That's Slade in their decline. It's like Big Country but without the spirit of reckless originality. 3/10. Oh alright, 5, as it's Slade.Quote:

Also - come on - ex-skinhead Midlands band with a classically-trained violinist. It's an Evelyn Waugh story waiting to happen.
*(The CD was entitled George Washington Kicked Your A**, which was the wording on a cardboard sign the Beloved's little sister held up in Arrivals at Newark airport when I first went to NJ to meet the family.)
Not to bad, not that good. 5/10
But I'm in the mood for somethin' a little more twangy and soulful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkx68...eature=related
And that is the kind of country music song that makes me not like country music: 1/10.

I kept waiting for something, anything, to happen, and it never did. 2/10.
I've been listening to a lot of rock from the 90s lately. I miss the 90s, when a lot of popular music was good. Like this.
It's ok. 7/10
This is 90's to me.
Man, I really don't feel very well. Can you call me a cab? No, a cab. I SAID, "CAN YOU CALL ME A...." Oh, forget it. I'll have another rum and coke.Quote:

Mark beat me to it.
hoope -- It's a little too sappy and polished for my taste. I likin' this right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omZ05EtVVTg
Mark -- Love the Pretenders and that song is great. 8/10
Sorry Comedian this song is not for my taste, so I give it only 4/10.
Here is a what I'm listening to and loving it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGI-4laiYb0&ob=av2e
It's fine. 4/10.
Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTEjCc8VI2o
It's better 6/10.
I found something I used to be fond of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WcB7...eature=related
There is no video, but we vote the music here don't we?
I can imagine myself enjoying this song more at a bar at a seaside town on a summer night but at the moment I am in the UK on a rather chilly October night: 5/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExTsO...eature=related
Pretty ok, I think it would grow on me. 7.25/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTltKbfvnfI
That is really not something I would listen to: 1/10
This song is stuck in my head at the moment (not even a fan of theirs):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7HahVwYpwo&ob=av2n
eech. . . that's very polished and computerized. I've sort of wanted to get into the Peas, though. But I just can't. Sort of like Dickens. 2/10
Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjdkc14-zwQ
Quite liked it and I am sure it would grow on me even more: 7/10Quote:

"This, on the other hand,..." bores me. Cannot see how this is better than "Free Falling": 3/10Quote:

Ah, now - think about that song. In the midst of a bland time for popular music, a considered and wry lyric about suicidal loneliness was hooked up to a jaunty little tune and it charmed its way onto every mainstream station and into every listener's brain. 10/10Quote:

Wierdly - I like this for the nostalgia. 8/10Quote:

Very nice sweet music I give it 5/10.
Here is something different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1ZvUDvLDY&ob=av2e
Edit: I voted Jack of Hearts' song, sorry. I was too slow..
Sorry Mark - I didn't realise you were posting. I'll edit mine out.
Good song again. I remember him on that show that Hughie Green did in the 60's/ 70s hiding under his hat and playing the piano.Quote:

Mark- No. Just because you're old, and you were alive when he made it, doesn't make the song good. 0/10 and may god have mercy on your soul.
Paul- Nostalgia is the dust on the furniture.
Olga- 10/10 for Tupac.
Here ya go.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMsZ6wkZWhA&ob=av2n
EDIT: 6/10 for Paul's Whitesnake. A little bit of love for the Heart of the City.
You're missing the point, but I'll make allowances because you're only young.Quote:

I liked this music! Thank you Jack! I assumed we have similar tastes.Quote:

Mark I give you 4.5/10. It's not about our ages, it's about our tastes.Quote:

partly because of the discussion of Tom Petty earlier. I think I like "She's my Baby" and "End of the Line" more, actually.
Love it (though my favorite is "Handle Me With Care"): 8/10Quote:
