Scars still deep from all the beatings you took growing up!?

Surely a 1 week ban for RichM is in order.

rhouses what for big guy?

ScottBailey When it comes to songwriting, Noel Gallagher is the closest anyone has come to early 60s Beatles. It’s unfortunate Oasis never really evolved, like the Beatles did in their latter half.

Play Wonderwall in a pub today and the whole place will be singing along… even Millsy.

rhouses Wonderwall

What a fucking awful song. Popularity should never be a measure of quality.

Fucking hell rhouses 😆 Where the fuck do you dream this shit up?

Millsy

I really wouldn’t, Rhouses.

Cankles-McJeggings

Millsy this. Never saw the appeal when I could get right on it and dance all night to 4/4 music. Blur Vs Oasis and all that shite passed me right by. Shit for cunts etc

Exactly this. Can’t even be arsed to join in threads like this. The prog crew were out caning 4/4 every weekend not mincing round to wankers playing britpop.

RichM For bittersweet symphony.

Along_the_Wire Popularity should never be a measure of quality.

Sweet Caroline says Hi

RichM

Along_the_Wire so what is the measure of quality in music?

I would suggest popularity is one measure of quality, as it suggests you have made music that lots of people enjoy.

If you stuck the best guitar solo in the world into wonderwall would that change its status as a high quality song?

rhouses

Along_the_Wire This isn’t really about popularity, it’s more impact on culture.

ScottBailey

RichM it’s all personal opinion. One man’s treasure is another man’s trash. That being said, I don’t think popularity should be a barometer of quality. The fact that Aqua - Barbie Girl is in the top 20 of best selling songs of all time in the UK highlights this.

Smallman1

Sweet Caroline is an absolute hall of famer!

Phil-McRackin This track made it into a lot of my mixed tapes in middle school:

Along_the_Wire

rhouses what a load of crap, if the song wasn’t hugely popular, you still think it would be randomly sung by drunken twats in pubs?

ScottBailey My 1.5 year old mini me has put in at least $200 worth of youtube revenue in Aqua’s pocket over the last month. Everyday she’ll point at the TV and go - “Baaaaabbbbii.”

It was a mistake playing it for her.

RichM

ScottBailey that song was aimed at a certain audience, so whilst any adult thinks it’s awful, kids loved it, so surely that means it was a great song for its target audience. Not sure where I am going with this, and now have Barbie girl stuck in my head ☹️

Time to listen to GU13 and everything will be fine again

Still gets the blood pumping -
