Were the Beeb right to have Nick Griffin on Question Time? I've got mixed feelings about that. Discuss!

Who you wish you'd seen live but never did

twisted — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:58:20 GMT

Who do you wish you'd seen live but never got round to it before they died / broke up?

For me, it was the Stone Roses.

Any others?

twisted — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:28:20 GMT

Okay, so we've all got musical guilty pleasures - tracks we like but know that we shouldn't.

My 3 guilty pleasures are:

ELO - Last Train to London
Girls Aloud - The Promise
The Saturdays - Up

What are your top 3?

Any thoughts on the EP?

Relatively unknown but good artists...

tozerh99 — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:07:07 GMT

Just thought it would be good to have a topic where people could post artists that they think are great but a little known. Obviously people have different tastes, but we've got some similarities on this forum. Whenever I'm talking about music to someone I always tell them about The Raspberries and Chris Singleton. Obviously this is Chris's forum, so I need not recommend listening to him as I'm sure you all already do!

However, The Raspberries can be mentioned - they are an early 70s group, generally considered to be "Power-Pop". Whenever I tell anyone about them I first ask whether they know Eric Carmen, generally they say no, then I say "you know the song 'All By Myself', well Eric Carmen wrote that after he finished the Raspberries." They released 4 albums, the last one "Starting Over", endorsed by John Lennon, featured 2 different members taking the place of the bassist and drummer. Although I very much like all the albums, my favourite is probably the second, "Fresh Raspberries". The first two are lighter, more Beatle-esque, the second two are heavier, more power-pop, perhaps more Who-esque. Being a great Beatles fan I particularly like the first two, and there's some fine 3 part harmony too. Check out "Go All The Way", "Let's Pretend", "Tonight" (not quite the same as Chris's...) and "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" to name one from each album in order.

Also listen to "Play On" and "Cry" on Starting Over. Both sung by Scott McCarl, some may on first listen confuse him with John Lennon!

Beatles Quiz

tozerh99 — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:31:35 GMT

I thought with the remasters coming up it could be a bit of fun to have a Beatles quiz - one person posts a question, someone else answers it and poses another question in the same post. Ideally the questions are answered without Wikipedia or whatever.

Ok, I'll start

The lyrics "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream" are on which song, which album and which year?

Oasis split up

So, Oasis have split up.
Is it for real?
Or just a stunt?
Will they get back together?

Post your thoughts on the split below and your memories of the band.

Beatles remasters...

MusicMatty — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:24:20 GMT

Anybody going to buy the Beatles remasters?
I'm quite keen but there is a recession on and I have 'em all on vinyl and CD already.
Will I be able to tell the difference? Is it worth it?
