I know it's not fair, or probably politically correct, but the Brummie accent is particularly silly in my opinion. Not in a bad way, it just sounds like what a person from a farm should sound like, but it's the second city.

Makes me laugh, but isn't supposed to.

Feel kinda mean saying that. :-)

Lol, Donie, you're priceless....

Mooooo.....:D

Actually Noddy used to remind me of Worzel Gummidge (if you remember him!)

Ol' Donie · 11-04-2014 11:33PM

Ha, maybe that's why i think they sound like they should be on a farm!

(What did he sound like again?)

Ol' Donie · 11-04-2014 11:43PM

"Slade's act was somehow uncool for America..."

In fairness it is kinda understandable.:-)

Ol' Donie · 11-04-2014 11:47PM

Truth is, like the mightly Thin Lizzy, I just don't love Slade as much as I should.

Ol' Donie · 11-04-2014 11:54PM

Poor old Amy.

Not for me, tonight.

Party on.

Louise Wener!

*sigh*

Ah, Louise

Loved the Britpop videos (and the radio shows during the week).

I think there were some great songs in those years, and it gets unfairly criticised now. There was a real vibrancy around British music then which has never been repeated. Jarvis, Liam, Noel, Damon and the rest were smart, witty talented frontmen who usually had something interesting to say.

TFI Friday, TOTP, Later with Jools and the rest, listening to BBC Radio 1 on dodgy AM and FM, reading the NME and Melody Maker in Easons every Friday, hogging the listening post in HMV, copying CDs onto tapes for my Walkman and getting into some brilliant gigs.

Good times.

Every band that passed thru Liverpool and Manchester, me and my chums were there - even though we weren't that much of a fan of them, you just 'felt' that you had to be there. It felt as normal as going to the pub - strange I know, but every gig seemed like that. You would see everybody from your sixth form there!

*digs out 'Shine' compilations*

I wonder if the Bay City Rollers copied the Tartan from Slade?

Ah here, don't tell me I missed the Bay City Rollers last night???

*swoon*

Love it WM, must have been great to see those bands regularly.

Shine! Happy Days!

Shine Too was an absolute stonker of a tape.

In my head I still expect Wake up Boo to lead into Change by the Lightning Seeds every time I hear it. I must track down a CD copy. Or make a Playlist version in the same order ...

1. Some Might Say - Oasis
2. The Changingman - Weller, Paul
3. Girl from Mars - Ash
4. Love Spreads - Stone Roses
5. A Girl Like You - Collins, Edwyn
6. Wake Up, Boo! - Boo Radleys
7. Change - Lightning Seeds
8. Staying Out for the Summer '95 - Dodgy
9. Finetime - Cast
10. Waking Up - Elastica
11. Ridiculous Thoughts - Cranberries
12. Vegas - Sleeper
13. Where I Find My Heaven - Gigolo Aunts
14. Haunted by You - Gene
15. Now They'll Sleep - Belly
16. Sparky's Dream - Teenage Fanclub
17. Stay Together - Suede
18. Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays
19. Love Will Tear Us Apart 95 - Joy Division
20. Underwear - Pulp

I think that might be up there with Best of the Beatles in my favourite compiations

Ol' Donie · 12-04-2014 11:40PM

Did Dodgy count as Britpop?

Good Enough was the theme tune to one of the best summers ever, even though i never owned a copy of it. It was everywhere.

Good call Donie,That was a song I always turned up when it was on the radio. It radiates Sunshine. Happy Days.

Don't mean to pick holes, as it were, but they don't look like blue jeans to me Neil!!

Love that song, it's on my Karaoke repetoire.

As is this Racy song

Some girls will, some girls won't ...

Guilty pleasure city so far!

Ol' Donie · 12-04-2014 11:59PM

Second to a good mullet, my favourite thing is coordinated steps from the guitar and bass players. Rock and roll!!

Skid X · 12-04-2014 11:59PM

legs & co look much better when they are singing dancing with a band, instead of doing a silly interpretation of lyrics.

Supertramp!

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:03AM

Bloody sax. Booo!

Skid X · 13-04-2014 12:13AM

Bright Eyes, I can't listen to this without blubbing.

Poor little bunnys

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:13AM

Jesus, Watership Down gives me the absolute creeps. Like nothing else.

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:17AM

Haven't seen it in years mind you. I just remember a black rabbit (god i HATED him) and some other rabbits all beaten up and wrecked.

Still, you can't say Art couldn't sing.

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:19AM

This looks very promising.

It was nice for Art to have a solo no.1, he really enjoyed it. Lovely song on its own if you can separate it from the film

I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver, When the switch broke 'cause it's old ...

love Radio Radio. Top Tune.

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:22AM

Truth is I prefer the actual Gardai to Sting and his (ex) buddies.

Skid X · 13-04-2014 12:26AM

I love Hit me with your rhythm stick.

It was funny when I was small, still a great song now.

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:27AM

It's a great tune! Funky ass bass!

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:29AM

And I have extra love for anyone who doesn't dig Lloyd Webber's nonsense.

Skid X · 13-04-2014 12:30AM

Up the Junction might be on my Desert Islands Discs list.

Definitely on the shortlist.

Ol' Donie · 13-04-2014 12:32AM

Wow, a rake of good tunes tonight.
