Mr Blue Sky on Out of the Blue (double whammy) by ELO, of course, noting the Kelly Groucott thread again.

Many more in my iTunes library, I'm sure; will take a look.

Deep Blue Day by Brian Eno on Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, for example.

Weird: that all says something quite strange about my musical tastes. Semi-representative at the very best, missing out huge swathes of things. Perhaps that says more about certain of the artists than of my tastes overall ...

Flying in a blue dream - Joe Satriani
Out of the blue - David Gilmour
Nothing but blue - Brian May

Isn't there a Miles David thing, that's on the tip of my tongue, and I'll kick myself when I remember it? LOL

Surely blues songs with the word "blues" in it are cheating :-)
There must be hundreds...

Cheers

David
