Title: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 11:35:29 AM This is shamelessly nicked from social media
Ten groups and artists I have seen nine live, one is the odd one out 1 Billy Joel 2 U2 3 Snow Patrol 4 Bruce Springsteen 5 Fleetwood Mac 6 Muse 7 Bon Jovi 8 Nickelback 9 Rolling Stones 10 Keane Whoever gets the odd one out then lists ten of their own, seen nine, not seen one and so on Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: tikay on April 27, 2017, 12:02:22 PM You can't possibly have seen the pile of poo that is Bon Jovi. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: tikay on April 27, 2017, 12:03:06 PM Then again, the same could be said of Bruce Springsteen. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:04:51 PM You can't possibly have seen the pile of poo that is Bon Jovi. I was married to a soft-metal head. I think i stayed awake during six bon jovi concerts. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: KarmaDope on April 27, 2017, 12:05:20 PM Snow Patrol.
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:08:42 PM Snow Patrol. incorrect. i'll sing it one last time for you (if you are not careful) Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Longines on April 27, 2017, 12:09:30 PM Billy Joel?
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:11:12 PM Billy Joel? incorrect. wembley stadium mid 1980s. great songwriter, great concert. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Graham C on April 27, 2017, 12:18:20 PM Muse

Haha..be hilarious if you had had to go and see Nickelback to Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:23:19 PM You can't possibly have seen the pile of poo that is Bon Jovi.

Haha..be hilarious if you had had to go and see Nickelback to I did, they supported Bon Jovi at the milton keynes bowl Absolute FMEL moment in the dying embers of a failing marriage. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:24:09 PM Muse Saw them. very good show. I was feelin' good. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on April 27, 2017, 12:25:28 PM Then again, the same could be said of Bruce Springsteen. going to put you all out interminable misery never seen Springsteen someone else have a go please..... Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: nirvana on April 27, 2017, 12:33:48 PM Been dying to have a go at this:
Dead Kennedys The damned Siouxsie and the Banshees The Clash Buzzcocks Adam and the Ants The Jam Ramones Stranglers Stiff Little Fingers Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Longines on April 27, 2017, 12:41:32 PM Adam and the Ants pretty out of line with the rest....
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Knottikay on April 27, 2017, 12:50:02 PM The Jam Prob the only band on that list who you maybe didnt class as 'punk'. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: nirvana on April 27, 2017, 12:55:06 PM Adam and the Ants pretty out of line with the rest.... Big London punk following in the late 70s, early 80s. Probably saw them 3-4 times. Loved em. Even secretly when they became teeny idols Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on April 27, 2017, 12:57:51 PM Ramones obv
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: nirvana on April 27, 2017, 12:58:58 PM The Jam Prob the only band on that list who you maybe didnt class as 'punk'. Interestingly..my very first gig. 1978 think. Swindon Brunel rooms before I left the west country to become a mockney Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Ironside on April 27, 2017, 01:07:47 PM stranglers of course
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 03, 2017, 02:20:45 PM Wost. Game. Ever.
Nirvana sleeping for a week, sure it was Ramones. So move on. Tears for fears Pulp Oasis Stone Roses Jill Scott Spearhead Radiohead Gil Scott Heron Roots Manuva Christina Aguilera Orbital Think that is 11, but no matter. Promise to check more than once a week. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Longines on May 03, 2017, 02:29:09 PM Christina Aguilera
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 03, 2017, 02:41:00 PM Christina Aguilera Nah, had to go with my missus. She can belt out a tune though, Black eyed peas in support too! Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: TightEnd on May 03, 2017, 02:43:59 PM i will guess spearhead, as i have no idea who they are
Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 03, 2017, 03:05:10 PM i will guess spearhead, as i have no idea who they are Seen Michael Franti a fair bit in his various guises. He started in disposable heroes of hiphoprisy. Might be wrong, but think you'll recognise this. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky4uYnsF3kc I saw the beatnigs supporting Billy Bragg, though I was more interested in seeing Michelle Shocked. Fuck me, this is 20 years old YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj83iqbTfYc Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: MintTrav on May 03, 2017, 09:54:14 PM That list! It has to be one of the ones people would most expect you are likely to have seen - Pulp or Oasis.
I'll opt for Oasis. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: nirvana on May 03, 2017, 10:01:50 PM Siousie actually Doobs, don't know why I never did - mind you, probs like them more now than I did then.
In yr list I can't see you wanting to see the anthemic simple rock of Oasis so Ima go for them too. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 03, 2017, 10:20:48 PM Siousie actually Doobs, don't know why I never did - mind you, probs like them more now than I did then. In yr list I can't see you wanting to see the anthemic simple rock of Oasis so Ima go for them too. Never saw Siouxsie and the Banshees either. Was a few years too young to go and see punk shows. Was old enough to draw embarassing shit on my school bag though. Had that first Adam and the Ants album too. No idea what happened to it. I am not sure many punk bands aged well, still love Spellbound though. I was in Manchester when they broke through. Couldn't miss them. Saw them at about 2pm first year at Glastonbury. Thought they were fantastic. Saw them headlining the year after, thought they were awful. Fame had already gone to their heads. The first sentence probably makews it easy enouygh to cross another off the list. Pulp is wrong too. Seen them more than the others on the list bar one. Love Jarvis.

On your list would be really hard pressed between Stone Roses (who you obviously haven't seen) and Pulp as my favs. I don't get past 2 albums with many bands - loved Bends and Pablo Honey but never got to the later stuff that my boy absolutely loves, likewise with Oasis - loved the first 2, barely listened to anything else Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 03, 2017, 10:56:50 PM Siousie actually Doobs, don't know why I never did - mind you, probs like them more now than I did then.

The first two Oasis albums were glorious at the time. I bought the third, but can't say I liked it then or now. I have all the Pulp albums bar the first one. Title: Re: Odd one out Post by: Doobs on May 05, 2017, 12:52:26 PM Confirmed, rubbish game ;)
Radiohead. Went to the two Glastonburys before they performed their classic set. Got invited again this year. Thought I was too old for that, and they appear again. To be fair, I was pretty shocked at how many bands I didn't know this time. Thought there would be a better sprinkling for the aged. You should try harder on the later Radiohead albums Nirvana. They definitely grow better with time. |
