Yeah, i'm not into Nile Rodgers, although the influence he had, espexially on dance music is massive. Suppose it could be said of Elvis as well, although i reckon that he pinched his act from those who would never have got a look in during that period. Tom Jones, now there's a grade A Bastard.

Elvis had a massive, massive influence on R&R and blues singers/musicians.With you on Elvis. I can sometime be swayed by the people i know that love Elvis. Usually white, thick as shit, a bit racist, and boring pissheads to boot. Maybe i'm missing something and i need a good history lesson on certain genres of music, but Elvis songs seem to bring out the emotive expression of those who can't seem to express themselves when sober, and they seem to get it tragically wrong. I'm here to be educated though
Some of the people who don't like him are usually those who were around and "active" when he was and they were into something else.
Its a bit like Nile Rodgers, who I don't happen to like [or do I?], having a big influence on R&B and other types of music since the 70's.
Wasn't particularly into that disco stuff at the time, though I do appreciate it has it's place in the grand scheme of things.
jump around like a hick with a straw of hay between your teeth,,,no thanks, prefer geno
Yeah, fair shout. I don't like Elvis songs and i'm not really that keen on the people that i know who adore him. I wasn't about when he was doing his thing (i was very young) although i have to concede when it comes to influence, although i'm pretty sure that the people who influenced Elvis probably didn't get much of a look in.
The only thing you said was that it's repetitive. So that.

You are right.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart gets very little credit.
That ‘Working Man’ song by David Alexander, reminds me of Sunday afternoons over The Shed, old pissheads who’d never done a tap since they were a milk monitor singing their heads off to it
Oh okay thanks for clearing that up. I did think it a bit odd that you would say my opinion was wrong, there are couple on here who might have though.
Regarding the fact that you disagree with my saying that La Freek (I think that's what its called) is repetitive, I am of the opinion that it is fact you who are wrong.
Some decent string arrangements in the song but the same riff in every verse and chorus of the song and no key change, that's what I'm referring to when I say repetitive.
Zzzzz

Didn't he play full back for west germany-Espana 82?
James Blunt You’re Beautiful.
Yeah, that song should end this thread. What a warbling crock of shit that was.
Nah, you're thinking his great great great great great great great great.... great great grandson, Gerhard.
WAM didn't have time for football, he was too busy learning instruments, writing and performing.
Only 35 when he died.
He sounds like a bit of a show off.
That Whitney Houston was a screecher, she crucified Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ and her rendition of ‘Higher Love’ aaarghhhh!!!!!!!
Absolutely!
Ialso hate most of the stuff they call "R&B" these days.
It certainly isn't Rhythm and Blues!
Country and Western
It’s all shite IMO
Mull of Kintyre. A complete dirge.
Jeez, some guy used to sing a few of those David Alexander songs in our local about 15 years ago on the Saturday night karaoke, properly depressing stuffThat ‘Working Man’ song by David Alexander, reminds me of Sunday afternoons over The Shed, old pissheads who’d never done a tap since they were a milk monitor singing their heads off to it
