Not sure I agree with Phyllis Hyman and Beloyd Ivor, but I'd happily wait a couple of years before hearing Gloria Scott "case of too much love making" again. Oh and that Channel 3 "sweetest thing" one does my head in now as well.

Ultimates "Girl I've Been Trying To Tell You"

A Miserable pile of poo (IMO).

(But then, maybe its not that I'm tired of hearing it... I just never liked it from the first time I heard it).

:unsure: shows how different we all are Sean - along with the Differences, The Ultimates is one of my favourite 70s sounds. :no:

Good thread!!!

Some of the main offenders have been named, but I'll add: the other Perry - It Takes Heart, Alfie feckin Davidson. And any other limp-wristed elevator music that's the right tempo for the beer monsters to shuffle along to, whilst proclaiming they like moddunn.

Sean

GET YOURSELF STRAIGHT DOWN THE DOCTORS IN THE MORNING SEAN...........

YOUR OBVIOUSLY NOT RIGHT :unsure:

OH, AND WHERES MY RECORD...! :no::shhh::yes:

Posted

Not sure about negative topics :unsure:

"Time is right for love" just sick to the back teeth with this one. Great record, great credentials and all that, but please get over it.

A bit more millage in the other side "If I don't love you" and a great version of it by the Choice Four on RCA album.

"Independant woman" what a load of pony.

You only have to look at Brett Franklin's Playlist, on the Media thread from the Saun Robbins show, to see what you can do with a bit of effort. Still not sure if that translates onto the dance floor.

More recent offenders are Solo "Blowing my mind" and Sean Oliver "You and me". I admit to playing them as new realeases but did'nt think I'd still be hearing them 10 years later.

Mind you I've only heard the Pioneers out a couple of times. Maybe I need to get out more, on the strength of that tune perhaps not :no: .

Regards Alan

The same things in a record which might mark it out as a potential monster (catchiness for want of a better word) can end up making it sickening on repeated listening: in the case of Alfie Davison, Charles Johnson and Jan Jones that's getting on for thirty years of hammer. Time for these tunes to be given a rest. If I love a tune on first listen these days I'm often sworn off buying it as I know I'll probably tire of it just as quickly.

It's just so bleedin miserable, Ivor.... or as we say in these parts 'Mardy'.

It sounds like some whinging, sad, lonesome, git crawled into the studio and bleated all the way through the lyrics while his equally despondent mates 'ooooo'd and coooo'd' in sympathy.

Just a Miserable frickin awful dire pile of Poo (IMO).

And yet... I love the other stuff by the same guys as the Enchanted Five especially "Darling, I Need You Now" and "Have You Ever".

Oh.... and as for your record....

....you're not having it until you admit I'm right!

laugh.gif:(:lol:

It was a tad strange when I heard Solo played recently at a Northern venue and described as a 'new discovery' (??!!)(honest!!). Suppose it shows how diverse this 'scene' is........ As many layers as an onion....... Or summat

:lol: shows how different we all are Sean - along with the Differences, The Ultimates is one of my favourite 70s sounds. :(

Viva La Difference, Steve. The Differences is a different kettle of fish, whereas, ultimately, I'm indifferent to the Ultimates.

:D

ace spectrum

Yep I'd happily never hear that again. Actually I'd have been happy to never hear it in the first place! :lol:

I'd also like to nominate Hamilton Movement - She's Gone, and I agree that the Differences needs a rest.

I've got plenty of 70's things that i could care less if i hear again, taste is so subjective isn't it...."one man's meat.etc."

You only have to look at Brett Franklin's Playlist, on the Media thread from the Saun Robbins show, to see what you can do with a bit of effort. Still not sure if that translates onto the dance floor.

Any chance of a link to Brett's playlist, thanks.

As is well known Steve, I can't stand the Ultimates and never could. I just don't see what people see in it. Yet The Differences, I love.
