Which Northern Track You Dislike The Most


Recommended Posts

Beat this for a pop tune Young Hearts Run Feckin Free our Candi (Who has made some decent tracks) played out at a venue near me only last week in the next room couldn't believe my ears Sad, Sad, Sad must turn my hearing aid off next time I go to the bar!

Oh & the dance floor was rammed how sad is that.

The one that really does me in the Frankie and the Classicals "What Can I Do"- her voice is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me. Also- "Moonlight Music In You" .

Moonlight music and you is one of my faves...and judy street. Nowt queer as folk I guess!

I'm thinking of loads now but will narrow it down to one carstairs record

amazing dancing band - deep blue train truly dreadful instrumental

bobby bennett - you're ready now one of the worst cover versions known to man

eddie foster - i never knew apart from the piano intro the rest is a waste of vinyl

edwin starr - scotts on swingers oh dear

mary saenz - would she do that for you as a girl group record, fine, as a northern record, hideous (see also bernadette catsro, gerri thomas)

the high & the mighty - help me escape from cuba lyrics so bad you can barely believe what you're hearing

kenny bernard - pity my feet singer sounds like he's attempting to pass a giant marrow

raw soul - the gig and bill pursell - heartbeat instrumentals for the insane

used to be fond of the high and mighty however i heard it for the first time in years just recently, and i have to agree with you,another one brothers grimm lookie,lookie. sounds like arnie swatsnegger

The Larue, never liked it never will. Third window is a stinker as already mentioned, don't like voodoo working either, as Matt said, each to their own, but I just can't warm to any of these


bugger Winston i quite Larue laugh.png but yes " third window from the sh#t hole and that voodoo b*llocks" they need playing with a lump hammer Edited by pikeys dog

Worst Northern track ever (fact) angers me just thinking about it! ranting_1.gif

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxlq4Jq_uxo

220 posts in and I think I've won hands down!

I mean Nolan Porter? Candi Staton? They got nothing on this 4 Chaps crud.... This is taken from Manship's YouTube playlist - and has been in Northern lists.

My mate said it sounds like a coupla barrow boys larking about and he's right, The Volumes they ain't!

No retorts on 'worst northern track ever - fact' I'm pleased to see. :wicked:

Did this side ever get plays? The other side True Lovers did which amazingly is quite a nice tune. But you're right this is arse, worse then Twiggy :thumbsup:

Would have been a brave man (or woman stan) to have played that out!

It's so unlike the plug side as to be by a different group. I just think they were trying to be all a bit Hermans Hermits with WYOWY, but they seem to have got it rather badly wrong.

offtread but have to agree with ray agee..top dancer..catchy as f+++! great rhythm and wow what vocals..no wonder its so bloody expensive!!

by the way excuse me if im being thick but how do you pronounce the g in his name?...is it like grape or giant? never been sure

dean

It's 'gee' as in 'gee whizz' isn't it Dean? Rather than a hard 'g' I always thought.

I always thought it was a hard "G" - still, probably depends on where you live.... is Scone Sc-own or Sconn...... :g:

Tommy Ridgley-my love is getting stronger utter dross!

George Lemons-fascinating girl utter sh**!

Paris-sleepless nights garbage that wants binning!

... so if anyone has any of these records I'll take them off your hands to save you the pain at no cost to you, I'm that sort of a guy

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?

Or Nobby!

:yes:

Frankie Crocker....ton of shite more like!

World Column....pleeazzze :shhh:

Neo....Smile.....fan my friggin custard.....should be called CRINGE and that feckin dj Genesis, what in the name of all thats holy is that all about?

Judy Street (sorry Pete)....tone deaf noise polluter

Cant believe someone said the Professionals, thats right up there with the best!! :thumbup:

Dance Dance Dance Casualeers just reminds me of a bad night I had at the Casino and this was played what seemed like every twenty minutes!!!

Yep, well remember going to Torch on one occasion, scored some sulphate, first time we'd seen it, couple of wraps, I'll swear they only had two records they played that night....Times a wasting and a tune I can hear in my head even now, but not enough to identify it, might be love you baby or self soul satisfaction.

Bad records, having bought a copy of Wombat, off fleabay, but on spec, not having heard it but seen it mentioned on another site, I'm inclined to agree :-

How did get classed as Northern?, I've relegated to back of record box, waste of greens as far as I'm concerned, anyone after a near mint copy PM me with a reasonable offer.

When I've told people this they have looked at me like i'm mad or something but I really dislike

Jackie Day - Naughty Boy

Mickie Champion - What Good Am I

I find them both really annoying. I do understand why people like them though.

another shout for just loving you /ruby andrews BORING!...always sends me to the bar and still played out WAY TOO F******* MUCH!!

dean

You couldn't make this shit up

Are you seriously tone deaf? Or just mentally retarded?

Anyone with any taste at all..even if they have never heard a soul record in their life can appreciate that record..it is unreally good..it gets played out for a reason..Completely wrong era of music for me and I still love it

I bet you have a Lighthouse Family CD

Esther Phillips is fucking fabulous, I had to sell my Betty O'Bryan something about it didn't work for me, must agree that trash talking the Ruby Andrews track is unfathomable... and Dena Barnes GTFO, that record is amazing!!

If you think I'll take a notion to jump into the ocean.......

How could I forget that atrocity

Have you ever had gear?

Or indeed been to a nighter?

You offer a big opinion about many records that many people loved.

It might never occur to you that you are insulting people with your pathetic remarks.

There are thousands of people who loved and adored that record.

You never went any where did you?

I used to hate the intro to 'Moonlight, Music and You' so much that I took to skipping it when playing it. Then I realised that the rest of the track was pretty crap too.

Chuck in that bloody Germs record that I can't remember the title of, and one that will get me strung up, 'Paris Blues'. I really detest that tune with a passion...

But what do I know?

That record by Wombat - I'm Gettin' On Life (Gemni)

What on earth is that all about :no:

It has a really peculiar and awkward rhythm, plus a really weird hillbilly, come country & western kind of sound

How anyone could accept this as a soul record, let alone a northern soul record beggars belief frusty2.gif

I might let someone off for having danced to it when just a teenager in an amphetamine-fuelled state. As for listening to it though - anyone who rates this as a soul or northern soul record 1) has cloth ears and 2) should have their head tested

It's one of the worst middle-of-the-road novelty records of all time

So endeth the sermon :wave:

Cheers

Richard

No idea whom you are, but a great reply

One of best dance tracks ever as you know by what you wrote.

Can't blame you for taking the mickey out of this thread.

I did it myself somewhere. Not sure where.
