Port Said Red Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 At the risk of stealing one of @AppyDAZE future threads, here’s one to discuss. I do have this theory that any band or artist that hangs around long enough, will eventually make a song or two you like, but is it true? I’ll start with Still haven’t found what I am looking for- U2 but there will be others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them a lot, but mostly the early stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Never a massive Blur fan, or Oasis come to think of it... but I do like a couple of Blur tracks. Oasis? mmm Here come the hate mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Fleetwood Mac. My mum played them endlessly when I was a kid which resulted in me detesting them. But “You Can Go Your Own Way” is a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing I ever heard by them was Cigarettes and Alcohol, it was on an NME floppy disc give away, and I thought hang on, these seem alright. But I never quite got that feeling again.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Never been a huge Elton John fan but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 29, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 A slight tangent, but I went to a festival and the first night headliners were UB40, never really listened to them much, not a huge reggae fan. I was going to see them start and then wander off for a mooch round the rest of the festival site or even go to the village for a pint. Never got there, they were brilliant, they knew how to play to a festival crowd, the songs were performed really well and the whole crowd was up on their feet. I'd certainly go and see them again.

Lew-T Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 The Killers. Probably because Mr Brightside is always the last song at a party event! Drives me insane. Really like smile like you mean it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton John is a bit of odd one out for me, I like a lot of his songs, but usually put that down to the fact that Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics of the stuff I like.

I think once you have heard one Oasis song, the rest are just diluted versions of the song you heard first. And Wonderwall can **** right off.

The Saturday Boy Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Mumford & Sons - I hate everything by them. I hate their pseudo Waterboys / Levellers style. I hate myself for tapping my feet along to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Everything by Deacon Blue irritates me crazy (hot dog, frog or whatever it is they say), but I sometimes sing along to it Just realised it's Prefab Sprout Always did muddle those two up. Hate BOTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not fond of either, but my wife loves both, so I have to suffer their music at times. And I'm with you, they do tend to bleed into one bland act.

Give me an album and I' promise to listen to the entire thing and let you know what i think. I'm all for a challenge. I prefer albums, so if you can suggest one, i'll youtube-listen to the whole thing if poss. This is Prefab Sprout btw, I'm not sure I could do a Deacon Blue one.

I have been taking advantage of my new deck to listen to vinyl I have not played in years. Today's offering is the 1987 debut by Colorblind James Experience. Give it a go.
