Blondie sound alright, but if you lived in Britain for as long as I have or you were born here, you'd want to throw yourself down a train after another karaoke rendition or pub play of one of their songs. Enough is enough, not even U2 get that much airplay in one's daily routine.

True, but not as bad as living in Greece if you have even the SLIGHTEST aversion to Iron Maiden.

greece is into Maiden?

You know my teenage to 20's roots already: Iron Maiden and house music. Sonic Youth were just for the three cats like me who demanded more. Iron Maiden (used to) kick ass, though.

you know, bono is a great backing singer! check lemon and that edge sang tune, the one where he's got feet rubbing on his face in the video yas.

They wrote some good songs, that's undeniable. They generally get stick because of the obvious irritating aura that Bono gives them.

Maiden are massive West Ham fans and I really wanted them to do the FA Cup song for a couple of seasons back. Pure proud they would've been.

Johnny Marr? Seriously? Wow. Makes me like him even more. Even though he's a bit of a cunt.

Haha! I'd love to see Morrisey trying to sing Iron Maiden songs.

U2 are a definite case of a band that get dumped on far too much these days. Talk about a decent band being shat on because of the unfortunate personality traits of a single band member.

Yeah, what she said. Total Hi-Tecs and bullet belts.

Codas age too! The Smiths's coda on The Queen Is Dead sounds like it was recorded by someone who works at one's local garage. It's great but the sound is a bit weak.

[demonrail666]

God bless the aging codas, that's what I say.

we need a backing singer thread

Sweet And Tender Hooligan = Iron Maiden. Technically, the chords are the same as a lot of Maiden songs. Very interesting, Diesel.

[demonrail666]

Better still, can you imagine if Kim Gordon played bass for Maiden?

[Rob Instigator]

sweet & tender Hooligan is my fave

[demonrail666]

I like the way Morrissey totally rips off Marr riffs on his solo stuff. Like the way he just photocopies the riff off of Paint a Vulgar Picture and slaps it on, I think it's Boxers.
