Pete S Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Bobby Kline - Say something nice to me. Absolute rubbish with no redeeming features whatsoever.

Garethx Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Both George Hobson and Bobby Kline are pretty good records. Maybe we're all a bit sick of hearing BK, but for the fiirst few years it sounded really monumental. George Hobson is a class record and I make no apologies for liking it: it's one which would have created a buzz for soul fans at any time in the scene's history: by any stretch of the imagination it's preferable to Paula Parfitt (which in itself is a fairly competent pop record, though nothing more than that).

Guest Dodger Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 TOP THREAD!!! Ascots - Few Feet From The Gutter. Belongs in the gutter, absolute shite. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Can I defend The Ascots as well? Talmadge Armstrong is a good artist, with a credible and unified back catalogue of pretty individual-sounding soul music. "Just A Few Feet From The Gutter" is probably due a rest, but I recall being blown away when I first heard it.

Little-stevie Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) We all have different ears from early RnB,oldies,newies,Crossover etc etc tec..Bobby Cline is magic for me and many others,plus the Ascots is a class track...Real feel good track...I can't stand that Dance Dance Dance track,it makes me feel ill but others love it...This post will just go on and on and solve nowt..Live and let live...James T and Mr Smith on this thread,that should keep it interesting for a while..

Guest Baz Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 George Hobson = classy, soulful, proper soul music Paula Parot = weak! poppy! second rate dross, that should be melted down So if im a snob for liking George Hobson so be it, God forbid we go into another POP era like back in the cathedral!

Pete S Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 George Hobson = classy, soulful, proper soul music No it's not, it's dull uninspiring crap. I only mentioned Paula Parfitt because it was the first name that came into my head when I was trying to think of a British record that was quite good. But yeah, I'd take Paula Parfitt over that turd any day, and yes, you are a soul snob. Because you like George Hobson, a record so bad it should be ashamed to exist.
