One Team In Keynsham Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 43 minutes ago, Red Bill said: I once spent a goodly sum to see Creedence Clearwater Revival at The Albert Hall having enjoyed their music on recordings. However, I reckon they had fallen out with the promoter as they played their recordings, note for note, for exactly one hour with no comments/chat or anything other than what their contract obviously stipulated. There was no encore and never a smile or a flicker of emotion. I felt cheated and could have stayed at home with their records and saved myself a few quid. Back in the early-mid 1980s, if you got a one hour set out of New Order you would have left the gig feeling fortunate: 40-50 mins was common.

For me what makes the Roses great isn't necessarily the famous songs (Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored, etc), it's the uplifting ones like She Bangs The Drums and a load of the songs that didn't make it onto the first album. Music is obviously a personal thing but for me they're ******* great. In fact a load of Manc music is great. We need a spin-off thread for underrated bands. James anyone? Coldplay are right up there in overratedness for me. Some of their older stuff was really good but they've reached a point now where they can release any old dross and it will be lapped up by Radio One and their crew. Can't stand Paradise, think it's one of the most bland songs ever and yet it's loved by the media. Mumford and Sons, Red Hot Chili's, and U2 to an extent are up there too. Whilst I don't get too excited about the Stone Roses, I thought the "Second Coming" was a superb album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they do some of the old stuff, they've got a great back catalogue.

That one is definitely in the 'thronker' category. Where you seeing them? I like my rut. It's comfy. I'd stay where you are, having three daughters I can confirm there is some utter filth out there right now @Woodsy They were epic mate! Reeled off a really good mix of old and new with a couple of reinvented old classics. Nancy Boy was played, it was indeed "thronking". First time i have ever been to the Newport Centre, have to say i was impressed for what is essentially a leisure centre with concert facilities. Was sat front and centre, just behind the "VIP" section no more than 15-20m from the stage. Real mix of older and younger in attendance. As an older fan from back in the day, it was good to see quite a few young un's there down the front loving it. Had i not been suffering from a bad back, i'd of joined them no doubt.

They had two drummers (both bad) and the sound system delivered a constant drone without any notes discernible or any melody or ... anything. Dreadful. Clue in the name perhaps?

But back to the Beatles "best" efforts let's not forget that classic called "Octopus's Garden" amongst other shite (apart from what is already mentioned). Then of course The Fab Four went solo. Lennon had "Imagine" (Ok, good effort). McCartney had "Mull of Kintyre", "Silly Love Songs" & "Mary had a little Lamb" (enough said except to add that he really is a complete dick as well). Harrison had "My Sweet Lord" (Oh dear, he should have stuck with the Travelling Willburys). Ringo had .....erm........ a fair few hangovers it seems. They really were just the One Direction of their time. Nobody has come close to them and probably never will do, the work they did in 7 or 8 years is something of pure genius. They've written so many songs and have passed them on to other artists who have made careers of their own out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could but only if they were rated as the best band ever of all time , which they weren't. They were a good rock band but over rated ? Not sure .
