Oh my word! My mother liked Michael Bolton, which meant I was subjected to that monstrosity, and many more like it way more than any human no matter what age ever should have been!
Ditto. And my mum only started listening to this overly-sentimental bilge once my dad had died. It's as if a switch flicked in her head and all of a sudden, Queen and even Phil Collins were declared haram and this took over.
Two years later she was dead as well. But as every pitch-black thundercloud has a silver lining... no more Michael Bolton!
Meanwhile, I've been serenading myself with this:
...more specifically, both albums from Iron Maiden's difficult Blaze Bayley era. There are some highlights... but quite a few deep pits as well. Then again, I could have said the same about Fear of the Dark...
I can raise the mother-factor a few notches I think :-)
I'm sure I've mentioned this before but my mother liked the Jennifer Rush song - The Power of Love. A lot. Scratch that, she was absolutely, utterly obsessed with it.
It reached a culmination when she figured out how she could record the single to a tape. She filled a C90, both sides, with it. And she played that tape all day, every day for about... well I dunno how long. Maybe it was a couple of weeks, 1 year, 5 years, maybe 20. All I know is that it was torture and I would jump off a cliff before listening to that song in its entirety again.
I hate that song with an equal passion to my mother loving it.
I feel that way about that bloody I Will Survive song, every time you go to a party there would be a drunk middle aged woman recently divorced that would want to hear it. I can't stand that song. I'd rather inject my eyes with acid :))

That could be fairly painful I agree but I think I can top it:
I'm every woman - can be very confusing at a party (I mean seriously confusing) - leave as soon as it starts is my advice or if there is any likelihood of it being played don't attend. This song should be put in Room 101.

That could be difficult to get through - I used as a child to think one of the lines sounded like: "Were'nt you the one who tried to hurt me with your bag"
But I think I might have encountered worse:
I'm Every Woman - leave as soon as it starts is my advice or if there is any likelihood of it being played don't attend. This song should be put in Room 101 ASAP.
Its partly the reason I never went to many parties growing up!!

That write up almost made me not want to listen to it. It’s literally like a review you’d find on Twitter. I did listen to it though, and it’s not terrible. But they’ve ripped off a lot of stuff. I’m sure I will now be accused of being a transphobe...

I can just about tolerate I'm every woman but you'd probably find me in the kitchen when it's on chatting to someone or even in the back garden getting some air, i'm not really good in big crowds.
I think he did a backflip onstage at an Iron maiden reunion gig, with a dole officer in the audience, and they were like nope! No more disability benefits for you sir! :))
The level of detail is just so good, everything is so in focus, background percussion and even fingers hitting strings can be heard are all very well defined. The overall sound is also just so much more 3D than my previous cartage (Audio Technica 440MLB) It's the best I've ever had.
Thank God some people still care about how their music sounds, i'm sick of kids running about listening to music through their phone speaker. It sounds rubbish through a mono tinny speaker. I know some people that have never even used a CD.

It's like going back to the 50's 60's. All that expense time and trouble spent in studios to make music with a great sonic content only for it to be played back on a tiny little phone speaker. in my youth all that great music was listened to in the main on horrible little Dansette or Fidelity record players with a crystal cartridge, a tone control that was nothing more than a top cut device through a three inch speaker all powered by a two watt amp.
That picture is illustrative of what I have because I was too lazy to take a photo. Mines silver but a 1200 mark 5, I also have a black SL1210 mark 2. The only difference being one is black with a selector for 11ov or 220v and the other is silver without this. I got them before they got super expensive. I hold them dear just like I do my ZX Spectrums. I do not DJ on them, but they are built like tanks and rock steady and kid proof. I also have a fancy undersprung turntable by Systemdesk built in the image of the Linn Sondek, but the two technicians knock spots of it on convenience and ruggedness and so the system desk remains unused. I can jump up and down next to the Technics and it does not skip a beat, do that to the Systemdek and there is so much bounce its likey to jump out of the groove and pop the speakers in the process.
I'm going to see if I can put together a recording of Josie by Steely Dan. When I listened to that yesterday I was surprised just how good it sounded.

Old vinyl can sound good if kept in good condition and played on high end equipment. My mum had an old Dansette that i inherited in the early 80's, till my brother ripped the arm of it out of spite!
It's only really since the CD that people started to appreciate the time and expense spent in those studios on those old albums as the remasters really opened up the sound.
Kids don't really bother how it sounds, as long as they can hear it whether i care about the mix and is it mono or stereo etc, mostly on old recordings as new ones tend to sound the same as they all use Pro Tools now for mixing/editing.

I always wanted a pair of 1210s, never did get them, but my best mate got a pair fairly cheap (relatively at least) in the late 90s and they were basically what I learned to mix on. I was quite spoilt by it really as I got a pair of SoundLab belt drives not long after and they just never felt as satisfying to mix on (obviously). :D
Fast forward 20-odd years, and I've sold most of my house/drum and bass vinyl and am now mixing on MIDI decks. The 18-year-old me would most definitely not approve. :))

A good mate of mine back home got a set of 1210’s in the late 90’s. He actually DJ’d Drum & Bass for a while, and he was actually pretty good. He was the drummer in the punk band I was in before that. Now he plays bass guitar, and was in an indie band for a while.

There must be something about drum and bass DJs (although I played house more than drum and bass, but still play a fair bit of both) becoming bass players... :D
Bassists are still the under appreciated member of any band. Without a bass you have basically string ego, and percussion ego fighting for attention.....The bass player probably has more talent, and doesn’t give a shit

Didn't he claim benefit for a bad back or something then was found to be singing in a band? What an idiot :))
