    Bit off topic discussion on a Sunday!

    What would be the following for yourselves!

    Favourite song to date - Third Finger Left Hand - Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

    Most hated song to date (preferably with some back story for clarification!) - Sideshow by Mr Big. Just hated it everytime I heard it

    Best artist seen live (if any) - Well, I was at Rolling Stones Free Concert at Hyde Park in 1969 so its got to be them. Joke is I did not literally see them, we just lay on the grass at the back just listening to the sounds

    Guilty Pleasure (see who the sad twats are!) - Well I like Judith Durham (seekers), great voice. I like her rendition of 'My Happiness' with Max Bygraves

    Im probably the saddest twat on here...............

    I’ll keep this recent as I have a wife and varied musical taste that spans as far back as the twenties (so I’ll leave my guilty pleasure till last)
    Anything by the Teskey Brothers at the minute and definitely a band I’d like to see live.
    Recent excellent live artists have been Joanne Shaw Taylor and Larkin Poe
    Hated song... nothing really music, even **** doesn’t upset me enough to hate it
    Guilty pleasure , Jolson.

    Cant get past the first hurdle, here are a few songs that hit me early doors, Rock Island Line Hound Dog, Peggy Sue, Tutti Frutti, Whole Lotta Shaking Going On, Run Around Sue, Be Bop A Lula, Sweet Little Sixteen, Only You, Bye Bye Love, then like a lot of my contemporaries, Kieth Richard, John Lenon ( hows that for name dropping) I started listening to where these songs originally came from, and from then till now it starts getting complicated, but the best band I have seen live, was maybe Led Zep at the Mayfair, my best experience was meeting Don Van Vliet and discussing Newcatle Brown in the City Tavern before his show next door, he came in with the rest of the band, plus John Peel, Richard Neville and Jermaine Greer, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    Totally agree with this. I think I have posted this before but I have the distinction of being the 1st person barred out of HMV in Sunderland. I was at the counter buying something and this lad walked up to buy a record. Cannot remember what it was now but akin to the birdie song or some sh*te like that. I said if you buy that I will hit you. I was very passionate about music in them days. He bought it. I hit him. Banned.

    Obviously older and wiser he may well have been buying it for a present or whatever but that didnt enter my brain pattern at the time.

    Will post later. Good OP but so many choices.

    See a lot of hate for "Rap music" such as Eminem - I am a musician and singer and I love Eminem! Lyrically he is superb IMO!! Amazing Got to be one of my favourite threads this!

    I think Music is very much like food in as much what you like or dislike is very much subjective so for me it doesn't matter if you're a chef or musician if someone doesn't like it..end of story. I doubt very much wether John Lennon will feature in peoples top song of all time....it just does it for me....as does EVERYTHING done by Pink Floyd
