Guest Bogue Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The velours............well i never thought i would see this tune contending for the worst record i personaly still love it......... Andy. Yeah i agree, i think 'worst' is a bit over the top for it Andy. I was going more with the later twist of the thread, of tunes most people thought as great but didn't really do it for you Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Certainly not the worst, but 3 that I actually strongly don't like, or perhaps don't get are Rufus Lumley Stronger Than Me Cajun Hart Got to Find a way Keny Lynch Movin' Away Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest gordon russell Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 DJ Genesis to me it sounds like a dance record and if i had gone into a venue and heard it first time i would think is this is a Northern soul night. I know Muriel Day is mentioned but funny cause it was first played in Peterborough hope he won't mind me saying,but.....a john manship biggie i think ....sorry mate lol Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest gordon russell Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm back with a few more Now and again i have had to look long and hard as there a some records that to me are abysmal, yet to most of us seem to be real gems....but no matter how long i have mused i've always come out with the same view as when i started....they sound like sh**e to me HERE'S A FEW OF 'EM Rita & the Tiaras Brooks Brothers Sister lee B McNeir ..Youre gonna love etc....(musical equivalent of Tuinal) Pukie Hudson Syng Mcowan Doug Banks..Kept on dancing Try them for size....even after 30+ years there's not a glimmer of hope for any of 'em from me....thats what's so special we dont have to seek compliancy on our scene...or fit in, its about individuality and a love of "our" music.

Spacehopper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 cant believe some of the tunes being posted !.... ....maybe if it was whats YOUR worst tune on the scene at the moment .....i suppose its always gonna come down to personal taste but how can you post tunes such as shoes when hawaii five 0,papa ooh mowmow and all that bollox has been played 'back in the day'.... i suppose it makes it a longer more interesting and humourous thread...

Liamgp Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Poor song, badly sung and with mediocre musicianship at best - not so much garage as garbage, IMO. It's just not a good record, and wouldn't be whether it was "played on the scene" or not. Is this him being punished for recording 'Pretty Little Angel Eyes' and 'Under the Moon of Love' earlier on in the 60s thereby giving a number one to the horrific Showaddywaddy? Seriously, 'Is She In Your Town' sounds very much like him and his band trying to imitate Elvis circa '67 trying to imitate a blues group. Having said that, I rather like it...

It's not that "Because of You" is a bad record, more that it became popular as the token "new" record at soul nights and everybody got one because the arthritic and the p*ssheads could dance to it all the way through, so it's been played to death! Same with Ace Spectrum! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jazzyjas Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well I'm not exactly "ON THE SCENE" but I can't get my head around these: 1. King For a Day-Stewart Ames (Crap city: torture for me to hear this) 2. I'll Be All Alone-Barbara Redd (I don't hate this 45, but it has no business getting played on a Northern Soul or even a Belgium Popcorn night in my opinion) 3. Carbon Copy-Larry Trider (a superb Belgium Popcorn record, but a HORRIBLE Northern Soul record) And to Mr. Darcy-"Country Boy" by Henry C & the Ivy Leaguers is AWESOME! Dave Moore, Mark Holmes and Russ Vickers and I were driving around Pittsburgh two years ago listening to that song and they all pointed out that the chorus was to the tune of Elvis-Burning Love. What a great day we had digging in "the Burgh" - lots of laughs... -Jas and whoever said "Head and Shoulders", if you hear the instrumental track on its own, it'll give you a new found appreciation.

I was that mad i run across the dance floor up onto the stage ripped it off the decks and smashed it. I had a bad temper in my younger days. is it the worst on the scene or personnell taste? blue eyed soul a few years on seems to irk quite a few.the snake/lambrini advert will no doubt p...s some one off.as now my gripe is marc almond covering gloria jones...for worst record i. m. h. o. peanut duck gloria gee. but im sure theres lots out there that love it.....

Guest Beeks Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The thing is ladies and gents...looking through some of the ridiculous choices some of you have for supposed worst tunes... you are basing this not on the quality of a record but how many times it has been played out....the very fact a record has been hammered means that the majority of people love it...what you have to do is think back to the times when you first heard a track...not after it has been played a billion times...if you didnt like it then...thats when its a crap record in your eyes...but comments about 'Just Loving You' being a worst record etc is just daft...
