Kate Bush The Kick Inside featuring Kate bush hanging onto a yellow orange kite

Kate Bush's remarkable and original debut "The Kick Inside" redefined pop #Music and is one of my #5albums70s5. It's intensely personal and strikingly theatrical, a captivating blend of precocious poetic songwriting and mature musicality. Her vocal range and emotional delivery are breathtaking.

Thank you Richard! All 5 of my votes thru to the final! Looking forward to the next challenge. As always thank you for the musical joy you bring to thousands!!

Thanks Gill! Im always a sucker for Bowie! Your choices are class … picking only 5 is always impossible 🙌 #YNWA

Nice choices 🙌… only room for one Neil young in mine but love that album

Nice Triple Bowie Gillian ⚡️❤️

Album cover of David Bowies Heroes

"Heroes" by David Bowie is a landmark album and one of my #5albums70s4. This collaboration with Eno and Robert Fripp produced by Tony Visconti is a unique soundscape that captures the tension of cold war Berlin. The iconic title track is an anthem of hope and one of my favourite songs #MusicSky.

Album cover of harvest by Neil Young (scripted wrting on a yellow background with an orange circle)

Neil Youngs Harvest is a masterpiece and one of my #5albums70s4. Its warmth and gentle melodies in tracks like "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man," suggest peace and nature however beneath the surface lies a sense of honesty, sadness and vulnerability. Its beauty lies in its quiet moments #MusicSky
