Manage episode 460694255 series 3566654
Sure, we've all got a favourite carol or maybe anthem and words matter with them. Hard to imagine a hymn with la-la-las instead of lyrics halfway through.
But you know how people say "I never forget a face, but I'm no good with names." It seems to be a badge of honour for some people to say they can't be bothered with lyrics, almost as if it shows strength of character.

Take a medium-sized dive with Vinyl Maelstrom and find out.
Be expertly briefed each week on a wide variety of intriguing musical topics.
