This is MUSIC!
"The hills are alive with the sound of our music - and if you don't like it then you can fuck off to some other hills"
Yes, my own personal little hobby horse - MUSIC ! Who said the opening quote?
Answers on a postcard to....
Music is very special to me, and certainly we have lived through
a lot of musical changes. It was our generation who was born at the death
of punk, grew up while the Smiths reigned, came to listen to music during
the reign of Jive Bunny, Kylie Minogue and the Firm; Was too young to
remember the Madchester revolution and finally came into our own with
the advent of Britpop. Now we are older and we have lived through the
origin and evolution of Dance music from the original shitty rave to the
brilliance of Big Beat.
Of course, this summary in no way reflects my own personal views...
The Bands...
- probably my favourite group of all time. Got into them around
Country House, seen them live, got all the albums...sheer class
- Definitely high up on the list of
Great Bands - Gold Against the Soul, being one of the top albums of all time...
- And now everyone likes them...But can you hit the high
notes in "Bulletproof..."?
- O.k so
the first Verve song i heard was "This is Music"...but i did get the Urban Hymns album
the first day of release...
ok - they're unfashionable now, but they still kick some ass.
(i mean i like them..)
- definitely one of my favourite bands at the minute. The lyrics are so beautiful and yet depressing, and just speak of all those things in life that drag us down. Like other people for example...
- truely one of the most disturbing groups ever...
large band - large website!
- i guess everyone knows all about them now...
quality dark ambient stuff.
- So he used to be in the housemartins...who cares! This is a brilliant album
- one of the best albums of last year. Emotion and feedback never sounded so good.
the songs sound chirpy, but the lyrics are tinged with such sadness. I love them deeply. In a non-sexual way of course...
- the first band i ever truely loved...
- Glam rock in the gutters staring at the stars. Seen them live, can almost play "we are the pigs" on guitar..
- I am the resurrection. so i am.
Sex Pistols
- great... until they reformed in '96. Hmmm, fat rich forty year olds. The revolution starts here.
- i am going to go and cry. Apparantly they've split up!
Kula Shaker
- Seen them live, Crispian ...hmmmm look;he's not a fascist, o.k.?!
The Propellerheads
new album out 26/1/98 (ages ago now!) should be good
funky stuff!
- what can we say that hasn't been said already...Actually, the new single "This is hardcore" is really sleazy and really good!
- on a rope, on a rope, got me hangin' on a rope...
D.C Talk
- seen them live, must find the web site soon...
- seminal 80's madchester group. Inspired numerous imitators...
The Beautiful South
- pure quality
Marion
- who? you ask. Did that renault advert song
The Bluetones
- new single Solomon bites the worm out now - and it's cool
Space
- still unclassifiable...hope their new stuff is as good as the old songs...
- I can't explain why i like this...i just do
Alabama 3
- weird gospel/rock. Something i like to put on and chill to
The Beatles
- i guess everyone was into them at some point in their lives...
- surely the most seminal and greatest group of all time! A storming debut, great singles... such brilliant ideas! How do they do it?!?! Musical art-terrorism-bigbeat-techno-hawaiian-funk-speedgarage-lofi-house-punk-ambient-hardcore-urbancollective- loungecore-rockandroll-emotion-instrumental-suicide-dance-pain-rave at its best!
... i mean, i could go on....
Expect more soon...and more on each of the bands!
