Rick Smith Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What about some of the hideous crap that were massive at Wigan in the day - like Nosmo King, Goodby Nothing To Say and that bloody Cochise. How embarasing, they packed the floor. Thank god I've never heard them since. Although I'm surprised no one has included them on one of those cheesy so called Northern Soul CD's.

Soap Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Streuth SOAP you can read and write as well, is there no start to your talents. Judging by the amount of time you spend outside venues smoking you must hate a awful lot of the stuff played john, its just as well you don't smoke, you would spend as much time outside as me we are becoming to be known as waldorf and stadler Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

KevH Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 King of Crap - Dean Barlow - "3rd window from the right." (This was actually directions given to him while in a tower block.) In second place,DJ Genesis - "tribute to betty".(I've found that this is just long enough to go to the loo,then back to the bar for a beer.Try it.If you're lucky it will have finished by then.) Third,or is that turd,Travis Wammack - "Scratchy"...(a truly scary record, a swede ripper.) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Mrs M Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) i think a lots of these dislikes are based on the fact the listener has heard them far too much (understandable to a degree if you've been listening since mid 70's)..but honestly some are not crap as often cited!!..and i think some are jumpin on a bandwagon..it seems Frank Wilson is fave to be maligned.. In my case my dislikes are purely down to taste. I've heard Please Stay - The Ivories a million times but it's my all time number one. I love soul music across the board and if I like it fine, if not it's my personal preference. Each to their own.

Mattbolton Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It's gotta be a toss up between The Casualeers and 'You're Ready Now' for me. Mind you I used to despise The Del-Larks though finally came to my senses. Which I don't think I'll do with the two above. Did someone say Joey Delorenzo was a recent discovery?! How recent was 2003? I used to love this and still do. A proper Marmite record. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

SHEFFSOUL Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 the biggest surprise this thread throws up is the variety of sounds disliked. Some I'd consider stone cold northern soul classics, others decent records probably played too often, and then some lesser 'soulful' which were massive in the heyday and now are almost hated.Some are truly annoying..Scratchy..etc..but again compare them to lesser known, almost unknown rarer items ( sometimes played imo only coz they're rare) and it doesnt stack up.Instead of 'keep the faith and right on' I suggest a new northern soul soundbite 'Northern soul-Each to their own!'.... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John May Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Currently would have to be the Sydney Barnes - standing on solid ground, it's so commercial sounding & light weight, always used to be Geoff Perry - Love don't come no stronger.

Daved Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It's been filling floors around the East Midlands for 4 or 5 years now, it's a B side to an obscure Italian 12" which goes for about £75 if you can find one. it's one of those that got hammered on the modern scene and picked up by the northern crowd, Neo, Mario Biondi etc etc It didn't even get hammered on the modern scene, did it? Certainly not that I'm aware of. It's utter crap. I know some crap tunes are popular on the modern scene e.g. Lisa Stansfield, but God knows how someone that this would work at any kind of soul gig let alone a northern one.
