yeah

i know what you mean, but i prefer spotify atm but thinking of switching to apple music, not sure yet though :tongue:

they are just a classic :tongue:

please do listen to them more, i could give you some recommendations if you want me to :smile:

yeh, same here... like seriously some of the bands/artists i listen to no one, like i mean no one has even heard of them, let along their songs :rofl:

ah, that explains a lot :biggrin:

i though you meant the railway children, like the kids book or something :lol:

didn't know there was an actual band called that :redface:

and it is really good btw

no worries, just stating the truth :h:

Ah right

I don't know much about Apple Music haha.

I edited my post above - I initially didn't think they were my thing myself, but someone at College recommended that I listen to 'Pet Sounds'. I haven't listened to it yet, but I've heard Good Vibrations and Wouldn't It Be Nice. I like vocal harmonies :tongue:

and they sounded good :biggrin:

Plus my mum plays them occasionally as she likes them. Yeah, you could at some point :smile:

Haha I sort of like that though :tongue:

although it is better when people actually know what you're on about :rofl:

The Chameleons for example. They're like the most underrated band in music :rofl:

They're fantastically good and no one really even knows about them :tongue:

The Bunnymen are underrated too I feel. Have you heard any other of their songs other than what you mentioned? :smile:

Yeah I really like that song :smile:

It's my favourite by them I'd say.

Hahaha ikr!!! :biggrin:

And right, I shall add you when I have just sent this message! :smile:

Aww that's awesome!! Sailing sounds so cool! Especially on a hot summers day! How come she decided to sell it? :frown:

Haha ikr, and thank you!! :smile:

Haha I know exactly what you mean actually - could go on about it for a fair amount of time :lol:

Absolutely nothing wrong with that though!

Oooh cool!! I have only heard a few of those, but have just added the others to my YouTube watch list for after revision! :biggrin:

I just love the guitar riff on This Charming Man - always puts me in a good mood!

Awesome!!! I like all of those songs - some fabulous choices there! Am I allowed to add a few?
Spandau Ballet - Chant No.1 and The Freeze
Depeche Mode - there are too many to choose from :tongue:

I will just have to go with Enjoy the Silence and Just Cant Get Enough (cheeeeeesy :lol:

)
Dire Straits - I really like Sultans of Swing, also, Romeo and Juliet is in an old guitar book of my dads so maybe I should learn it?! :lol:

Echo and the Bunnymen - All that Jazz and Read it in Books
Rolling Stones - this is nearly impossible, but Jumpin' Jack Flash and Brown Sugar
David Bowie - same as above :lol:

but I do like Suffragette City and The Jean Genie (not too sure of the spelling though :rofl:

)
The Eagles - I love Take it Easy! :five:

also James Dean and Witchy Woman
Roxy Music - Love is the Drug is my favourite, I bet you would recognise it too if you heard it!
Bryan Ferry - Tokyo Joe and Lets Stick Together
Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen
The Clash - Clash City Rockers and Rock the Casbah
Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper is their best! I also like ME 262
I agree with you on The Beatles! :five:

The Police - Message in a Bottle
UB40 - Food For Thought
Wham - Im quite sad, I like Club Tropicana, Young Guns (Go For It!) and Wham Rap (Enjoy What You Do?)
The Undertones - You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It) or Jimmy Jimmy
The Who - My Generation, Long Live Rock or Pinball Wizard

Haha oh I see! I would be curious as to what modern music your into though! These are The Hives;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1Jwyxd4tE
Duran Duran have been around since 1978 (formed by JT and Nick Rhodes). Though the 'famous 'line up' was established early 1980 :smile:

Hahaha I'm guessing The Hammersmith Odeon is in Hammersmith? :lol:

Haha omg really? I do like it, there Top of the Pops performance of it is funny (so is the video :lol:

)

i know what you mean but yes :tongue:

like when i find someone who's heard/knows of a band or artist, i'm like where have you been the whole of my life? :rofl:

totally agree with you that the chameleons and the bunneymen are/were underrated... i even asked my mum/older people i know about them and they even haven't heard of them, even though they were from that era :redface:

now that's bad, i mean really bad so bad it's awful... just makes me wanna cry sassking :sad:

for which, chameleons or bunnymen? or both? :smile:

yeah, will listen to more of their stuff at some point :smile:

@Amellia123 you might want to see this.... the reflex is my favourite song of all time, i swear. no seriously it was the one song that i used to love as a young girl haha (still love now haha :tongue:

) my dad used to always, and i mean always used to play it in the car like all the time :love he used to play it in the evening usually coming back from my grandma's who lives a couple of hours away and it was usually late enough that my sister and i were quite tired and i always tried to say awake for this song, even if my eyes were closing on me... no matter what, i had to listen to it... it brings back so many memories :' :wink:

(i seriously mean it when i say the favourite song of all time, but honestly i think it's the best in the whole wide world of music :tongue:

Of course i will! When i have completed maths revisons tonight (yay maths)

I shall reply to the listings fully when i next on the computer (so any left out will be answered!)
Depeche Mode not cheesy enough?!?! :eek:

what about New Life then? :lol:

I love Dire Staits, and yeah i do! Supposedly been playing since i was about 8, but ive never been for a lesson :lol:

i just download guitar tabs and go learn :lol:

Damn i forgot Rebel Rebel!! He has way too many good songs dont you think?
Did you not? Ahh not to worry, it used to be on the Debenhams advert a few years ago :lol:

Not for The Clash no? Oops :lol:

Which album of theirs is you favourite?
Haha yep! I know Blue Oyster Cult! :woo:

can play (Dont Fear) The Reaper, but some of the vocals are too low for me to sing :lol:

Awww! My mum had an old Beatles cassette that she used to play in the car all the time :lol:

Have you ever heard of The Hollies?
Haha going to see UB40 would be amazing - they orinate from the same club as Duran Duran!
Haha nothibg wront with a but of Club Tropicana, i actually forgot to add Bananarama to the cheesy artists list :lol:

The Undertones?! No way!! That would be awesome!!

Haha looks like i manged to answer to them okay (but this ia sooooooo slow :lol:

)

Hahaha well i dont have facebook so maybe just narrow it down to a top 20? :smile:

Do you really? They were on Jools Holland years ago, theyre so good live (well live on tv :lol:

) theyre all great songs! I also quite like main offender, and the link i sent was for 'hate to say i told you so' :smile:

Yeah, it was in 81 when they actually became famous (planet earth was realeased in march i think) and then they had totp fame! And yeah! Haha awesome!! Maybe its been demolished? The Rum Runner where Duran/UB40/Dexy's stared out was demolished in the late 80s *sigh*

The Reflex is your all time fave?! Omg!! Aww thats such a lovely way it becoming 'the best song in the world' too :love:

i actually cant believe this, i didnt know anyone else liked The Reflex (flex flex flex :lol:
