How come...

i'm never into music when its popular? :lol:

When I was in my school days I was listening every night before I went to sleep to the only Dire Straights tape I knew of. But my pals at school never seemed to have heard of them. :???:

    Every time I hear Walk of Life by them it makes my skin crawl, I hate that song with a vengeance. It was made even worse when it was out, as I had a friend with an electric keyboard, and that was the only tune he could play on it...

    ....so that's all he played on it...

    ....Ergh!
    Every night is curry night!

    100% agree. in fact I honestly came close to having full on mental spazout when my boss of the Chinese takeaway I used to work in decided to this track on one night when I was washing up. it was at the end of a really long busy shift and hearing that stupid "duh duh deerrr derrrrr, dee-dee-dee- daa daa duuuh duuuh" nearly made me flip

    'walk of life' the riff is quite annoying, the singing is ok though. If someone kept playing it, it would annoy me.

    thank the dx7 synth for a lot of digital synthy sounds, use in a silly amount of 80's tunes.. I have one (well NI fm8 ) but it's not something I use loads, compared to say moog's etc.. which just had a far fuller sound.

    when you get a synth from the 80's you get to know what tunes the default sounds were used in various tunes :)

    the other classic being obherheim synth.. as used in Jump , 99 red balloons and axel f

    Try Easy Listening. lol

    Try LW - Crocketts theme

    Try SW !!!


    I really think you guys are complaining about very little here.

    The Jan Hammer theme is really quite good, if it hadn't been part of a TV series and therefore almost subliminal with a whole load of associations, I think it would still hold up very well. I have listened to it about five times


    I was never very into the Tv show though (once the intro was over) never knew what was happening, unlike A-team and Airwolf, where I could miss an episode and not lose much of the plot.

    At about 1:40 in that episode how did they manage to pull up next to themselves? That sort of thing always threw me, if I hadn't been watching for a couple of minutes.

    Before I got into home computers I had for a few months a Casiotone keyboard that would have been perfect for learning with. :smile:


    I seem to recall also I wanted a Fairlight around that age, thanks to Kate Bush, or was it a double bass? :oops:

    Are there any other played to death pieces of music that are almost ready for re-susitation?
