Pete S Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I thought I was the only one who hates Woman Lover Thief and prefers the Precisions. That's 3 of us then at least. That riles me almost as much as seeing someone using the phrase B-B-Q, it's LOVE thief not LOVER thief. Why do people call it that (well I do know, because of a Kent error) and why do people call NABAY the name NARBAY? 1
Guest miss nancy Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I could have written all of that myself! Excellent choices Steve. Paris had a record as "Mr tears Paris" and that's equally as bad if not worse. Maybe its the wrong thread but .... Say something nice .... love it!!!
Pete S Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Maybe its the wrong thread but .... Say something nice .... love it!!! Thats one record which doesn't have much middle ground, people seem to either love it or hate it.
MotownDave Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 can only think of two that i really detest and they are Mickie Champion What good am i...and Dee Clark Thats my girl both bilge of the highest order
Guest Awake 502 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 At the time I always hated Michael and Raymond......
Guest Swish Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I know an answer to all your dislikes. Drop 15 green and clears and SUDDENLY YOUR WORLD WILL BE FILLED WITH SUNSHINE. Ooops, shame they don't exist anymore. You could take them and even Abba KNOWING YOU KNOWING ME sounds like f******* dynamite. I should know cos I done it. On the other hand take a few tuinal and drink a few pints and you'd not only hate all the above records but every other one you ever heard and your mates and your family AND ANY OTHER F**** WHO WANTS TO TO HAVE A F**** GO! (Tuinal don't exist now either. Thank GOD!). As I said before, it's all relative to company, gear and time and place. OH YES IT IS! Of course that is just my opinion. Give me 20 blueys and I'll just agree with you. Honest, no problem.
Guest Swish Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Oh and by the way I love STEMMONS EXPRESS with or without stimulants. How can SUCH MISERY be better or worse when they are both the same record with different words? Someone kindly explain Thanks.. Edited August 31, 2011 by Swish
boba Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Oh and by the way I love STEMMONS EXPRESS with or without stimulants. but is that with or without benzos?
Guest ritchie Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 OK...... Mel Britt (She aint going to come running back if that's the best you can do Mel) I hate it and I think a lot of other people do as well, it's just that they ain't got the minerals to admit it....... It's become a sacred cow and it's about time it was culled ....
Citizen P Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Oh and by the way I love STEMMONS EXPRESS with or without stimulants. How can SUCH MISERY be better or worse when they are both the same record with different words? Someone kindly explain Thanks.. Can't explain-it's all personal...but You may as well ask why Can It Be Me is so much better than that feckin Aspirin thing.... ATB Tony
Mark S Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Most stuff by Terry Callier dont know why though , Millie Jackson - House for sale what a misserable dirge , Colour him father - propper finger in throat get me a bucket please sentimental crap . 1
Guest in town Mikey Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I feel like I'm on the wrong website. I thought this was a place for fans of, amongst others, Northern Soul?
Davetay Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Can't explain-it's all personal...but You may as well ask why Can It Be Me is so much better than that feckin Aspirin thing.... ATB Tony Same thing with "Prove Yourself A Lady" and "Permanent Injury"
Citizen P Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Same thing with "Prove Yourself A Lady" and "Permanent Injury" Kinnell Dave-I was hoping to keep that b*stard well off the Radar T. 1
Davetay Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Kinnell Dave-I was hoping to keep that b*stard well off the Radar T. You started it Tony, with the aspiran THING.
Guest Polyvelts Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 The joke's on you. I cant believe Kenny Gamble did something this awful ! Stunningly lame plodding rubbish !
pikeys dog Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 OK...... Mel Britt (She aint going to come running back if that's the best you can do Mel) I hate it and I think a lot of other people do as well, it's just that they ain't got the minerals to admit it....... It's become a sacred cow and it's about time it was culled .... See post #31
Spacehopper Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 another shout for just loving you /ruby andrews BORING!...always sends me to the bar and still played out WAY TOO F******* MUCH!! dean
Pete S Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 another shout for just loving you /ruby andrews BORING!...always sends me to the bar and still played out WAY TOO F******* MUCH!! dean There's loads like that which have just been hammered so much that they've turned into 'handbag' records. Because Of You - Jackie Wilson is another one.
Pete Eccles Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Everytime this topic arises the same 2 records spring to mind, after a quick look through this thread I don't think either have had a mention, so it could just be me, but I find these 2 tracks teeth itchingly dreadful, bearing in mind they have been and still are in some cases immensely popular Holly St James - That's not love Dee Clark - That's my girl Edited September 1, 2011 by Pete60 1
grant Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 To me the Jewel's is one of the best records ever,or at least the best record from 1964 ever. oh I'll hold you frankie and johnny as well as picture me gone bobby bennett are scraping the barrel agree with you there Ken, sounds great loud over a good system, but may make other peoples ears bleed. heres a few 'can't stand' from me... awful instr.of 'Im Coming Home In The Morning' (vocals not much better either) Jackie Wilson - Because Of You Ace Spectrum - Dont Send Nobody Else Four Perfections - Im Not Strong Enough and that feckin Salt & Pepper thing of recent times j
Guest Polyvelts Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 RE Tunes you used to love but cant bear anymore due to overuse O'Jays - I'll never forget you and Metros - Since I found my baby More 'played out' than any typical played out oldie IMO
Codfromderby Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 ive always disliked yvonne baker didnt say a word, cant stand her singing, also dislike bobby kline, also dislike gladys knight no one could love you more, the starts brilliant then it just goes on and on, and i dont like sam dees lonely for you, horses for courses as they say...... oh and love jo jama, both versions !
Wiggyflat Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I'm Your Pimp-Skullsnaps.....dated badly.. pimps just don't do it anymore I Can't Help Lovin Dat Man-Ila Van.........It's the boobity boops that grate I've Got To Have Your Love-Pierre Hunt....the backing singers sound like they have just finished singing The Generation Game
KevH Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 "One bad apple" - Osmonds,never did like this at Wigan.
Guest miss nancy Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 "One bad apple" - Osmonds,never did like this at Wigan. lol
Northern Soul Uk Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Skiing in the snow - Wigans ovation - Oh dear! and oh why???
Mal C Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Cant stand : Joey Delorenzo - Wake Up To The Sunshine Girl - Dreadful record, never liked Mind & Matter - I'm Under You're Spell, French Fries - Danse À La Musique, not that I take it seriously, The Cammotions - Motown is very bad, and one track I really cant stand that seems to be recognised as a big sound, The Inmates – This is the day ... Mal.C
Impact Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The worst northern soul record is still a country mile ahead of any other genre imo
SallieJane Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The worst northern soul record is still a country mile ahead of any other genre imo Apart from Wigans Ovations - Sking in the Snow.....pure pop.....and many others in the 70s of that ilk .... otherwise agree entirely
Impact Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Apart from Wigans Ovations - Sking in the Snow.....pure pop.....and many others in the 70s of that ilk .... otherwise agree entirely Pop music exactly, Wigans Ovations could never be classed as northern soul
Guest Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 'some things are better left unsaid' KETTY LESTER Twee, nightmarish record...
Guest garysoul82 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 This post should be titled WHAT DO NORTHERN SOULIES ACTUALLY DO LIKE.
Guest Ian 1930 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Born a Loser - Don Ray This love of Mind - Carole Waller I've Got to Have Your Love - Pierre Hunt - if only for Pierre's shocking vocal performance! Thankfully I haven't heard these played out for a long, long time.
Rich Buckley Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Barbara Redd - I'll Be All Alone. Utter clip clop dog turd. She'll very certainly be on her own with that toilet performance. Even just writing this is bringing me out in a cold sweat. Dreadful dreadful record. Rich
Hill868 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Always hated the Shakers ' One wonderful moment ' = bloody awful, and played to death multiple times at Cleethorpes, Peterborough, etc in the late 70's, also always disliked Terrible Tom, Nolan Porter ' Only be sure ', Benzine ' Village of tears ' . - could probably compile a list as long as an arm if i had the time and inclination !!
Tomangoes Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I'm shocked at some of the records mentioned being 'hated'. Not judging at all, just shocked. Manifesto? Eddie Foster? Carstairs? Montclairs? Must cover 90% of what NORTHERN SOUL IS ALL ABOUT!! What DO YOU RATE!! Maybe the next thread is:- Linda Jones, Just cant live my life, is a great Northern SOUL record, does anybody disagree? Ed Edited September 4, 2011 by tomangoes 1
Mark Bicknell Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Liking soul and liking northern are two very different animals, if the two meet bingo.
Harry Crosby Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mhPohonM5I YUK!!!!!!!
Thfcliam Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Useless records which should never have been played: miss dee dee philips - hey little girl mike mcdonald - god knows king errison - zola montclairs - hung up on your love carstairs - it really hurts me girl jc messina - time won't let me ellingtons - destined to become a loser happy cats - these boots are made for walking baby dolls - got to get you into my life the ellingtons - destined to become a loser? Good record IMO Loads of people really like it and it gets played alot but I really dont like majestics-i love her so much it hurts
Alan Bonthrone1 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mhPohonM5I YUK!!!!!!! That,s Pish.
Lfcjunkie Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 ruby andrews just loving you drive's me up the wall should be banned and never played again heres hoping I think overkill did this record IN good writers producers(bridges Knight and eaton)
Guest mickeyb Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Scratchy! can't stand it, cheers Jim. Same as that. Used to bring me down immediately - cheaper than sodies!
Geordiejohnson Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Pete has anyone mentioned Joe Jama Cats eyes life......what was that all about!!!!! Billy kennedy if i was a kid, just grates on me horrid intro..just fking horrid eli bonaparte - never and everyday thing, i will snap every one i ever come across Geeoooordie
