General Most Loved/Hated Music

[SteMerritt]

Ocean Colour Scene and The Verve were much better bands than Oasis or Blur.

Never got on with The Verve beyond the singles, must revisit Urban Hymns at some point.

The album before that, a northern soul, is better in my opinion.

I think Urban Hymns is a masterpiece with not a bad song on it. I properly got into music the year it came out (aged 12) so maybe that has something to do with it.

Belting out every word of their Glastonbury set when they reformed, with friends I've known since primary school, having thought I'd never see them live, was quite special.

I like Urban Hymns, just always preferred a northern soul, a bit less polished and a bit harder edged.

30 years ago yesterday Oasis released their debut single Supersonic, which makes me feel f*****g ancient but might have a gin and tonic to commemorate it.

Hate and love are different sides of the same coin, so you also love them.

Champagne Supernova? I'd rather Tizer and a fart

What I was listening to at 12 years old i think was whatever was on radio 1 or top of the pops at the time, so and was another year or so to get my first akai "walkman" and i could buy my own tapes and that was mainstream like Tears For Fear. Fair play for getting into the Verve at that age!

I did later on go on a Greek island holiday in 1997 and so on before ipods were invented (2001), so packed a cd-cassette player in my baggage and someone had Urban Hymns for us to listen to in our apartement / by the pool.

And the youngsters cry:

Great stuff.

However I raise you. Glenn Campbell 72 years of age, sadly with early signs of Alzheimer’s, but absolutely nails his guitar solo.

The album Grace is a genuine masterpiece. Incredible songs, lyrics, musicianship and vocals.

 

[brokeandobscure]

Don't forget 'The Macc Lads', again in the 80s, with lyrical gems like...

"Get your gob 'round me knob, Get your teeth 'round me beef, Get your lipsies 'round me titsies, Get your smackers 'round me knackers"

Eh up my luv, I’ve got a suggestion………
