Musical Opinion Amnesty Thread

[Jose Jones]

That pretty much sums me up, yes.

I was grateful for the opportunity and the spotlight it gave me.

 

Well done you.  Classic Australian punk/pub rock I'm picturing.  Radio Birdman or The Saints, that kind of thing.

Cold Chisel covers.

Saints, yes.

That sort of thing.

 

The West London "stadium" performance was Australia Day, 1990.

I've had a drink with Jimmy Barnes.

Modern music is shit.

[General Dryness]

Modern music is shit.

Agreed. Any cultural environment in which an abomination like Dubstep can thrive can only be described as toxic.

Dubstep sounds like dogshit you cannot remove from the front pathway of your house.

If AIDS made a sound it would be Dubstep.

All British attempts at rap are highly embarassing.

I'm clearly the only person in the works not fussed by Bowie.

 

Know very few of his songs, don't particularly like and of the ones I know, and other than sympathy for another human being and his family, not arsed that he's died.

 

I am absolutely alone on that view based on my Facebook, the TV and the radio.

A few of us arent arsed about his music but recognise that Bowie,Lemmy et al are iconic musicians who will most likely never be replaced.

It has to be said that Bowie and Lemmy's excesses with drugs and heavy tobacco use cant have helped.

[Section_31]

With Bowie, some performers go beyond music and are icons. Even if you don't personally like their music. I don't know what it is, style, originality, there's only a few. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassy, they sort of transcend music and ordinary levels of fame, they're a part of our culture.

I get that, but he hasn't impacted on me, so I'm out.

 

I should add, I'm too young to have heard him when he was at his height - ie not alive - and when I was 8-10 when I suppose he was stil pretty big, I was listening to bros and the new kids on the block

 

Good job this is an amnesty thread, I guess

I'm in my late 30's, so I wasn't around in the 70's and was just a kid in the 80's, but Bowie has been 'big' for the duration of my life.

[Tony Moanero]

Apologies for negging you, I forgot this was an amnesty thread, although when a man's got to unload, he's got to unload.

I think Skepta is pretty good

Stereo Mc's are brilliant, were great live and very underrated - Connected is a superb tune and their first LP 33-45-78 is a big favourite of mine.

 

Hijack were great. As were the Demon Boyz, Gunshot and some early Blade. I Remember 'Mind of an Ordinary citizen' beating all the yank competition as poll winning tune on Jeff Young Big Beat show.....Yo' sucker put your brain in gear- Friday night- Back in the day

the first lp is- check it out.

[TheHowieLama]

I remember On the Mic -- thats about it.

 

At that time we had Public Enemy, NWA, Ice T, Pauls Boutique just dropped (one of the greatest party records ever), KRS One et al...to be honest it was flat.

[Bob]

Roots manuva. That's all I need to counter your comment. Awesome.

[TheHowieLama]

Well in Spunky

[thegreatelephant]
