Re: WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!

Blackpink

“How You Like That”
“Ddu-du Ddu-du”

Amazing K pop band Ive discovered this year.
Music obviously created for them, like most manufactured groups, but very impressed with the synth and percussive elements.

Standing by for the mocking :grin: :grin:

Re: Glastonbury 2023

Saw Blondie last year. The whole set seemed to depend if Debbie was in the mood.
And how pissed off she was, with Clem’s overplaying.

Re: Glastonbury 2023

Axel’s vocals reminded me of Norman Collier…. Gave up after ten songs, as I’d only recognised two up to that point, and one was a McCartney song. I would however say that Slash looked and played the part. I predict those pictures of the reflection in his sunglasses will be on posters in the not to d...

Not at all. It’s a real challenge to get it to sound like the original.
I think in many areas you achieved that!

Re: Depeche Mode

Yes, I’ve heard them all.
They have made some great music, sometimes dark as _____, sometimes pop perfection, but to my ears not one album I’d easily listen to from start to finish.

My favourite would be “The Best Of Depeche Mode” :grin:

Re: WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!

Best song of the last six months. Suede. "She Still Leads Me On." You have no blood in your veins if you don't like it. Been playing catchup with Suede using setlist.fm, as I'm off to see them tonight. Mainly stuff I hadn't heard before but sounds like it will be brilliant live https://you...

Re: No Doubt my Guilty Pleasure.

Not really heard much No Doubt, but she’s had a couple of cracking solo songs, real pop classics. While not my go-to genre for music listening, I still listen to pop, to see if I can hear anything that stands out. She has definitely had a couple of great tracks. Was similarly impressed recently by a...

He wasn’t seriously considered.
They told Andy he was, to try to convince him to play live.

Imvho, his best musical output was as the unofficial member of Prefab Sprout during Steve McQueen.
