Popular Post MrsWoodsrules Posted August 29, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2011 Okay folks, we've all done it & it happened to me yesterday, iPad is on shuffle & a true shocker comes on. For me it was yesterday I had the misfortune to listen to DEAN BARLOW THIRD WINDOW FROM THE RIGHT, this is a dire record & it kills me how it ever got plays. Also another track that it utter drivel, CHARADES, YOU'D BETTER BELIVE IT, this is astoundingly bad. Full of U.S patriotic nonsense, starting with a daft bugle call, think this is worse than Dean Barlow & that's saying something. Just a bit of fun, don't get offended if you like, or even worse actually dish out hard earned money for any of these. Okay folks, we've all got our pet hates, what other dross kills you when it comes on the turntable? 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest miff Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Major Lance - Aint no soul left in these old shoes - Okeh. I carnt stand it, sure it only got played cos of the title, the Majors voice is terrable on this track, and the lyrics are awfull, I know am a minority on this one as am sure its up there in a lot of folks top sounds, but for me it has nothing So many bettter tracks by the man then to play this derge, IMHO ducking for cover now Edited August 29, 2011 by miff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Parker Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I dislike the manufactured stuff: solid ground, hip teens, etc. dancers love em, but i cant get my head around em! not many i dont like, i think its more to do with a tune being overplayed ie: I walked away ....... gets right on my nerves Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Premium Stuff Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) That record by Wombat - I'm Gettin' On Life (Gemni) What on earth is that all about It has a really peculiar and awkward rhythm, plus a really weird hillbilly, come country & western kind of sound How anyone could accept this as a soul record, let alone a northern soul record beggars belief I might let someone off for having danced to it when just a teenager in an amphetamine-fuelled state. As for listening to it though - anyone who rates this as a soul or northern soul record 1) has cloth ears and 2) should have their head tested It's one of the worst middle-of-the-road novelty records of all time So endeth the sermon Cheers Richard Edited August 29, 2011 by Premium Stuff 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm to embarrassed to state what I paid for it though lol. I used to do a Fanzine called 'Northern News' and we had a section called 'Some Things Are Better Left Unplayed' (Ketty Lester referance) - Great Thread / Great Fun....No doubt it'll soon turn nasty though... I absolutely HATE The Five Royals - Catch a Teardrop...The list could go on lol All the best, Len. Edited August 29, 2011 by LEN Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cunnie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Most of the above are pretty bad apart from Lou Pride & the Magnetics IMO. Tune that really gets my back up is the awful Love Don't Go Through No Changes In Me - Sister Sledge. Now't wrong with Sister Sledge as quite like them but just hate that bloody record. Strange thing is though whenever I hear it I find myself falling into it & singing away so if anyone ever see's me doing this again just give me a big slap cos I deserve it.
