Barking Spiders Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Is it churlish of me to have a pathological dislike of Madness? Gimme the gloom of early Cure and Joy Division any day over the chirpy and chipper not quite cockernees. I'm struggling hard to find one Madness song that doesn't make me want to pierce my eardrums with kebab skewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I'm not an ABBA fan ( other than admiring their professionalism). But the one track that' does move me is 'Thank You For the Music' My Mum ( who was a splendid old luvvie) requested it to be played at her funeral. 'I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair'... Not a dry eye in the house. 💖 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer live music performances and watching musicians at work. I can see where you're coming from. I think it gives you some kind of insight into the minds of the musos.

He did for live shows, but I believe on most of their studio stuff they used various session bass players. Not a big Doors fan myself, but my older brother was into them for a while so I got to hear quite a lot of their albums. Years later their influence on The Stranglers was apparent too.
