Musical Opinion Amnesty Thread

[KMD7]

I went to a Bon Jovi concert with the missus a few years ago, and it was pretty good.

[Boss]

Love stoned by Justin Timberlake, especially the breakdown is a masterpiece. Sexy back is also a quality tune. Gaga is always worth a watch when shes performing live. The first black eyed peas album "behind the front" is absolute quality

[Newport]

I've seen Coldplay live and they were brilliant.

[manwiththestick]

Roxette

Erasure

Del Amitri

 

All made some boss songs.

[Sugar Ape]

I notice, Stig, that even in an amnesty thread you haven't had the balls to admit you're a massive Mumford and Sons fan.

[Boss]

Alright stop, collaborate and LISTEN, ice is back with my brand new invention, something grabs a hold of me tightly, flow like a harpoon daily and nightly.

 

I dare any of you to listen to "Ice ice baby" and not crack a smile, even people that hate rap music fucking love that shit.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Is a cringe a type of smile?

[Tony Moanero]

I wouldn't say that was amnesty material myself Tony, nor if you like the second one.

 

I would. People always take the piss when I say I like that album, and when I say I've seen

Coldplay live.

Coldplay were the originators of Plinky plonk infantile piano music that has culminated in any number of bad Christmas TV adverts and a myriad of viral 16 year olds doing plinky plonk covers of perfectly good pop and rock songs of yore.

So, in a way, Chris Martin is a revolutionary.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I am looking forward to hearing the new Sophie Ellis Bextor album.

 

 

[stringvest]

It's crap. The single is the best thing on it.

Buble

[Jairzinho]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana were all fucking shit.

[The Golden Eel]

I've got Haddaway The Album in my collection.

I loved Keep on Movin by Five.....still got in on my playlist but when it comes on in the car the volume does get turned down quite a bit.....

[uninvitedguest]

I carried on listening to Marillion after Fish left and they're still going with the same singer.Have a listen to the album Brave if you can.....absolutely brilliiant album.Went to see Fish a few years back at The Cavern where he performed Misplaced Childhood album....still one of my favourite albums of all time.

[mattyq]

6 posts in 4 and a half years - quality lurkage

I'll give Brave a go

[Vincent Vega]

Not sure if they warrant a place in this thread but listening to them could hardly be classified as hip, but I've been listening to The Everley Brothers a lot since Phil died recently, brilliant harmonies, you can really see how they influenced The Beatles, Stones etc.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Anything with Ronan keating singing. He's a pub singer at best and not even a good one at that. The fact he's made millions being a singer makes me want to hold the world within my hands and crush it into dust, mix that dust with glue and seal my eyelids and ears as I gently drift towards the sun removing the last memory of Ronan keating in a fiery tomb.

I think that post actually belongs in this thread Bobby, but I couldn't agree more, he actually sounds like Vic Reeves when he used to do the club singer in Shooting Stars:

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Meat Loaf is good pantomime rock

 

The Stone Roses are overrated

 

Slim Whitman's great, and not just in an ironic way

[Trumo]

John Newman has done one decent track but even so, he still sounds like he's doing a bad Nelson Mandela impression.

[celeryBADboy]

Steel Panther are as well stupid in serious shit but they're god's brilliant at every thing shame they're not serious though.

 

My cock is communal property I've used that live a few time drunk.

 

done ffs

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Journey are great 

[FanchesterCity]

I'm a musician, and when much younger I gravitated to muso types bands of the day.... Rush, Level 42, Dire Straits, Genesis etc.... but as I've grown older, I've really started to appreciate the art of songwriting...

 

The likes of Sting, Billy Joel, Elvis Costello, Neil Finn etc have all gone up massively in my estimation. Regardless of their personalities, I've learned to see their craft is a whole new light.

 

I used to think complex time signatures and difficult to play pieces were the only thing that mattered, but now I realise just how difficult it is to make a timeless classic. Listening to some old Springsteen and Billy Joel stuff amazes me how mature their writing was at a relatively young age - writing about middle aged life with excellence.
