| Nadir Rising .... OK, that's my band and TBH, we freakin' rock!!!!!
Looking at those so far ...
- Arctic Monkeys ... cool and as a bass player, I have to love what they play.
- Slipnot ... "Slipping away" ... need I say more?
- Justin Timberlake ... not only is he 'bringing sexy back' but he's the human beatbox! His mother must be so proud!
- Robbie Williams - I actually had a ticket for him on the 16th of September at Milton Keynes through work, but still in the official 9 days of birthday celebration that the Medders has to observe, turned it down for a Metal Gig where I got invited onto the stage to sing Prime Mover by Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction (and then invaded the stage for Born to be Wild), but I would have loved to see him live ... hey, I saw Elton at Vicarage Road a year or so ago sponsored by my work, and he was great as well!!!
- Gerri Halliwell - Watford girl so I have to love her, and all in all the Spice Girls had some good tunes (the more upbeat ones).
- Erasure - Vince Clark? Yazoo and Depeche Mode? Come on ... surely that's enough pedigree for that old dog, AND Erasure reformed and were touring about two months ago ... see press for details!
- Bucks Fizz - Eurovision winners ... compared to this years effort, I'll leave you to form your own conclusion ... OK ... THEY EURO ROCKED!!!!
- Jackson Five - "Can you feel it?" ... oh yes I can, brilliant disco track and an inciteful equal rights song.
- The Commodores - 64 or Omega, your basic workhorse computers of the 80's ... considering Matthew Brodrick almost destroyed the world with an old IMSAI in Wargames ... oh, the band? Hey, Faith No More recorded Easy for a reason! Great tunes.
- The Gogos? Belinda Carlisle? Without them there would be no Circles in the Sand! Also, one of their later songs was written by Billy Joe Armstrong from Greenday!
So, generally, nothing to be ashamed of ... and that's from a Heavy Metal God!
Let's change this to "Song's I'm proud to like"?
Jolene - Dolly Parton ... oh yes! You know you love it!
Venus - Bananarama ... Goddess on a mountain top says all. The original Shocking Blue version ain't bad either.
Downunder - Men at Work ... anyone for Vegamite?
Left of Centre - Suzanne Vega ... hmmm - thought provoking.
Oh, and I used to know the rap to Turtle Power from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Partnerz in Crime) off by heart, being the first single I ever bought! |
