Whats Your Top 5 Song Of All Time.....

[YELLOW]

Liam Gallagher said in a interview that if he was somewhere inbetween John Lydon and John Lennon in terms of voice then he would be very happy.

 

Not sure if you can use this as an influence.

[Electric ~soul~]

Oasis are the closest we've had to a bona fide '[****!!****]'n'roll attitude' band for 25 years.

 

Yes, unfortunately I've heard Liam claim that the Sex Pistols are the best band of all-time. (It's on the Oasis Wibbling Rivalry disc)

 

Fortunately, Noel put him right.

[EFC_Callum]

that cos noel's the better singer.........

[Electric ~soul~]

Agree to disagree on that one, mate. See my comments on another post, but they don't make for good reading for Noely G.

[EFC_Callum]

we all have our different opinions......

[Electric ~soul~]

Indeed we do.

 

But mine are usually right.

Saw Oasis last Sunday at the MK Bowl, you could barely hear Noel on his tracks, but they were better than I thought they'd be. Didn't live up to Knebworth though.

I gotta disagree - i think alot of the so-called "alternative" bands of the 1980s/early 90s would cite the Sex Pistols, and more importantly punk, as influences . Making them want to pick up guitars, form bands and make music. I remember reading interviews by bands such as The Cult and The Jesus and Mary Chain, as well as many others, saying stuff like this. I don't think that the Killers, Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs would cite Led Zep as a major influence - but they clearly were/are on a lot of bands and sounds around.

[EFC_Callum]

yer and this might of happened

 

the killers liked

 

the cure who liked

 

sex pistols etc.

 

so the killers like the sex pistols or am talking crap?

[Electric ~soul~]

That's sort of what I was saying, though.

 

These alternative bands were influenced by 'punk' as a movement and an attitude, but I can't see that many bands would actually be influenced by the so-called 'music' that the Pistols made.

[EFC_Callum]

Nah 'our people' wouldnt like a band like sex pistols anyway now i dont think.

[Zagreus]

Maybe it's difficult to imagine if you don't rate the music? Not sure? The Sex Pistols compared to alot of the underground punk stuff is quite melodic - you've got now-a-days bands like Velvet Revolver doing a cover version of Bodies (from Nevernind the B*llocks). But on the whole I do agree it was the whole punk movement that had the most influence. All good for me! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[EFC_Callum]

fair enough!

Going back to the originall subject of this thread, these are my favourite tracks at the moment (bearing in mind these are influenced by the good weather!)In no particular order:

 

Hard to Beat-Hard-fi

Cloudbusting-Kate bush (don't laugh!)

Take it (the box)-Amy Winehouse (ditto!)

Cigarettes and Alcohol-Oasis

Mind Games- John Lennon

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Thank you Zag for backing me up, and I bet The Kiaser Cheifs are influenced by them. Whether you like the Pistols or not (and I'm with G.Angle there are loads of better punk bands about) as the biggest band of that era they are going to influence more people, like The Beatles would of influenced more people than The Stones but I bet plenty of people would cite The Stones better.

And PiL were better than the Pistols <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I see that bint in The Sun has finally clocked onto Hard-Fi saying "I saw this lot last night and I predict they are going to be massive", excuse me love they've already had a Top 10 single and album.
Of course some of us brought the debut single "cash machine" as we were already in the know <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Chubbhead EFM]

Is their album out already? Did it come out this week? Definitely wanna get it!

 

I hate being skint, I can't buy as many CDs as I used to which means I'm falling behind with my collection <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
