Now that's a band I can't stand.Watching Simple Minds on the telly I saw them live at Milton Keynes Bowl years ago.My mate was into them but watching that concert I became a big fan of them as they were brilliant.Sometimes bands are better live than listening to them on your stereo etc.
I'm the same with Blur I either totally dislike a track by them or really like it, nothing in the middle. I've never had much time for the Stereophonics but I love Dakota by them.I've never been a fan of Blur but really like Song 2 a record of theirs that's currently being played on a telly advert. Which got me thinking about other songs I like from acts I dislike. Like Crazy Horses by the Osmond's, which was a bit rocky from a cheesy group. Any other suggestions ?
That was my opinion on them till I saw them live. There doing an acoustic session on radio 2 and live on the telly,and its good. Might change your mind ?Now that's a band I can't stand.
Stereophonics are my sons favourite band. I listened to one of their albums and they're okay. I got my lad to listen to Hendrix,Stones,and Bowie when he was a teenager,and he loved all three !I'm the same with Blur I either totally dislike a track by them or really like it, nothing in the middle.

I believe that's the point of this threadAre you saying this is the only track of theirs you like?
I believe that's the point of this thread
Erm there's also this, rather embarassingly!
but was very surprised to hear that
I'm afraid that only Magnum I know of is made by Wall's.I'm always very surprised to find the world doesn't adore half of Magnum's back catalogue, but them's the breaks of taste.
I have many musical "guilty pleasures"....Really dislike the Spice Girls, but there is one single of theirs that I do like. Can't think what it's called.
Same with the Backstreet Boys. Don't like any of their stuff, but the single 'Everybody,' I do really like a lot.
Then with the reverse, I do quite like Abba, but the one song of theirs I can't stand that everyone seemingly drools like crazy over, I hate with a passion! That's Dancing Queen, which I think is a dreadful record.
Same too with Dexy's Midnight Runners. Love Geno and Jackie Wilson Says, but despise Come on Eileen.

I loved Supergrass when they first came out and this I do believe was their first ever single. Got a real punk feel about it.
I used to like the Osmonds. I was watching an interview with them a short time ago and they actually wanted to be a prog rock band, but the teeny bopper ting came in and they supported Donny. They were quite philosophical about it.I've never been a fan of Blur but really like Song 2 a record of theirs that's currently being played on a telly advert.

I never liked ABBA until I got older. I hated the whole Two Tone thing and as for Dexy's the lead singer was shocking, I always felt he sounded like he was going to burst into tears at any moment, shockingly bad and don't get me started on the Police AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!
Love that one, ISTR Gaz did live acoustic version on TV year or 2 ago.
Have you been dragged along to a concert and then come away saying that was pretty good ? For me my mate had a spare ticket to see Blondie at the Villa Leisure Centre in Brum,he said we can have a good drink before so I was up for that. I was expecting a pop concert,but it turned out she'd gone more into Rock/Heavy music,and it was brilliant. She looked a bit fat and drugged up to be honest,but who cared as the place was rocking !

Osmonds were very good musiciansI used to like the Osmonds. I was watching an interview with them a short time ago and they actually wanted to be a prog rock band, but the teeny bopper ting came in and they supported Donny. They were quite philosophical about it.
As for records by shit bands I love Viva Forever by the Spice Girls and there are also a couple of Take That songs that I like. But of course I would never admit that being a bad ass biker well into heavy metal.
You old fart! Cant remember OMD playing there. I first went in 81, AC/DC, Whitesnake B.O.C, Slade were excellent. Went again to see Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head, cant take the standing up all day anymore and can only take so many bottles of piss hitting me. My bald head is a target!!!! Bastards!A group of us went to loads of concerts especially Monsters of Rock each summer and before the headline act came on you'd watch lesser bands etc.
I was impressed by OMD who got the crowd going,and we all said we weren't expecting that !
