I'll start seeing as it's my idea.......
I'm going to be a bit controversial here when I say ALL Northern Soul bands in general. Well considering Northern Soul probably consists of just the one band of failed Motown musicians, churning out the same tune to different words for different artists to sing, with that distinct under water sound, it's probably not controversial at all.

Saw therm in the mid 70's about a week after I saw the Who and they were crap in comparison. But worse, I saw them again in the late 90's. They mst have spent a zillion quid on the set. Grandiose and nasty. And all they played was the hits. Hit after hit after hit. It's nice enough to hear Brown Sugar I suppose, but there was absoluitely no development in the band. Nothing. Just 25 years of old stuff. I saw Wishbone Ash around the same time. They played some of the old stuff too, but they played recent stuff too. Some of it was good too. They had continued to be a band - not the blank cheque the Stones had become.
And that flobber gob with the mlic has always been crap anyway.

I saw them at the Gaumont about 1965 and they were great. Cost 7/6d then and they were great.
I next saw them 2003 cost about £62:50 but worth every penny. Fair enough they may not have moved on much recently but they can still play classic tracks for hours; plus they are older than me. 😜

I'm a bit divided on The Stones. They did some great stuff in their early days, but they never really evolved. They have certainly outstayed their welcome. The same can probably be said of U2.
Re Northern Soul. I was practically brought up on it, but when you listen to it again you realise there are a few great songs and tunes and a lot of mediocrity.
Not a fan of Rhianna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and identkit boybands. Seen it all before! As an earlier poster said re LG, Madonna did it earlier and better.

Singing songs about being young and in love. With less emotion than I show when I order haddock from the chippy.
If you're going to sing about being young and in love, you make the object of your desires feel like you have condensed the Universe into a ball for them. You make a song that makes them realise that the universe can vanish down a black hole if you can't have them. You make it a Greek Epic.

Here's his justification.
'What a drag it is

Well I go out somewhere
Then I come home again
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Happiness came and went
I got the movie script
But I don't know what it meant'

Kanye West has to be seen to be believed. I went to his Glow in the Dark tour and have seen nothing like it, fantastic show verging on theatre. Some of his tunes (Touch The Sky, Stronger) are great, grade A bell-end though.
I've never really got the Manic Street Preachers (having first really listened to them in the Everything Must Go era and found them to be pretty MOR) but something just clicked recently and I can appreciate them now.
Muse were fantastic in their early days and were incredible live when they were ripping of RATM and Radiohead but I can't listen to them now they've morphed into Queen.

The Rolling Stones i see nothing talent wise, not one song any good, to compare them to The Beatles is a travesty.
Unfair, I think. They did some very good stuff in their early years. Trouble is, they haven't done anything decent for 40 years and instead of splitting up and moving on to other things they keep churning out the same stuff. Lucrative, though.
Much the same can be said of UB40. Signing Off was fresh and innovative, but then they morphed into a reggae covers/ tribute band.
Post by: River Don on July 26, 2015, 01:53:29 pm
The same with the BeeGees massively popular but shocking.
At least with an act like ABBA I can see the skill of the song writer, they have produced without doubt some of the most infectious pop songs ever. For me though it's all so cheesy, kitsch and lame I can't stand it.
