Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5 Quarter-Finals. Bally, BB, Cjay to VOTE
Sorry faaip, I would have to agree with Bally regarding the Talking Heads, in fact one of the few bands I would make the effort to turn the radio off if they came on...........only get up quicker to turn it off if that howling blo*dy Welsh woman, Cerys Matthews and/or Catatonia were to come on.faaip wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 4:16 pm I love Depeche Mode but the above is just a pop ditty compared to what came later for me. Talking Heads one of the most influential bands of all time. You can hear them in the Pixies stuff to start with and that lead to Nirvana and the sound of Seattle which was the last time Rock was truly alive..
Safe to say no Talking Heads vinyl, cassettes, CD's or iPod downloads in this house (there is some Depeche Mode though !).

Band of Horses songs I've posted up in the last two polls are crackers Cat, 'Funeral' got to the Round 5 Final, Monsters has made these semi-finals so they can't be that bad, very accessible music I would say, both songs from a wonderful album full of great songs, a real grower if you give it a chanceMuppet the Cat wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 9:51 pm 60's

Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5. Semi-Finals - VOTE NOW
I did give them a listen 64, maybe I didn't give them long enough.....However, I did investigate further one of the other recommendations that you posted recently (I think it was one this thread) that I hadn't come across before......the Dead South, and was well impressed with them. CD already ordered on ebay.1964white wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 10:00 pm Band of Horses songs I've posted up in the last two polls are crackers Cat, 'Funeral' got to the Round 5 Final, Monsters has made these semi-finals so they can't be that bad, very accessible music I would say, both songs from a wonderful album full of great songs, a real grower if you give it a chance
There is some good stuff that quietly seeps out of Canada.......my favourite being City and Colour, in effect Dallas Green from AlexisOnFire.
Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5. Semi-Finals - VOTE NOW
Faaip originally touted up Dead South to be fair but yes I have mentioned them a couple of timesMuppet the Cat wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 10:19 pm I did give them a listen 64, maybe I didn't give them long enough.....However, I did investigate further one of the other recommendations that you posted recently (I think it was one this thread) that I hadn't come across before......the Dead South, and was well impressed with them.

The guy who laid our patio Bob the Builder loves the album after I recommended it to him
Yes you need to listen to the album 'Everything All The Time' by the Band Of Horses, give it a few listens & you'd be humming the songs in your head all day long
In the next round I'll be nominating a beautiful acoustic song from that album 'St Augustine' which is absolutely gorgeous, warms the cockles of my heart

The observant ones amongst you may have noticed that yet again Hector has not got a song in the semi's.... never has, probably never will, nobody likes my songs, I think it is a conspiracy, is it coz I's fat? nobody cares, here I am brain the size of a planet and no one like my songs, I think I will go and wash my head in a bucket of water, that should help me feel a bit more wretched........ ruffin chuffin rastardlys

Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5. Semi-Finals - VOTE NOW
Lol..........just noticed. The positive however, is that you have a unique taste in music, rather than following the masses. Or the conspiracists among us may point to dastardly rigging of the music poll. Is it the work of the 64's who as a team are voting tactically.........and Mr 64 choosing the Joker songs...........or Mr 64 choosing which songs are poised against other songs in each round..........or the constant subliminal messages about Band of Horses from Mr 64..........Or is it that you have a shite taste in music

As a kid Bernard Cribbins 'Right Said Fred' I liked this song but it was up against some strong songs as is the usual case with the 60's decade which is so competitive.
I have every Zeppellin album & although I enjoy 'Achilles Last Stand' it is not one of my favourite Zepp songs.
Never been a fan of Foreigner's music, not a great fan of the Manics too !
Love 'In A Broken Dream' song, a classic imo !
I probably enjoy more genres of music than most on here but like everyone we all have our favourites & different opinions on the music scene. I'm also somewhat surprised how some great songs have been eliminated
Keep on plugging away Hector, you'll find a winner that appeals to the majority. Try nominating some more Bowie songs although not everyone enjoys the thin white duke

: Songs are drawn out of a hat

: Joker songs are chosen in alphabetical order from a previous contest we held on here a few years ago.
: As for the Band Of Horses I love promoting & sharing an obscure album that is brilliant just like Faaip's recommendation Dead South, this side of Yorkshire are reeling with all the trendy music
: Impossible for me to rig the contest as the winning songs are down to our participants who vote for them. I'm shocked at some of the songs that have been eliminated with ease !

Apologies Azkal about my mistake, why did i think it was Faaip
Now then Azkal do you want footage of Mrs 64's silver hat (just purchased for an forthcoming wedding) or would you prefer Pontus Jansson's magic hat
Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5. Semi-Finals - VOTE NOW
Btw when choosing my nominations I tend to ignore much of the acquired artists I enjoy such as Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine, Antony & the Johnsons, Wishbone Ash, Wally, Little Feet, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Hold Steady, Radiohead, Tom Waits plus there are all the soul/jazz/r&b stuff that are more or less a no, no ! Shame as I love soul music
The Stones, Kate Bush, Beatles, Bowie, Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye don't go down well with everybody so choosing songs are a bit of a lottery to be honest
I may go with a complete set of acquired stuff in one of the rounds just to prove my point, also would give everyone a chance to shine

Re: Mega Fave Song Decade RD 5. Semi-Finals - VOTE NOW
I've had one song in the semis ...I think. Actually one song I nominated in poll 1 knocked out in round 1 or 2 actually got to the final in poll 4 nominated by someone else ...hector wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 5:08 am The observant ones amongst you may have noticed that yet again Hector has not got a song in the semi's.... never has, probably never will, nobody likes my songs, I think it is a conspiracy, is it coz I's fat? nobody cares, here I am brain the size of a planet and no one like my songs, I think I will go and wash my head in a bucket of water, that should help me feel a bit more wretched........ ruffin chuffin rastardlys
