Number2Fan Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well whether it's for sentimental reasons, or just coz you can't help yourself. What tunes with a less favourable reputation do you actually secretly love? I have a soft spot for David Guetta - Titanium I just like it, not entirely sure why. On another note Capella - Move it up, cheesy shallow Eurotrance, reminds me of my younger days, but I even have it in my iTunes to this day.

Quadrant Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have always loved the electronic music of the 80s as it was what I grew up with. It became very unfashionable later in the 90s ("The 1980s - the decade that music forgot", apparently) but today the sounds are even more relevant now than they ever were. Too much to mention, but New Order, Electronic, Duran Duran, A-Ha, Pet Shop Boys.... a lot of PSB actually :shifty: This is a masterpiece for me... stay with it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I saw New Order in the summer. Saw The Pet shop boys last year actually as they were supporting Take That. (Who I saw twice last year) I don't think you should feel guilty about liking any of them Quadders, as long as its only Duran Durans early tunes anyway. I love Planet Earth. Real sign of that time. My favourite though, Soft Cell, Visage, Early Human League. Gary Numans shops at ours this time of year too. His wife has the skin of a rhino. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just spotted Electronic in your list. Quality artists all through, and I have many records by them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Why feel guilty about music you get pleasure from. Capella rocks, I have their first album, Picotto produced some of the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well it's just a phrase, I don't actually feel guilt about them. But you know, in the same way there are awesome tunes you might dislike, there are crappy tunes you can't help but love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I love "True Faith" - seeing New Order play it live at Benicassim in the summer was magnificent too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbs Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 ooops! some of the tunages/sounds mentioned above are quite cool eg '80's electronica; and I like a bit of the old folk music too! but I confess to owning and singing along with Lady GAGA ! :silenced: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 For a bit of easy listening, I don't mind a bit of these two from The Shadows "Its a Sin" by The Pet Shop Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRHetRTOD1Q And "You Win Again" by The Bee Gees Am I allowed to claim this as its Christmas too?

Chrissie Brown Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well it's just a phrase, I don't actually feel guilt about them.

Chrissie Brown Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've still got the original "45" of The Shadows - Wonderful Land which l bought back in the early 60's. When l first heard "It's a Sin" l was on holiday at Butlins holiday camp in Minehead and it blew me away, l went up to the DJ and asked him what it was he was playing and l still love it today!

Briggsy Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 When l first heard "It's a Sin" l was on holiday at Butlins holiday camp in Minehead and it blew me away I saw them live a couple of years ago - and they were great. They sound as good live as they do on a CD (unlike many artists these days that sound awful unless they've had the help of Auto Tune and editing). I like allsorts across all styles - REM, UB40, Phil Collins, The Shadows, Pet Shop Boys, Aswad, Prefer the older stuff over current chart music though. Its all crap these days.

Number2Fan Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Briggsy I love that Mike Oldfield one. It's my favourite Christmas tune. Recently I downloaded the new War of the Worlds. And I like it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Briggsy I love that Mike Oldfield one. It's my favourite Christmas tune. Mine too. It isn't played enough on the radio at Christmas. They always go for the obvious Christmas tunes by The Pogues, Shakin' Stevens and Mariah Scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Listen to Asda FM Briggsy, they play it two or three times a day at the mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Haha yeah I heard it in Asda when I was in there.

lyndon Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 After watching Jamie Oliver on Channel 4, I like the following song "Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance" A friend of mine who used to do a dance show on BRMB in Brum a few years ago, had a wicked white label house/breaks mix of that he used to play. Never been able to track it down, yet. A few of mine could be:- JX - You Belong To Me Dario G - Sunchyme (don't know why) Dario G - Dream To Me (really commercial but liked it) New Order - Blue Monday DB Boulevard - Point Of View M People - How Can I Love You More There's a few more around i'm sure.
