Jyrojets are fab...but I can't get through:gringo:
-
Nicklecreek...smooth bluegrass not an electric instrument or drum in earshot
-
phil collins - sussudio
Ahem...that's rank rotten. Try out Prince 1999 instead which that baldy bugger ripped off in the first instance.
-
The David Bowie track from the Ziggy Stardust album. The track starts of
"I'm an alligator, i'm a mama papa coming for you!"
Moonage Daydream...oh yeah
Here's a few poptastic tunes:
Prince - 1999
David Bowie - Life On Mars
Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer
The Beatles - Penny Lane or indeed anything
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
Love & Money - Candybar Express
Orange Juice - Rip It Up
The Monkess - I'm A Believer
Jellyfish - Baby's Coming Back or anything else by them
The Bees - Amina Menina
Jackson 5 - ABC or I Want You Back
Gnarls Berkley - Crazy
-
The only problem with that is that nobody can agree on what the under 100% stuff is. We've been through this before, but whenever you discuss The White Album you always find that the ones you don't like are other people's favourites.
Exactly keep it as was intended warts n all
-
There are some things people don't need to be exposed to, like paedophilia and avant garde "music".
If that was taken from the The White album then it's as well taking out all the under 100% stuff and having the 1 LP as George Martin had wanted. I actually like the thing as it stands "warts n all"
-
It's Christina Aguilera for me. Her voice actually gives me a headache. I once threatened to quit a job if the manager didn't stop playing her fucking CD in the shop. It put me in a bad mood every day.
I'm with you there too brother
-
Too late..it's been and gone:gringo: But forget her lyrics for a tad...her voice does nothing but fill me with anxiety and rage. There's not many people that I must turn the radio off to...but she's one.
-
That is surely the worst of the worst. Lyrically, it's offensive.
There's something about Kate Melua which brings to mind fingernails on a blackboard. First it was The Closest Thing to Crazy then that Bicycle "fact" nonsense just topped it off.
-
And not forgetting...
Back In The U.S.S.R.
I Will
Julia
Yer Blues
Mother Nature's Son
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me & My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Long Long Long
Revolution 1
Back to shite songs
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
Cliff Richard - Mistletoe And Wine / Millennium Prayer
Kate Melua - 9m Bicycles / The Closest Thing to Crazy
Bryan Adams - The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You
Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero
And then the ghastly "novelty records"
The Tweets - The Birdie Song
Black Lace - Agadoo
Mr Blobby - Mr Blobby
-
Hmm, can't say I go along with that, there's loads of different styles on the White Album. And stuff like Rocky Racoon and Piggies is quite silly as well if you think about it.
I agree, it's very diverse and it works well like that ...The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill is every much a nonsense kids song. The songs I really don't like on there are Don't Pass Me By, Goodnight and Revolution No.9 (though I respect it's inclusion of such a challenging track and glad they did it).

Id Do Anything for Love (But I Wont Do That) by Meat Loaf- a Bonnie Tyler favourite and the epitomy of what was good about the eighties, and I disagree with it's positioning entirely.
WHAT? Are you sure you didn't do a typo here. It's surely the epitome of what was BAD about the eighties...and it was released in the 90s.
"The End" by the Doors I also quite like. But it might be for the context in Apocalypse Now.
Good for the few moments in that context but why would anyone want nearly 8 minutes. Doors/Morrison don't do it for me.
This list is indeed froman American standpoint but does nail a lot of rank vomit inducing records:
BILLY RAY CYRUS Achy Breaky Heart
HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS The Heart Of Rock & Roll
THE BEACH BOYS Kokomo
BETTE MIDLER From a Distance
4 NON BLONDES Whats Up?
CHICAGO Youre the Inspiration
MR. MISTER Broken Wings
EUROPE The Final Countdown
REDNEX Cotton Eye Joe
The number one reminds me of when I first heard the thing that is Starship's We Built This City. Entertainment USA on BBC2 with pervo King and my first reaction was that this would never be a success in Britain as it was everything that was bad in music...pompous, paint by numbers good old USA bombastic AOR...and it became No1 within weeks. That's when I knew public taste could never be trusted and the charts were a sham...oh and that Jonathon King was Satan!
As for Ob la di Ob la da...I don't mind that at all. There are many other bands with worse music than that. o_O
-
Listen to these two songs. Am crazy or is it a blatant rip off?
Listen to the beat, the plodding bass line, the piano and the backing vocals.
Actually sounds a bit like a bland generic Jellyfish...more than ELO. BTW why on earth would anyone want to mimic ELO?
-
Led Zep absolutely suck dog dick. Wanky, screechy, self-indulgent, tight trousered nonsense. I thought punk wiped all this kind of shite out in the 70s? We have to endure it again?
Flogging a dead horse? Que the Pistols for another "one show" reunion
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Sex Pistols to make live comeback
Foreigner sucked satan's cock first time around with the rest of the AOR bullshit and should be down in hell with him.
-
I found that cover offensive.
Yes indeed McFly made a bad choice as you cannot improve perfection...aka Jellyfish.
I'd like to add two further clangers of bad taste:
Queensryche - Scarborough Fair (a b-side but surely in line for comedic accolades at it's overwrought pomposity..indeed check it out if you can, it's so bad you must hear it)
Far Corporation - Stairway To Heaven (AOR plodders plum the depths)
And to put that nail in your coffin what about the desperation cover albums e.g. Duran Duran "Thank You" , Def Leppard "Yeah" or the daddy of them all (read em and weep):
Status Quo - The Cover Up
1. Get Back
2. Runaround Sue
3. Centerfold
4. Don't Bring Me Down
5. Roll Over Beethoven
6. Fun Fun Fun - Status Quo & The Beach Boys
7. Hound Dog
8. Mony Mony
9. Get Out Of Denver
10. Rock 'n' Me
11. I Fought The Law
12. Pump It Up
13. Proud Mary
14. Old Time Rock 'n' Roll
15. When I'm Dead And Gone
16. Once Bitten Twice Shy
17. Tobacco Road
18. Claudette

Of course, I forgot it's actually illegal to not like the Beatles.
No of course not, but to say they were "shit" is ignorant of what they achieved e.g. I don't particularly like Elvis but he wasn't "shit".
-
Let's not turn this into a "why the Beatles are actually shit" debate, eh?
No trouble of that since it's a completely irrational, banal and subjective argument. Hell, even the Manics have been touched by their hand. Thumbs aloft
