Green Magnesium, dear, I hate to reiterate what everyone else has said but Goldfrapp is that kind of music that has no substantial listening value. In other words, it's horse shit.

There's plenty of amazing music in the world that lacks "substantial listening value." Isn't that what the best pop music is supposed to be?

I like Goldfrapp, but honestly I'd rather listen to Eurythmics for that sort of thing.

Amazing music without substantial listening value is the exception to the rule. Goldfrapp doesn't do anything 'amazing'. They make boring music that's best attempt isn't worth listening to.

shiftyprophet can troll me anytime!

And Hayden, I cannot take serious the opinion of a Joanna Newsom fan. I just can't :o

Well, first of all, do you have a vagina?

If yes, great. If no, can you cook really well?

No to both, unfortunately :(

No trolling for you.

Is that a real book? I'd love to read it. (Not just cuz you recommended it either.)

I'm sorry, Joanna's classically trained harpings aren't cutesy and mediocre enough for you?

Frappuccino and Goldschlager, right?

Sometimes I think you are like the girl that has a particular crush but can't help but treat that crush like shit.

Hegel, not flowslow.

Her harp-playing is gorgeous... her vox are just a little too cutesy for my comfort. Of course, my angel, I was only bustin' ya to begin with.

I just don't understand what you mean by "no substantial listening value". Is it supposed to move me to write a novel or save the rainforest?... 'cuz no music has been able to motivate my lazy ass into doing something quite so substantial.

I've simply been on a bender lately, as I love Goldfrapp's voice and Gregory's arrangements. Her breezy pop melodies are some of the prettiest I've heard in a long time. I just can't understand how a song like 'Cologne Cerrone Houdini' could be interpreted as horse-shit.

Goldfrapp are Peaches for people with heavy mortgage commitments.

Goldfrapp? Really?

Goldfrapp are music for people whose ears have the inability to discern 'good' from 'FUCK ME, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO OFFEND THEE, O LORD?'.

Let's all agree that many people don't care much about Goldfrapp, shall we?

what does the name mean?

Best thread ever.

Why make that comparison, when the two acts sound nothing alike? Peaches is goofy fun, but I would never have drawn a connection between the two. It's like comparing Goldfrapp to Eminem or something.


Goldfrapp is simply the surname of the band's singer... I don't know what (if anything) it means beyond that.

queefs=gold

For what it's worth, in a world where there must be pop, I like em, hard to fuck with good pop. Although Lady Gaga seems to be ruling all at the minute, having taken any interesting good pop from the last five years, kicked it up to a hyper-real eleven and left everyone else looking silly..

perhaps this whole thread belongs on the "unpopular musical opinions" thread?
