Did anybody else see

[EFM's Librarian]

Mastermind last night? One of the rounds was 'Beatles recordings from 1962-1970' and I would have thought Mr Zeal would have done pretty well on this. Problem is, I can only remember 5 of the more easy questions to test him on, and he wants to know what the rest of them were. Can anybody help?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I presume I got the few that you sent me right then? To be honest, to anyone who knows anything about the Beatles at all, they were well easy.

Which band are widely regarded as the first boyband?

Answer - Bros

No... the answer is <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[EFM's Librarian]

Yes, the ones you answered were correct. I don't think you would have got the one about the number on the label of one their records, but as I can't remember the exact question, I can't ask you it.

 

I know they were easy, I got all those right, and I know very little about the Beatles. I can't remember the harder ones because I didn't know them, hence the request for help from anybody else.

I've just sussed out your music tastes, Thornsy...

 

You seem to ONLY like stuff that is fast, loud and bouncy. Carter, early-Inspirals, Chumbawumba, Junior Senior etc.

 

Anything slower, or a bit meloncholy, or a bit thought-provoking, you don't seem to get, hence why you doesn't like middle-period Inspirals or Radiohead. Also, why you have no clue about anything the Beatles did after 1964.

 

That is not a criticism, by the way. I do, and always, respected your music tastes, goddammit!!

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I like all the Inspirals stuff.

 

I think you have my music taste sussed though - Add Bis and a few others to that list.

 

You shouldn't have to think to music!

<img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> That's what a large part of music is about for me.

Thornsy - You sound like a Robbie Williams/Blue/Fast food rockers fan <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Fast Food Rocks! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Prehaps I meant, you don't need to slit your wrists to music - then I can lump Radiohead and Blue in the same block.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Have to agree with Libro - I can't just have music on. I have to sit and think about it and concentrate on it. One of the reasons I don't want to lose my 'Hail To The Thief' virginity at work in the office!!

 

 

[Little Miss Urchin]

Concentrate to music? Nah, just sit back and relax.

There are different musics for different things, Radiohead require concerntration, whereas if you just want something as a pleasant background noise get out the coldplay albums, no disrespect but it's just easy listening.

 

Great music requires effort, good music doesn't need a great deal and pop music is for people with a very short span of attention.

Didn't people say something similar about the Manics? Now they are a bunch of poo!

[SteveP]

I never said they were life changing, in my opinion they are by far the best band out there at the moment. A lot of people like their work because it is innovative, agreed it certainly isn't Kraftwerk, but it mixes styles and they're one of the few bands I still anticipate seeing or hearing because I think they're just a bit special and I cn honestly say none of their albums have let me down yet.

 

Manics aren't bad, a bit overrated in my opinion.

Manics are OK. Got a few of their albums but they're not as good as people make out.

now where's me Gina G

[Chubbhead EFM]

I have to agree with Zeal on this one. Whenever I listen to music I always turn the telly off and just concentrate on what I'm listening to.

 

For me, a good piece of music is one that makes me feel some sort of emotion, whether it be a good or bad one. The reason I find music by the likes of The Beatles, Oasis, Radiohead, Blur, The Manics etcetc so enduring is because the albums they produce grab my attention and every song makes me feel something different. I get something new out of it every time I listen to it. Albums by the likes of Coldplay don't really do that for me, even though I enjoy them. There's a certain lack of depth to their songs (I'm just using Coldplay as an example here) and I often feel that once I've heard the album once, there's nothing else to learn about them.

[YELLOW]

As I've said in a previous post Coldplay can only really produce one type of song, reflective loved up ballads. They need to produce a far wider range. Any good rock group can do a wide range of stuff from ballads to epic guitar anthems. I think Coldplay need to discover a new sound and provide more raucous and hard hitting vocals before they can be ranked alongside the likes of The Beatles, Stones, Oasis and U2.
