MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

Rock would be most of what I listen to but there's nothing wrong with the other end of the spectrum, pop's fine so long as it's fun and upbeat not slow and depressing. Bonus points if they do it live with electric guitars and real drums.

Definitely no dreary R&B, rap or the likes of Ed Sheeran though. I'm sure the artists are talented so I'm not being critical or nasty, it's just not my thing even slightly. Far too slow, quiet and "down" really but each to their own, the world would be boring if we all liked the same things. :xyxthumbs
Indeed, Smurf.

I consistently confound my wife who is very much a middle of the road type of person as far as music is concerned.

Once I get in the mood I can get lost in music for hours... But what does her head in is that one evening I may be listening to deeply religious or classical music, and the next listening to The Sex Pistols and other anarchist and protest type music LMAO.

Anyway, here's one to turn up the volume on.... Barton Cummings is well past his best, but Randy Bachman's performance here is legendary IMO.

Ah yes, the Sex Pistols.

A band that didn't last long, was loathed by mainstream radio stations and yet practically everyone's at least heard of them despite most not knowing their music.

That's quite some achievement really. I mean that in a good way.

Which gives me the sudden thought that Paul Cook (Sex Pistols' drummer) has the same 'doesn't fit with the rest' exception in terms of bands that I'd list. Big difference being he played the music, I only listen to it.... :laugh:

He's been in some way involved with all of these (and a few others as well):










And as producer for this odd one out from 1981. Yes really, believe it or not....

When you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
Ooooo-ooo-oooh
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please . . .

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
I don't think that I can take anymore.

Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
 
I sang this on the weekend for my nephew's engagement party... The first time I've sung in public.

Done it once when I lost a bet.

Done it once in a group of people standing on the dancefloor of a nightclub at ~5am when some DJ foolishly handed us a microphone. Probably because they were closing and us singing was a good way to get rid of everyone else and empty the place out..... :roflmao:

Done it for a few seconds at a real concert when the singer shoved a microphone in my face. In the front row yes.

None of my efforts were any good, not even slightly..... :laugh:
