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:)

Original post by bookworm246love
well, neither did i but it turns out that it is actually very much like spotify :smile: i haven't made up my mind about it yet though

i like most of their song but the best are good vibrations and surfin' usa :tongue:

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: any recommendations?



yeah, i saw it too and you'll never guess what? :tongue: @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:)


Ah right I see :smile:

Ah, that's cool :biggrin: I remember my dad playing The Beatles when I was younger. I particularly remember this :tongue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGHQFjlsvCk

Same here :rofl:

I see :tongue: Yeah that is, but ah well, we get to enjoy the greatness :wink: :tongue:

Ah sorry, The Bunnymen :tongue:

These are from the first album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0adDW3_siQM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAd2wv_SzUI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nAi3GM1DA

I won't accept if you don't like these because I like almost all of their songs :rofl: but no, fair enough if you don't :tongue:

I haven't listened to them loads but...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc7exoQ1jkQ (vinyl crackle! :tongue:)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDpOMTjE-bg
So apparently these were going to get thrown out in my College! I took them home :tongue: Should be interesting :smile:

(Sorry that it's upside down, you'll need to tilt your phone/laptop and zoom in :tongue:)

Yep still at school :tongue: I'm in Y13, what do you do? :smile:
Hha ahh okay fair enough then :P Have you ever heard of Yazoo? Its basically the guy from Depeche Mode who wrote all the songs went on to form another band with a woman - they were rather good! The song 'Don't Go' is their best (I think!)
Awesome!! :awesome: and yep! I'm not as good as I probably should be :giggle: though I can play a fair amount of songs :lol: I bet you actually really good! What is your favourite song to play? :smile:
Sorry, that was bad wording on my part. The song 'Love is the Drug' used to be on the Debenhams advert a long time ago (its some pop song now :lol:) And (about The Clash) I don't know what that was even meant to say - I'm sorry (I cant even understand myself most days :lol:)
Hahaha fear not - you have found another fan! :woo: Omg yes we totally should :lol:
Ahhh right, The Hollies were a 60s band (kind of like The Beatles)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNeUTFSmnc

It was called The Rum Runner - had a funny triangular shaped bar :lol:
Hahaha Ikr!! They had quite a few very good songs!

Haha a link to The Hives live? Sure! They did 3 songs on that program....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQioCjYnbxw

unfortunately, the other two are no longer available on youtube (as it would seem) but they also did Tick Tick Boom and Go Right Ahead :smile:

Look who else was on the same Hootenanny!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck9sl_yM9_U&list=PLP6rQTUN2hhSdllS6sQ7u6lsKJJhyMbmH&index=14

Yeah Planet Earth was their first single! Though the first song they wrote together was Sound Of Thunder :smile: And yep Dexy's Midnight Runners :biggrin: Where do you think the 'Runner' part came from? :wink:

I totally agree, though I have been unofficially banned from requesting any 80s music (huge emphasis on Duran Duran) at the y13 leavers prom :rofl: Ikr! Its such a feel good song, I have been singing it all day in fact :lol:

Yeah they do! Early evening on BBC4 on Thursdays/Fridays (its 1981 at the moment, we're at about August/September time). I think about 7.30/8 ish?
And yep!!!! Same :lol: I like how he can still sing too :biggrin: I like that they show quite a few music videos also, as some of the ones on youtube can be a bit iffy quality wise :lol:

Thanks for ganging up on me :colonhash: :rofl: Still though, it is an awesome song that SassKing would find it a pleasure to sing :rofl: I have their album; 'Agents of Fortune' to listen to at some point actually :smile:

@Amellia123 The only Hollies song I actually know is;
[video="youtube;YzbAcTVP6SY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzbAcTVP6SY[/video]

I should look into them more :tongue: I mean to sometime... You should definitely check out The Byrds if you like 60s Beatles-esque bands :smile:

Not really SassKing - You're forgetting Amellia still hasn't forgotten the massacre of Duran Duran :colonhash: (not a Red Carpet Massacre though :lol:)
I do like that one - I think it came out later in their career? (1970?)
Oooh yes I should!! Do they sing My Back Pages? I like that song :smile:

'Massacre' :rofl:

Yeah it was later. (I think so :smile:)

Yeah they do :smile: They also sing Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn! Turn! Turn! and I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better. Jangly guitars and vocal harmonies :tongue: Awesome stuff :biggrin:

Actually was - how harsh of you :rofl:
Oh right okay! Was going to say they look a little older :lol:

Ohhhhh I see! I think I have heard Turn! Turn! Turn! after the AoS episode with the same name :lol: Haha I see - definitely worth me having a listen to then! :biggrin:

*Sigh* Well, I can see where I am not wanted. Looks like SassKing will take himself and his Bunnymen daily elsewhere... *sigh*

:tongue:

Yes :smile: Mr. Tambourine Man was actually a Bob Dylan cover.

How was that even insinuated?! :lol: I don't remember saying those words :tongue: Hmmm okay then, but we all know you'll be back with Bunnymen Daily again tomorrow :tongue: :lol:


Oh right okay! Everytime there's a Bob Dylan documentary on, my dads like 'do we have to watch this' so I have never really heard any of his songs (though I'm sure I have done but not realised :lol:)

:rofl: Yeah to be honest my attempt at trying to be funny failed there :lol: So never mind :rofl:

Oh really? :tongue: To be honest, I haven't heard an awful amount of his songs myself. I have one of his albums to listen to though. You've probably heard Like A Rolling Stone before. I like a song of his called Hurricane; It's about a boxer that got framed for murder. It's based on a true story actually :smile: It isn't on YouTube unfortunately though, so I can't send you it...

Haha oh oops - sounds like the story of my life tbh :lol: :getmecoat:

Yeah - says hes boring :rofl: though can see why people liked/do like his stuff. Ahhh I see, if you know which album its from ill listen to it (for some reason I seem to have ALL of the Bob Dylan albums from when I bought a used hard drive - so much free music!) And for some reason when I used to use iTunes, because most of the music I had wasn't genuine, it left me with all the Bob Dylan albums and Abba (yay) :rofl:

Haha :tongue:

I think he's somewhat of an acquired taste... :tongue: Yeah, he's one of the 'big' musical figures. It's from the album called 'Desire'. Not listened to it myself, I have 'Bringing It All Back Home' album to listen to sometime.
