[AndyT]

What an odd post. Thought it was a bit of friendly banter.

Didn't think you were taking it seriously.

 

[The Big Dady]

The Carpenters. I remember they had a revival a few years ago and the cool set latched onto them. Syrupy maudlin ****e.

Wash your mouth out @MK Shrimper, hoping to convert you here. (Yes I know it ain't going to happen).

The Carpenters with Karen Carpenter on lead vocals who died tragically back in 1983, here is my tribute to Karen.

'Superstar'

That's another great song.

Add their version of 'Ticket to Ride' as well.

Her voice always makes the hairs on my neck stand up.Haunting .

Where I work, they insist on having Pulse Radio on every day and they have a very narrow playlist. They play the same discs at least twice a day, everyday.

I absolutely hate that song about Something in the Water.

Take Me to Church - too painfully awful.

Xs and Os song, just make it stop.

It would seem to me that the first two artists probably think they have written anthems, no these are just rubbish overblown dirges that should never be played ever again!

 

[Benfleet A1]

Rag and bone man bores me rigid as well.

 

[RHB]

Not surprising, after all you're only human.

I much prefer the Sonic Youth cover version of Superstar. But great song.. yes.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Artic Monkeys - ****.

 

[Blueronron]

Don't get Adele either, same bland music, which appeals to millions by her sales and sell out concerts, but just couldnot sit through a single track let alone a two hour concert

Agreed - glorified pub singer.

Luther Vandross does an excellent version, too.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Rag and Bone Man, George Ezra and Boy George.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Rag and Bone Man, George Ezra and Boy George.

Have to confess I quite like Queen (and even saw them live back in the day).Certainly agree about Blur and Boy George.Afraid I don't know the other two.

Edit.Have heard (and got a record) by the Arctic Monkeys but can't say I like them much either.

[Tangled up in Blue]

Not my sort of stuff I'm afraid.So who's George Ezra then?
