I'll support Sweet Caroline and take it through

I'll save the other three..otherwise I might be wasting them if they don't get a third support

..I've come to the conclusion I look at these threads differently to most people...the songs/artists as they were at the time are different to what have become more 'classics' in retrospect...Boney M..Slade..?...just no..I mean no at the time

..and I've just been looking at it..70's and 80's...no Hot Chocolate..It Started With a Kiss...I Believe in Miracles...You Sexy Thing...I can't believe I forgot those

..yeah I am overthinking this...some of these artists and songs were so naff at the time

Shaun 09-04-2012 03:50 AM

Slade - How Does it Feel is one of my favourite songs :nono: it's certainly not naff.

..yeah but it was naff at the time Shaun..Slade just weren't credible at all..and I guess I've been looking at it from what I liked then..songs do become classics over time...and you appreciate them more...take Abba..I think there songs were amazing..now...but I hated them back then..I'd probably compare them to One Direction..not exactly but you know what I mean

..are we having our first tiff Shaun..I'm crying in my cornflakes here

Kate! 09-04-2012 04:41 AM

I'll support Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way.

Shaun 09-04-2012 05:53 AM

No we're cool Ammi :tongue: I think maybe it's because of their image... I suppose it wasn't cool to be an ABBA fan or a Slade fan, like, say... it's not cool to be an ELO or, to use a modern example, Dido fan. But all of them have great songs so never mind :spin2:

-adds kate's vote-

Ammi 09-04-2012 06:12 AM

..I also wish I'd put some Neil Young in..Heart of Gold
..but I don't think it would have got through..like Cat..they haven't stood the test of time...I'm flogging a dead horse..two horses :bawling:

Shaun 09-04-2012 06:30 AM

I don't think it's that, I just think there aren't many people on here who're fans :( I love Neil Young, but I have no more supports :laugh:
