Had me some Nancy Boy the other morning, bloody loved it..... That one is definitely in the 'thronker' category. Where you seeing them? Haha, yep there is no easy way to say you enjoy that track! Newport Centre in December. Hope they do some of the old stuff, they've got a great back catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Blue Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Police (Invisible Sun was the only one that was any good) The Stranglers (Golden Brown, see above) The Archies (may be too early for some readers) The Spice Girls (not possible to add further comment without resorting to profanities) All Saints (they made lots of records apparently but can name only one, and that was abysmal) Frankie Goes to Hollywood (were huge for a time but disappeared as quickly as they surfaced. How they were as successful as they were for that short time is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like Morrissey and so therefor thought i wouldn't like The Smiths. Post 30, different story, appreciate him/them so much more these days and enjoy listening. Typically have Radio X on a home, The Smiths and Morrissey certainly get played regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to the Spice Girls, All Saints and Frankie, I think you have confused commercial success with being highly rated. In each case I don't recall critical acclaim raining down on the act.

Although it has to be said that as none of the band played on the records, perhaps it is Trevor Horn, Steve Lipson and Holly Johnson who deserve all the credit.

Noone really mentions SFA either, maybe not their later stuff but earlier stuff YES!! Plus a whole load of electronic artists which I can't be bothered to list, but the whole electronica/IDM scene is very underrated ....and if you love the SFA earlier stuff, they are doing a gig in bristol in december of their first two albums. Cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people know them only for Our House and House Of Fun, which are decent songs but annoying and overplayed. But Madness's back catalogue is fantastic - Mike Barson is a brilliant songwriter and there are some true gems on albums like One Step Beyond, Absolutely, Madness 7 and The Rise And Fall.

Tipps69 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 The biggest disappointment I've seen live was Paul Weller, massive fan of The Jam etc but his solo live stuff was dull & boring!! For all those Coldplay haters, they are by far the best act I've seen live & I've seen a fair few acts, I don't tend to listen them on my playlist but live they were fantastic.
