tigerboy

i started a thread about them the other week - but nobody was bothered...obv to be like so passe in such a hype driven/i'm so cool cause i know this new synth band type of area is such a crime....

yeah even when i heard it in the original russian thought an english version would be big...

you couldnt see how well these were gonna do...kid rock had been massive in other markets and was picking up loads of airplay here....and ting tings had so much good hype behind them as well as the radio one advert...which also helped gnarls

oh those were the days...of the its only out for one day top ten hit (see also doves)

should make it into a GBU...so at least everyone is not criticizing obv targets... "THE GOOD" JbM-Yh-G9Vc HUMAN LEAGUE - BEING BOILED :cheer: :yahoo: :cheer: "THE BAD" m3fe14TcC5I The Human League - Open Your Heart :( :puke2: :( "THE EFF-ING UGLY" EfpXPqHUANI The Human League - Soundtrack To A Generation

at this point think this comment should go here...and wasnt punk less to do with musical talent with just picking up a guitar* and going for it...? esp when it has been reported as a reaction to all those talented types who were so talented with their intruments they wanted to show you via a solo that lasted 30 minutes, and all those soft rock, jamband and almost famous types of bands like i guess doobie brothers, The Allman Brothers, foreigner, chicago, King Crimson, Yes, and the Kings of Leon (well maybe not Kings of Leon but someone who could be Kings of Leon :lol: ) etc *well except if you were Philip Oakey and co who think they were being more punk than punk as the guitars were like too hard to play and thats why so they choose synths....and i suppose everybody else reading this will be like...but you cannot criticize Dare..its such an iconic album...tho its got on it Open Your Heart and that has to be regarded as one of the worst songs of the 80s - its horrid.... "THE GOOD" JbM-Yh-G9Vc HUMAN LEAGUE - BEING BOILED :cheer: :yahoo: :cheer: "THE BAD" m3fe14TcC5I The Human League - Open Your Heart :( :puke2: :( "THE EFF-ING UGLY" EfpXPqHUANI The Human League - Soundtrack To A Generation however think its a bit pointless like totally trying to comparing punk with this kind of disco-pop...tho are we saying that punk-rock is nothing but simple pop here?!?!? think maybe another comparison is needed - American production powerhouse Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis perhaps... Alexander O'Neal Criticize CySYwZNH65I HUMAN LEAGUE - I NEED YOUR LOVING M1N4X3VMUHI HUMAN LEAGUE - LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS 5jBwWP0YMws Janet Jackson & Herb Alpert - Diamonds MHFGTcx8yjk and have you noticed all these songs above sound like Jam and Lewis productions as much as what people say s/a/w productions do...but i guess this will not be a criticizism of Jam and Lewis as they are american and black...

healys other group member in haysi fantayzee. according to wiki - it says that became a photographer... and talking of photographers who have dodgy pasts in c**p 80s pop bands... http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00461/Alexa-Chung_280_461381a.jpg here is Alexa Chung's ex-photographerboyfriendman looking like a complete tit on an Australian pop show sometime in the 1980s...don't you just love the set design...do you think they've got the mercs off a couple of random mini-cab drivers parked outside the studio... :lol: bQPAhhskS-4 iDmeCfvAOO4 it's no wonder alexa is not going out with any photographers who have dodgy pasts in c**p 80s pop bands at the moment - not the thing to do when your an it girl on the cover of elle!!!

and as i said earlier...this thread - its less about the music more about politics...and i guess thats true for phil collins as well - as isnt didnt he said he would leave the country if labour won an election...and a certain group who dislike s/a/w seem to equally dislike phil collins as well...coinscidence..yeah totally... and even if Life At A Top People's Health Farm is an attack on the Conservative administration so what? thats like totally irrelevant to me...(Thatcher's time in office just another item in history as much as the 1948 london olympics, the queen's Coronation and the Empire Windrush) and can only be judge by what it sounds like and on this occasion i would say worse than the blow monkeys.... ZDWcE9LfsdI Wp7lZ6L0q3U London Is The Place For Me - Lord Kitchener xMfy2LzqiM0 Young Tiger - I Was There (at the Coronation) mDzitLRrt2Y Mr. Loverman by Shabba Ranks HHAnOQyXhGI Wire - In Vivo and what does that have to do with anything, wire have had 2 small top 75 single hits paul young 21!!! love - 0 hit singles, westlife 14 number ones, laibach - 0 hits ocean color scene - quite a lot....moby grape nothing whatsoever but inxs - bloody loads. why would you want the reynolds girls to have any more hits?? kinda missing the point there. (tho un updated aatw remix making it I'd rather jack than Nick-el-back...would be more wanted than banananananananrama doing voyage voyage :lol: ) well as i've never got round to youtubing that record yet - what you should have said does that song sound familar? yes it's most of Bleachin' - Peakin' ywOuL9_lZ_E and then i could have posted haysi fantayzee - shiny shiny yet again and maybe we would have to agree with each other that yeah they might be something worse in dreads in the 80s than boy george :lol: :puke2: SjsnkIP4ddo and btw the new Lindsay Buckingham album is suppose to be very good but nobody will buy it as its not branded as a fleetwood mac album...well thats what most reviews say as the last fleetwood mac album started life as a Buckingham solo album...

maybe its a good thing that you have brought into a thread about s/a/w an artist like Stevie Wonder..a hugely talented artist of the 1960s and 1970s..responsible for some brilliant records of the 1960s and 1970s...and some utter utter c**p since then...remember he is part responsible for Ebony and Ivory - perhaps one of the worst songs ever made...and even worse than Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder's Together In Electric Dreams (tho i will flag this up in worse ever lists rather than that as tbh i prefer brian wilson's work to Paul McCartney's)...so maybe pete waterman is a similar type of genius working along the same lines...tho this one going from from Tracey Ullman to One True Voice....rather than from Superstition to So What The Fuss!!! eRoWE9nL_a8 Stevie Wonder - So What The Fuss... TZtiJN6yiik Ebony and Ivory - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :arrr: maybe it would be easier wondering if Jay Kay should take over from Richard Hammond on top gear!!! YMMQqE9x6i4 Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity Boy George as 4th judge in X-Factor...don't you mean 4th, 5th and sixth judge in X Factor :lol: ...sorry seemed to be having a pete burns moment for a while there :lol: :lol: ....as far as the x-factor goes i dont watch it so dont care who the judge is tho i guess that Sharon Osboune is much missed - fake tantrums and all....

they come up quite a lot...tho i think elbow will like them.... yeah dubstar are good - but as i was looking at dubstar the other day here some other stuff fg5jm6Zj6II Frazier Chorus - Storm It95QwdxXY8 Frazier Chorus - Cloud Eight GieeErXHsz0 Frazier Chorus - Nothing fsxNK2JRXig TECHNIQUE - Sun is shining oGLsivVX0VA Technique - You and Me (sounding like creation records indie-electro version of Kirsty Hawkshaw) Yeah - and they've got a best of coming out very soon!!! however should have a proper good heavenly records best of for their anniversity...that would be good....think you could say its an under-rated record label..as surely in there any further cuts at emi that would be the first to go...esp if it came with a special bonus disc where 18 of the best heavenly acts all had to cover right said fred's mojiove in their own style...could have Edwyn Collins, Beth Orton, Dot Allison, Magic Numbers, Doves and Vanessa Quinones / Espiritu. BjCyvyRyVfQ Tin Tin Out feat. Espiritu - Always...

Well I think its time for a 'what is better: I'd Rather Jack vs Paul Weller social commentary' .....!!!! fRAiY6vD74g I'd Rather Jack QGaW5RT6TbQ The Style Council - Life At A Top People's Health Farm 1D1BwzBiVi0 The Style Council - Wanted 9YsklP-Ah4o Waiting - The Style Council msOhgUIsZM8 The Style Council - it didnt matter and yeah after listening to that the conclusion is that I'd Rather Jack is a much better record than any of Paul Weller's social commentarys from that period - dull plodding pop-funk excersions and esp with a song as bad as Wanted something so bad that if you had a choice you rather wanna listen to dave lister's om song than that!!!! 2MRf7DrWsBk Cat - Tongue Tied (tho it could easily pass for a style council tune!!! :lol: :lol: )

yes its quite ironic if you take the (McLaren) view that the Sex Pistols were a manufactured band when banananarana was not!!!! Girls Aloud are great and would be the most brilliant pop act of that type ever - even better than s club!!! - if they hadnt released any cover versions or appeared in those dull itv2 show (their dvd had all the videos as an extra - so it was a rare occassion where i didnt bother watch the main feature....)...the show has to be one of the best songs ever!!! AsdhKdOXAi4

don't know - some of their records are alright but the synth-brass/synthetic sax sounds just too awful - cant listen too that - my mum likes them a lot...as for the really early ones - maybe early banananrama racords were good because they were terry hall records...and thinking about another really really awful 80s band and its members....i guess without terry hall the following dave stewart records would just be dreadful.... 98PgTQOCYmY terry hall/dave stewart/Vegas - Possessed MPeVcaexEbE terry hall/dave stewart/Vegas - She's Alright (The Beat) B9BGXd1meHw terry hall/dave stewart/Vegas Feat Siobhan Fahey - Walk Into The Wind i9T0Cc0gmkE Sense- Terry Hall & The Lightning Seeds (this is most perfect pop!!!!) as for Venus...it might be a soul-less cover (i actually dont mind it as hi-nrg covers go and i guess there are worse covers of the song) but a billion times better than these ones by Jolley and Swain...who seem to be some kinda early 80s pop-soul powerhouse... fQIeWfjkan8 Bananarama - A Trick of the Night lFx6cvw8ye4 Bananarama - do not disturb Steve Jolley (1950) and Tony Swain (20 January 1952) were a successful pop musician, songwriting and record production duo in the United Kingdom in the early to mid-1980s, producing some of the top artists and songs of the era. Their first known collaborative work was released by the late Irish singer Joe Dolan on his 1980 album "Turn Out The Lights", which featured four Jolley/Swain compositions. In 1981 they reunited to produce the debut single "Body Talk" for Imagination. They produced four albums for the group and eight hit singles including "Just an Illusion" which peaked at number two in the UK Singles Chart. At the same time they produced albums and singles for Bananarama, including the classic "Cruel Summer".They subsequently produced the True album for Spandau Ballet, the title track reaching Number one in the UK chart in 1983, and its follow-up Parade. In 1985 they released their own (instrumental) album, "Backtrackin'", from which "Soul Street" was released as single. In 2001 Jolley was jailed for sexually assaulting a 12 year old boy. He was arrested again in 2003 by detectives investigating allegations of child sexual abuse against TV presenter and actor, Matthew Kelly. (wiki edit) these are alright i guess even tho the cover of long train running sounds also like a rip-off of boy george's generation of love (then again seeing as its like one of only two decent records he has made i guess that could be seen as being alright) BvBWoesmLvI Bananarama - Long Train Running NVYVbRnEVr0 preacher man - bananarama FKOt1MBMxIU BRILLIANT - Somebody http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/61/Brilliant_-_Kiss_the_Lips_of_Life.jpg M8j2z9eBxdI Brilliant - Love Is War (sounds like a poor propaganda record!!!) at this point you might like to know that The Word magazine has a feature about Killing Joke this month and Clash has a feature on the Orb - might be better to get those two magazines than buying the new album by the verve!!!! cVgMEsMZdcQ Killing Joke - Love Like Blood eIeOtrpu2Rw Killing Joke - Eighties zk7SZYdAL_U Killing Joke - Pandemonium K1jvrvdQMt8 Killing Joke, Millenium

C8L5l3UxCiw Sharpe and Brown - the Masterplan well i suppose thats 3 - 0 to Lever & Percy... :lol: pete burns on the other hand: "parted ways with Stock, Aitken and Waterman and in 1989 released the self-produced Nude, which featured the hit "Turn Around and Count 2 Ten", a single that spent seventeen weeks at #1 on the Japanese charts. It was followed up by "Come Home with Me Baby", which hit #1 in Brazil" (wiki) eFBlPXM_m_w Dead Or Alive - Turn Around And Count 2 Ten lXZAkNUZh9A DEAD OR ALIVE - COME HOME (WITH ME BABY) so just how vomit awful are these records...? think they could have done with a bit of S/A/W Magic dont you think....seventeen weeks at #1 on the Japanese charts!?!?!? OMG!!! if thats so You Spin Me Round must have been#1 there for months...and Twiggy Twiggy could be still #1 to this day :lol: :lol: :lol: z22nzBVLCto Pizzicato 5 - Twiggy Twiggy

maybe it is...but then again...this lot will make you vomit even more...maybe phil collins is not the worse solo member of genesis...tho obv people will say the blokes who left in the 70s are much much better... 764ZIoY216E Mike and the Mechanics ANOTHER CUP OF COFEE JYikxPcJK1I Mike and the mechanics.

yeah that was one of the one-hit wonders articles in i think mojo the other month...however even tho erasure and boy george was mentioned - o dont think Jeremy Healy was actually mentioned once...Gavin Rossdale might have more luck getting his name in the article... :lol: and dont you think that other e-zee possee record sounds like deeelite? well i know its not the same dude - but talking of Donovan i think got to get a copy of Hurdy Gurdy Man NyV0SKTl_JM Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man on the other hand T5oiyk_LiGo No Angels feat.

Dubstar back in orbit... Dubstar have reformed, eight years after their final album Make It Better. Since the trio split, Sarah Blackwood has sung with electro duo Client. At myspace.com/dubstarofficial, the band said a new album - with the working title United States Of Being - will be released this winter. Steve Hillier said their new album features an old Yahama grand piano which he bought from Gary Numan in 2006. Please note: DO NOT MOVE THIS THREAD OUT OF THIS AREA INTO POP THANK YOU!!! here's some songs that sound like the sundays going baggy....
