@tRONd Hmmā¦ Be patient with me I grew up listening to German radio mainstream pop. So much to catch up on and to learn. But nothing better than discovering new music.I will definitely check
Speaking of which @roger_holland , mein Heiderƶslein You advertised them so well that I thought: Oh, Dutch death metal YouTube Premium has much of their stuff. So I listened to a random album while I was doing my shopping. And it turns out to be Dutch punk - not bad at all btw Still I was left wondering, what does Rogier mean? Then I put on"Noisy Fairytales" while cookingā¦ How on earth did I not know the song about Klaus? That must have been a thing in Germany as well
@Eddie_09 Hmmmā¦ I guess they must have been eating something else than just cranberries when they came up that first idea Love it. Sounds so much more creative than just Cranberries. āā¦ We need a band nameā¦ Hey, letās be fruits. Okay. The Apples. ā¦- no there is Appleā¦ Okay thenā¦ The Bananas ā¦ - Doesnāt work, there is Bananarama. ā¦ The Strawberries?.. No, all those implications. ā¦ Well, okay, letās go with the Cranberries thenā
@Majik@judi@TheMadman_tobyjenner@BurnsRhythm@ontime1969@alexkellyart Thank you so much for commenting, I will check out those bands ā¦ Since - remember - the requirement was good music as well. Which is why @Majik I deliberately decided to pass on Micheal Learns To Rock. I think, I remember one of their songsā¦ And: noā¦ Just no
Some of those band names made laugh with joy - especially Steeleye Span in the context of your post @TheMadman_tobyjenner
So, here it goesā¦ Finally. I was wondering more or less the whole night, what is so funny about Steely Dan. Couldnāt figure it out by myself. Went to their Wikipidea page. Nothing about the name. Well ā¦ Continued googling Ahā¦ āNaked Lunchā, one of the classics, I have never read Now, it all makes sense. Good choiceā¦ Well, if it fits the music
Hi David, the name UB40 was the dole card serial number and designation. As I understand, all the members were on the dole, all broke and in need of some money, which is when and why the band began.
Thanks Mal. This I knew, hence the attempted wit at comment about being employed as musicians. I guess it is a good idea to share the derivation, either factual or apocraphyl (thinking 10CC)
I am not well versed in reggae and donāt really know what dub is. To be fair probably based on a couple of specific over played hits, Red Red Wine comes to mind. I didnāt know Food For Thought and do like One In Ten but wouldnāt have attributed it to UB40.
Now I think about it, a pretty daft comment to make.
About all the reggae I have listened to on a regular basis is Bob Marley, the Legend compilation and a few documentaries about him.
Oh wellā¦ After enduring the torture of 53 songs (skipped to the next one quite often quite earlyā¦) in the āEssential 10CCā, I have to admit that you are entirely correct. itās more than oneā¦
