The Music Thread Strikes Back

Dire Wolf said:
Im not a fan of Coldplay but don't really get why they get so much grief, they're not awful. Viva La Vida is actually a pretty good song IMO. I'd take them over Sheeran and Adele any day of the week. And they are not as loathsome as some of the absolute tripe that you hear.

Pop music is always an easy target, I s’pose.
 
All of Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Adele have far more respect for me than the shite pop groups you get nowadays.

They write and perform all their own songs. Other groups are just glorified karaoke singers.
 
Hyperpop is the best thing to happen in mainstream music in a while tbf.

I agree with this, it's just their music does nothing for me.....so I take the radical choice and don't listen to it

i don't know much about ed sheeran but i have read articles that suggest he has a significant issue in not crediting other artists who's work he uses and passes off as his own. so the "write all their own songs" bit must be iffy where he is concerned.
 
We had a neighbour who was about the same age and came from the same village as Sheeran. By all accounts Sheeran was an arsehole.
 
When music outfits and output are manufactured by agents and record companies I despise it. When musicians create their own product I respect it even if I don’t like it.
 
Quiz from a blog i read. i get the answers on boxing day though i think i know some (from the blog and even a few myself 1, 6, 7, 15 - assuming I'm right about them of course.). obv will be easy if you look them up so maybe say which ones you think you know and i'll give the official answers when i get them.
  1. Which historical figure was the subject of two consecutive hit singles by the same act?
  2. What is the best selling album to feature an ex-Beatle?
  3. How did Freddie Mercury having an emergency dental appointment inadvertently contribute to the popularisation of punk in 1976?
  4. Which 1980s no 1 single was written by Peter Sinfield of King Crimson and had an oblique anti-Thatcher message in the lyrics?
  5. Which band took their name from initials on a sewing machine owned by the sister of the two founding brothers?
  6. Whose first public persona was that of spokesman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men ?
  7. Which band withdrew their best-known song from their 1992 debut album and have never re-released it (at least the studio version) since?
  8. Who was daughter of a Grateful Dead road manager and appeared on the back cover of one of their albums as a child; shared a house with Julian Cope; and was briefly singer for Faith No More?
  9. In 1987 Tiffany’s I Think We’re Alone Now was knocked of no 1 in the Billboard charts by Billy Idol’s Mony Mony. Why was this an unlikely coincidence?
  10. What was removed from the 2018 reissue of Kate Bush’s Ariel album (but not from reissues of The Dreaming album)?
  11. Where in the Suffolk village of Great Finborough would you find “Teenage dreams , so hard to beat”?
  12. Which chart topping R n B singer did Gabriel Maferika try to impersonate unsuccessfully in 1998?
  13. Which album released in 1980 had the catalogue number FSLN 1 and why?
  14. Who had a hit single with Cliff Richard and appeared in a different guise on the bill at Donnington Monsters Of Rock in the same year? (you have a choice of collective or individual names for this one)
  15. What huge 80s hit featured the sound of the guitarist , bassist and drummer jumping into a swimming pool , which was their only contribution to the final recording?
  16. How did David Batt, Stephen Batt and Andonis Michaelides acknowledge the influence of the New York Dolls?
  17. Billy Bragg and Big Audio Dynamite are two artists that never had a UK no 1 hit…or are they? Why are both listed as having had no 1 singles in the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles?
  18. What do the following tracks have in common – The Doors – Waiting For The Sun; Queen – Sheer Heart Attack; Led Zeppelin – Houses Of The Holy; The Stranglers – The Meninblack (kind of)
  19. Where would you find instructions such as “Use an old idea”; .”Are there sections? Consider transitions” ;” Honour thy error as a hidden intention.”; and “Try faking it!”
  20. Real life Spinal Tap time , and multiple choice – which of these has not happened to U2? (a) 80s – Bono ripped his trousers jumping off the PA prompting a cringeworthy rant at music biz types in the crowd (“I bought these trousers so I could look like you”) (b) 90s – The band got trapped inside a giant lemon stage prop (c) 00s – During an onstage speech Bono solemnly declared “Every time I click my fingers a child dies in Africa” to which a heckler responded “Stop doing it then!” (d) 10s – The Edge walked off the edge of the stage mid song and dislocated his arm.
 
It was technically only Edmondson (Vim Fuego), Mayall and Planer who were in Bad News. Mike was obviously too much of a cool person for Bad News.

you're right about a million years.

answer 2 I've seen one answer as band of the run - seemed a bit obvious. i wondered if something like the travelling wilburys may have sold more but not my bag.
