Regarding Motörhead’s 1916, as requested, I listened.

Bloody brilliant, very evocative.

One of many that Lemmy wrote. People just don't know.

A certain Mr Ozbourne has had a number of so called rock ballards scripted by Lemmy.

A bit dreary for my liking, but it shows a side to Lemmy i never knew existed.

Look a bit of a twat headbanging to it in the Swan like.

This used to be my favourite weary war tune -

Must be how your ears are wired up. Obviously the lyrics are great but as an overall listening experience I thought it was pants.

Still, if we all liked the same things...........  

No doubt Embankment and yourself would have a similar opinion about this floor burner

A very rare MG classic, seldom heard by the masses. Chooon.

..and I just knew a learned gentleman like yourself would appreciate it.

There's just no way I can stay sat down when I hear the first few notes of that one.

Mavin Gaye.

Now he is a song smith.

Whats going On ?

Is one of my favorite albums , yes its a generational thing . Every home had a copy.

I love my classic rock and metal music.

But my music collection is vast and varied.

Earliest album is by Robert Johnson. I enjoy blues ( very very old) In all its forms , even the old jug band and french influenced.

My Jazz collection ( usually played in winter time ) is a strange collection heavily influenced by Bix Beiderbecke .

Which brings me back to Marvin Gaye and the wonderfull era of Motown and Soul.

The female artists of this era are the most amazing vocalists of all time. Power and Passion. Hot , sexy Women who could hold a note and strut the stage.

The all guy groups could fill any dance floor or disco.

Talking of disco , i also respect The Bee Gees ( not the suger plum Saturday Night stuff). But the New York Mining story albums .Any  live album by them Rocks.

Must admit that i do not know much about Northern Soul , but it was raw and powerfull .

I count myself very lucky to have lived through such a vast musical era before Simon Cowell almost single handedly managed to sanitise the nations ears.

Blues - Soul - Jazz - Motown - Sixtys pop - 70's Top of the Pops variety- Glam Rock - Punk - The Manchester Bands - Classic Rock - Prog Rock ;Heavy Metal- And now Danish & Viking metal . All excellant.

( even a copy of Crocodile Shoes lurks in the loft).

But NOT one note of (C) rap exists in my house.

Rant over Bolty .

What ever music you love , play it often and listen to the words and move to the beat.

For me Stock Aitkin & Waterman were responsible for the start of the decline of the music scene. How the fuckity fuck anyone can listen to, let alone buy, their pish is beyond me.

Now I quite like a bit of Motown/Soul type music but this is so similar in every way to Heard it Through the Grapevine that you could almost sing either one over the backing track of the other.

His use of the lyric, “Honey, honey” in this song confirmed to me that MG’s name on a song will appeal to MG fans, not particularly music lovers.

Imo it's nothing at all like "Heard it thru the Grapevine" Totally different pace.

The MG song Bolty linked is a rare old song deemed not commercial enough to make it as a chart hit.

It was picked up by the Northern Soul DJ's years ago due to it's fast beat and is seen as an obscure classic.

Like someone said, Raw/Powerful/Emotive - i can imagine MG recording it in one passionate take.

Just brilliant imo, but if we all liked the same music the world would be a boring place + the dance floors would be too full.

Always difficult openly admitting to not liking a genre or particular musician that someone else is passionate about. I said in the music thread that I wasn’t big on The Smiths. Fuck me, I may as well have set fire to a kennel full of puppies!

I dunno, I think a lot of folk know he was a great and diverse songwriter - Mamma I'm coming home, see you on the other side etc Plus in interviews he always said he was a rock n roll writer not metal, like a lot if what gets lumped under that banner. Plus wrote arguably Hawkwinds most famous song. 

People just see Snaggletooth and think its just mindless noise. Philthy, Lemmy and Fast Eddie made pure, noisy rock n roll.

Given that The Smiths are shit and Morrisey is a prize wanker not sure how anyone would disagree.

The former.

Morrissey's music is fantastic, but he's a cunt of a man.

Morrissey was a big fan of Sparks in his teens and the lyrical genius on the band's first album "Kimono My House" inspired him.
