_The Lady in Red_ only gets stick because Chris De Burgh looks like a Dustman. If it'd been recorded by George Michael it would've been a lot more popular.
West Life taught the original artists how it should have been done. They also had a massive impact on the foot stool market. Changing how we look at seating requirements for pop stars for ever.
The band I don't get is Radiohead. I quite liked "Creep" (which they apparently now hate), and everyone told me that OK Computer was a brilliant album - but I've tried listening to it many times, and it does nothing for me...
Shouting out from the Midwest USA 🇺🇸 Came across your channel by RUclipss suggestion. I was your 12th view and 3rd like. And, possibly your second "outside comment." 1.) Your vanacular is a hoot and truly appreciated. 2.) On 14 of the 15, you are spot-on. 3.) Coldplay would be the exception. To me, their songs are poetry in motion, walls of sound flowing, colorful rivers of musical notes 🎵 into a lake of serenity ✨️ 💕. But then again, I am blessed because I happen to see and hear sounds as-well-as hear and see colors. (BTW: I am 70 years young and continue to spin vinyl, CD's and SACD's on rather esoteric stereo gear. I have no computer, however, do own a kick-ass Galaxy S23 Note Plus cellphone with "developers options" opened and available.)
I feel the same about The Rolling Stones and it eats away at me because I tell myself that I should like them but at the end of the day I agree about Micks voice.
@@pockenrop5837 Drake has excreted too many records. "Record" is just short for "recording." Vinyl is a shit physical format. The vinyl revival/fetishisation is simply Big Oil getting idiots and snobs to pay to fill their homes with an industrial waste product.
frank zappa is more experimental humour rock , ya have to take it with a pinch of salt , tunes like "bobby brown" and "the muffin man" they are hardly taking themselves seriously !
@@PSUK Musical genius without doubt. Although I do get why some people don't get him. And he's an easy artist to misunderstand. But the top two deserve to be on here .
My first introduction to Chris De Burgh was when I was in a school play at primary school. It was probably mid 80s and I played RIchard The Lionheart and I can't remember how many songs were used, but Jerusalem Is Lost was definitely used
sharing the hatred towards "I'll be missing you" 100% also some hits of past and present that send me into a seething rage... "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club "Mouldy Old Dough" by Lieutenant Pigeon "Ain't Nobody" Felix Jaehn version (it's actually amazing how anyone could suck all the life from such a powerful original) "Shotgun" by George Ezra "Yummy" by Justin Bieber 😡!!! also, the Mick Hucknall factor is real, there was a very old Guardian article where they called him "Cabbage Patch Bryan Ferry" and there's also a joke abt him in "24Hour Party People"
Coldplay seem to be a band that everyone hates, but still manage to be incredibly successful. I've only heard the singles, which weren't enough to make me track down the albums, but equally, don't make me want to actively avoid them.
Not really a fan of any of the ersatz-soul/r&b*/hip-hop acts - (and had forgotten about I'll be missing you) - but Jay-Z's Hard Knock Life is, for me, the nadir of this sort of thing. (The Fugee's Killing Me Softly would be OK if they stuck to the song and cut out all the shouting "one time" in the background. *A friend related his daughter telling him she was in to R&B - he was quite excited at the prospect of getting to play her his old Jeff Beck & Eric Clapton records...
@@pockenrop5837 But there are some you clearly do. You did move off Zappa pretty quickly but really went to town on some others. Your number one I would probably have on any list of mine if there was enough room for them.

Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Cheryl Cole, Little mix, Girls Aloud Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, One direction, and oh god yes Westlife sooo boring tune less crap
@@alisonhodge1778 my thoughts on your list - maybe, no, no, actually you've got a point there, nah, no - sound of the underground rocks, hmmm maybe, no, no.
I can't be arsed to hate - or even be irritated by - the likes of Maroon 5, Coldplay or Westlife. That's like getting enraged by the sight of a magnolia room or vanilla icecream or an edition of "Find it, fix it, flog it."
I liked Coldplay to start with, but I switched off around Viva La Vida and don't have any idea of most of their songs since then I don't mind some RHCP songs, but I prefer Faith No More One group I would definitely have on my list is UB40. I can't stand any of their songs I remember catching Westlife's debut on UK TV. I think they were still called Westside then before they had to change their name. We then later got Boyzlife when there was the join up with Boyzone (not sure which of each lot was in this group). I couldn't stand the whole mid to late 90s boy/girl group scene. The only one I didn't mind was Sugababes, although there have been so many iterations but the original trio are back and actually sing live
I think I've mentioned to you before that I think some Zappa is great, some is poor, and some I would probably think was great if I were musically literate enough to understand it...
You are so wrong on Chris de burgh listen to revolution light a fire and Liberty from the Getaway Album in fact just listen to the Getaway Amazing Songs! and I am no way a fan! yes Lady in Red is Shocking but don't judge on 2 songs!
I was never that keen on Simply Red (they played the SU when I was in Leicester, but I didn't go to see them - Money was too tight to Mention - but despite that, they do have some good songs. I'd swap them out for Jamiroquai who seem to be ploughing the same furrough
Hard to disagree with any of your choices except for one - Frank Zappa. Admittedly theres a lot to dislike of his music but within his extensive catalogue, there are some absolute gems which when compiled, make for about an hour or so of great listening. which, in my opinion, gives him a pass.

@@tim_ellis took me 20 years to get Radiohead and the bends only clicked for me 2 years ago. Now it's my favourite album of the 90s
I actually like OK Computer. It’s the relentless acclaim of Kid A that leaves me scratching my head.

it wasn't Puff Daddy, B*witched, drake or Robson & Jerome who kept your preferred acts off the #1 spot. It was the record buying public.
75% true - Drake didn't actually have a record for a record-buying person to buy.

Lady in Red is a dreadful song, but Spanish Train, Patricia The Stripper and Crusader are all great.
No there're not.

Surprised nobody mentioned Mariah Carey to be honest, as the saying goes there's no accounting for taste lol
The Smiths, U2 and all boy bands make me cringe

UB40 became pointless when they (seemed to) just bring out covers of other people's songs - Which ties in to the boy/girl group scene...

Marroon 5, Coldplay and One Direction, my top 3 worst bands ever.
Reprehensible human beings and dreary songs, yet no mention of the Smiths ;)
@@tim_ellis because the smiths were awesome even if Morrissey is a tosser.
Where is AC/DC ? My #1 most loathed band. Childish, simplistic guitars. Sophomoric lyrics. And the two worst vocalists in all of rock and roll.
Yeah, but you weren't born in the middle of a railroad track, were you?
I think all these bands/artists suck also but nobody really gives a shit what you think.
REM. Give me heckles.
@@webstarr4542 love REM. Avoid the video I'll be posting within the next few months.
