November 8, 200816 yr The Corrs - The Right Time (overly twee and ruins Forgiven Not Forgotten for me as the rest of the album is much more serious) I hated this to begin with aswell for your reasons, but it really has grown on me. It's just a very relaxed, summery, feel-good track. If you take it as it is, a simple, radio-friendly pop song, then it's fine. I'm surprised this thread is not hundreds of pages long really. Because essentially, there is not ONE long-running artist (by which I mean more than 10 years) who has not had a blip in their career (or several). It's inevitable really when you've been going so long, everyone has a down day. Madonna's an obvious example. Although some may say different, I would class her as a good artist. She has dozens of fantastic pop tracks behind her, and she's never been interested in settling down and re-releasing the same stuff under different titles like other artists do as they age. She's constantly changing (or "evolving" if you're being pretentious). But that same attitude has led to her releasing some car-crashes. Hanky Panky is an obvious one, American Pie another, and pretty much the WHOLE American Life album. Simply Red and Elton John are two other key culprits. Both are GREAT vocalist, but they sometimes push the schmaltz too far. You Make Me Feel Brand New, Say You Love Me, Daniel, Blue Eyes, BLEURGH. Other key examples; Prince - The Most Beautiful Girl In The World Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me Oasis - Go Let It Out Bryan Adams - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman Blondie - The Tide Is High New Order - World In Motion Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You And other personal choices I suspect a lot of people will strongly disagree with or plain don't know; Queen - Don't Stop Me Now Abba - I Have A Dream Level 42 - Tracie Manic Street Preachers - So Why So Sad Seal - Get It Together U2 - Vertigo / Desire
November 9, 200816 yr Abba - I Have A Dream I so agree - I loathe I Have a Dream..ugh... then again, I also really hate Dancing Queen - give me moody, maudlin ABBA anyday - usually their smaller hits were the great ones (The Day Before You Came for one). Others? Madonna - Take a Bow / Gambler / Dear Jessie / Dress You Up / Drowned World ABBA - Under Attack Goldfrapp - Number One Morrissey - Ouija Board Ouija Board Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind / Where the streets have no name (what were they thinking???) Diana Ross - Chain Reaction Blur - Beetlebum Soft Cell - Tainted Love Culture Club - Karma Chameleon Depeche Mode - The Meaning of Love Alison Moyet - Weak in the Presence of Beauty Duran Duran - Skin Trade The Cure - Caterpillar Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (well, the early stuff was good) Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
November 9, 200816 yr Classic Nirvana = Quieter brooding melancholic verses followed by loud agressive rousing anthemic choruses. How is that not like Radiohead's Creep? Personally, that song put me off getting into Radiohead until their continous release of singles from The Bends finishing with Street Spirit made me go out and purchase The Bends and made me realise what a brilliant album it is. After the album of the 1990s OK Computer came out I went back and bought Pablo Honey ........ big mistake, save Anyone Can Play Guitar it is hard to believe a band who made such a lame derivative post-Grunge debut album would go on to far greater things.... that they continue to release today. Besides the fact the band dropped The Air That I Breathe :lol: Creep from their setlists in 1998 and have seldomly played it since tells you what the band think about the song, and the fact they've allowed the likes of Tears For Fears, G4, Duran Duran & Damien Rice to cover it says something. Creep is to the Radiohead's canon what The Laughing Gnome is to David Bowie's IMHO. Although "Creep" is the song that got me into Radiohead way back when, listening to it now, it comes across as total GUFF, and indeed, it does sound Grunge-lite and incredibly cliched.... And the most fukked-up thing about it... It only became really popular in THIS country when the Americans got into it. "Creep" only sold in UK on a re-release.... So, what, we needed to have a Brit band sold back to us by the Yanks in order to appreciate them....? Richie may be right in saying that Radiohead 'needed' Creep to kick-start them, but that doesn't mean to say that they shouldn't have the right to look back and decide that "Creep" nor the material on "Pablo Honey" is the band they became, or the band they are now... "Pablo Honey" is a largely sh!t album anyway, tbh... "The Bends" came along and totally eclipsed that record, and frankly made me forget "Pablo Honey" even existed... It was like a different band.... "Creep" is a movie soundtrack song (it's shown up on a fair few, usually angsty US "indie" flicks involving sulky teenagers or depressed 20-somethings), a song for people who dont really get Radiohead, but who want to pretend to be cool by saying that they listen to this one track which they DO get... It's like claiming to be a Nirvana fan when all you own is "Nevermind"....
November 9, 200816 yr Nine Inch Nails - Closer... Seriously overplayed, cliched rubbish... The only reason people like it is cos Trent sings "I wanna fukk you like an animal".... Oh PUH-LEEEEEEEZEEEEE, yeah, you lot are really "on the edge", bondage/Fetish/BDSM fanatics by being into that one eh...? If any of you ever even WENT to Torture Garden, you'd probably fukkin' SH!T YOURSELVES..... The song that all these dickheads who claim to be NIN fans all jump up and dance to, and then, mysteriously when another NIN track comes on the DJ's playlist, the very same people dont appear to know what the fukk it is (yes, even stuff like "Sin", "Terrible Lie" or "Head Like A Hole", I kid you not)..... NIN for people who dont like NIN, simple as.... I mean, you do realise that Trent was totally TAKING THE P!SS when he wrote this, dont you....? The fact that he never wrote anything even remotely this DUMB before or since should've really alerted you to the fact.... :rolleyes:
November 9, 200816 yr Blur - Beetlebum Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall :lol: They're my favourite songs from them aswell, though i've not heard many Pink Floyd songs. Edited November 9, 200816 yr by Harve
November 9, 200816 yr :lol: They're my favourite songs from them aswell, though i've not heard many Pink Floyd songs. I dont think "Another Brick In The Wall" is really so bad... It was the very FIRST Floyd song that I ever heard, and I was about 7 or 8 years old as well, experiencing a pretty miserable time at school, then going on to Secondary and being called a fukkin' "Satanist" because I was into Metal, so I'd say it kind of struck a chord with me... Obviously there are far better Floyd songs out there, but I would never label "..Brick In The Wall" as cr@p....
