Posted September 23, 200816 yr Heard an old record by Midge Ure recently and after I got over the shock it got me thinking, that it sounded very similar to the Bay City Rollers. Although its not exactly the same if you heard it on the radio there are similarities. I think Midge based Slik on the Rollers, how short sighted was that when their career was just about over and punk ready to explode :lol: Anyone else agree.... Slik - Forever and ever i_mkV0gKISo Bay City Rollers - Give a little love h9KN5GCx1Gs What other artists sound or look very similar to you?
September 23, 200816 yr I'll get the obvious one out of the way first: The Beatles - Rain (1966) Oasis - Supersonic (1994)

Slik - Forever and ever i_mkV0gKISo Bay City Rollers - Give a little love h9KN5GCx1Gs What other artists sound or look very similar to you? this is because a lot of the BCR songs were written by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter who also wrote Forever and ever and also.... ARChFyWu9Hw Kenny - Fancy Pants (which also sounds like it should be released on Creation records in 1996 :lol: ) Q1NK85Z_uiU Kenny - The Bump (this is great!!!) pZcNTaosvGk BAY CITY ROLLERS - THE BUMP i think Travis should do a cover of the bump - it would be the only way they would be able to get back into the top ten...well if glasvegas can rip off barry manilow :lol: :lol: think Slik - Forever and ever is much better than vienna...which is a dreadful record... the faders on the other hand i think would still be with us today if they followed up no sleep tonight by something more Suzi Quatro-ish...tho would be great to hear them do a cover of carter's Glam Rock Cops...maybe McFly could do a decent cover of it??? MNr-bN5AkA0 The Faders - No Sleep Tonight jXok94y3nLg Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive 96JitevQZy4 Carter USM - Glam Rock Cops
September 24, 200816 yr i dont agree tigerboy... 'forever and ever' better then 'vienna'?... no way no way! :lol: the martin/coulter sound/brand of pop was goddamn AWFUL. it was aimed at young teenage girls... 'teenyboppers' <_< ..... bloody little girls having a say in music has been responsible for the success of shyte music... bcr in the 70's, s/a/w in the 80's ... plus 'heartthrobs' like donny osmond, david cassidy, bros, boyzone/pestlife etc... the charts would have been alot more respectable without 'girls' having a say!
September 24, 200816 yr If McFly so much as ever touch a song by Carter USM I will mash them with my fists. I do love Kenny though - two ridiculous songs.
September 25, 200816 yr something for Mushy here...a bad Cascada clone does a bad ultravox record (btw has there been a band called ultrafoxx before??? - that would be such a good name) l6CThc6RVTE Novaspace - Dancing With tears In My Eyes vAf5dIAehzo Novaspace - So Lonely NJjtgnIJ6Bk novaspace - beds are burning Dd_diPTrjpI midnight oil-dead heart 2m3oYeVYdvg Midnight Oil - Truganini QyeTuoWCqUE Midnight Oil - My Country Has anyone checked the Labour party conference to make sure Tim Booth has not become the MP for the Enviroment :lol: - looking at this video it can only be before time... :lol: (tho i think James would like to be more favourably compared with REM in the slaphead stadium stakes) I do love Kenny though - two ridiculous songs. yeah man with you on that point!! Kenny rule!!! Yeah sometimes you can't beat really ridiculous cheesy songs.... Rlc8ExFE9rA dj bobo and lou bega dRr_72sSJjQ
September 26, 200816 yr Author Another two bands that had some early similarities were Japan and Duran Duran. Even Nick Rhodes the Duran keyboard player could be mistaken for David Sylvian lead singer of Japan. These two songs have some similar pieces in the background music, keyboards I think. Japan - Quiet Life zKg3QyHF70U Duran Duran - Planet Earth -recskrzunI
