Urban75’s lack of empathy for people who like The Lightning Seeds

What official England footie song is superior? World in Motion isn't exactly amenable to drunken crowd singing.

Good point, they’re no Fat Les

They're all fucking shit.

i noticed my kid does this to suss if something is good or bad. Which is probably mapped to some internalised filing system.
Like Nirvana has alot of views - is automatically good.
New band has alot of views. Could be shit because [insert crime against humanity commited by the singer in an interview] or because the girl in her class she doesnt like likes it or because it is shit.
So I play her some of the Lucky you video above.
*Listens. Screws her face up.
"why do I need to hear this?"
*listens a bit more
"no.

Sounds boring."

The number of viewss is a gauge as to how popular a particular video is, not how good it is.

I recognised the name, but didn't think I'd heard any of their songs. Listened to the first couple here and for sure I don't want to hear any more again. Thank you.

ETA. That football one. I recognise that.

Please stop this thread

It was released at least a gazillion times. (Or maybe it just felt like that...)

Please stop this thread

‘One more go for the blokes’: Skinner and Baddiel record festive Three Lions track

Pair say they ‘could not resist’ revamping track before Qatar World Cup, after Lionesses’ victory in summer

The football song is a blot on their otherwise perfect pop landscape

I was a bit tipsy when I started this thread two years ago And ironically I don’t particularly have strong opinions of them and their music in the cold light of day

Anyway a few weeks ago, a mate offered me a ticket to see the Lightning Seeds with him in Bristol tonight.

So I will close the circle on this thread. Oh Lucky Me!

The only Broudie related music I own, is this belter from 1985, produced by himself. Also features Steve Wickham on fiddle.

Shout for them to play Vindaloo

Looking at what else was being listened to last night it’s quite lucky this isn’t a Del Amitri or Spindoctors thread

You were the one buying it

Urban75's lack of empathy for ordinary people who remember Big In Japan

I feel like by the time of Sugar Coated Iceberg he was writing self-conscious parodies of his earlier hits.

I can’t tell Ruddy Yurts threads from reality any more.

I scanned the thread as being about The Lighthouse Family. Not sure which band is worse TBF.

 

[story]

Back in 1980-blahblah when they were doing a world tour, my then-partner had some kind of family connection to Ian Broudie and took me to see them in London. Was nearly grinding my teeth with boredom by the halfway mark.

Some months later, I was in NY and got invited to something associated with my partner, and it turned out to be a group outing to a fabulous meal followed by a trip to see the fucking Lightening Seeds. They'd saved this information as a surprise, so I was trapped in a taxi when I discovered the dread truth.

I knew my face would betray my feelings so opted to step away from the group during the set. At about the same half-way point as my teeth had started to crumble at the London show, one of the people I knew from the group came over and shouted in my ear "You're being really rude! You're being miserable! Show some enthusiasm! What's the problem?"

On this invitation to share my views, and being at the limit of my tolerance, I couldn't help myself from shouting back "They're the worst band in the world right now!" and launched into what I recall as a fluent witty take down.

I was not invited to the aftershow.

While they may appear similar, they have a very distinct meaning. Let’s explore the value of empathy when discussing suicide prevention.

I could quite happily never hear Three Lions ever again, but I don't mind a bit of Life Of Riley, or Change or Lucky You now and again.

I'm supposed to be seeing them in December. Not all that bothered about it, I saw them last year supporting Madness and they were fine but not exactly mind blowing entertainment. For me they're the occasional half decent pop tune that I don't mind hearing on radio 2 or something. That's about it.

prefer Original Mirrors, but they're ok, I guess.

I once endeared myself to about 10,000 fans of The Darkness by proclaiming them the worst band on the planet.

You can get away with that shit on the Internet. Said directly to the Reading Festival crowd who've just enjoyed them? Not so much.

I don't drink anymore and am consequently still alive.
