Guest alex Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 How can anyone not love abba or the bee gees or Elo or hairspray etc Youngs of today brought up on plastic factor. Also used to be into Heavy metal when I was about 12. Didn't like the sore heads off headbanging though. Was nee lover of the Bee Gees or ELO, but you're spot on about the X Factor generation. I could listen to stuff like Mott The Hoople all day long, and 90% of the stuff in the 80's when most people actually came up the novel concept of writing their own stuff. There was loads of dreadful stuff in the 80s as well like. I do miss novelty singles that you used to get on TOTP which you rarely seem to get these days. It's all so sanitised now, seemingly. Aye but there'd be songs not even in the top 10 which were mint. Aye though there was a good amount of stuff like Russ Abott, and Donald Where's Ya Troosers which got high in the charts. Remember that song Jack Your Body, they were the only words and it got to number 1 IIRC. When we were kids we'd play in the street every day and night, but 730 on a Thursday everyone went in for TOTPs. Not like that noo. I think Jack Your Body (Steve 'Silk' Hurley) was the first UK house record to chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few documentaries about that era and quite a few of the people who did some of the genre-defining tunes were just young kids who'd made them in their bedroom and hadn't even been to the clubs in Chicago / Detroit where they were getting played.

Mac-Toon 1 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Deek the Juice, Lindisfarne and Jimmy Nail are basically all I listen to out of choice. Half the shite on the wireless is cool kids singing about their mam didn't make their bed etc. Although I am partial to a bit of Scaffold - Lily the Pink for some reason. Elton fucking John, give owa', man. I am jealous of his crop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9221 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Young can tell by the way I use my walk a womans man no time to talk. Fucking magnificent lyrics. That you've got wrong. :icon_lol: fwiw I think people new chart music with new music. The charts have little bearing on the original stuff coming out, they're just kept off the airwaves by the conveyor belt of X-factor spastics. This new one, Matt Cardel is, by all accounts, a blander male version of last years winner, who was blander than the year before, etc. etc. I'm sure someone will be on saying "well they must be good because loads of people buy their records", well they're not. They're ear-rape. Not even that, at least that would have some gusto, they're ear-feel-her-up-when-she's-asleep. And he's covering Biffy's Many of Horror? And changing it's name? ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luniz, Warren G and the likes. This owing to the fact I was a 'proper caner' back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12896 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 S.O.S. by ABBA was one of John Lennon's favourite pop songs. Just so you all know. I love ABBA tbh. The breakdown in Voulez-Vous is class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So it's the fault of reality music shows that people aren't into classic pop/rock any more... that'll be the reality music shows that have "Elton John week" and the like every bloody series?

I once spent days in my bedroom making up a techno? version of wham rap using a double casette recorder. Thought it sounded brilliant but it was shit.
