It's OK, but I still prefer guitars as an accompaniment to singers. To each his owne.As I said I have nothing against vocals,its just that I prefer instrumental,especially drums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Never thought I would see the day when Michael Mooney would be nodding in sage agreement with Sam Fox. To be fair, she does seem to have got the measure of The Smiths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2021 Ironically, Panic is about the state of modern pop music at the time and how it says nothing to it's audience. The DJs in question were not the likes of Peel but they were the daytime R1 Dj's like Steve Wright who the Smiths actually had a T-Shirt produced of with a noose around his neck. Sam Fox was definitely the music the song was about. With regards to The Fall review, this is what MES thought about it, from his book Renegade: "That's as good as it got inside Smash Hits: Page 3 birds airing their views. I think it's great, actually -- better than being harangued by Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 My eldest daughter(7) has been learning about the 60s at school and luckily enough her teacher thinks music is a massive part of that decade. She’s came home with lots of information on The Beatles in particular along with The Beach Boys and The Animals . Pretty cool teacher , eh. They have been listening to LPS whilst in class of said bands among one or two others . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking forward to watching this for months! The irony that it's on Apple TV. Back when Apple Computers started, Apple Records (i.e. EMI) tried to sue them for use of the tradename. The judge threw the case out on the basis that nobody could ever confuse the two, as computers clearly had nothing to do with music. There was a bit of muttering along the lines of "OK, as long as you promise to stay off our turf", but that seems to have been forgotten along the way. However, as I avoid Apple (computer company) products like the plague, I will have to wait and hope it eventually crops up on some channel I can access.

It wasn’t forgotten. Quite the opposite. When Apple started including music software they got sued again, and had to pay up, then when they started the iTunes store, it all kicked off again. I think eventually Apple computer won that one and they started selling Beatles music on iTunes and Apple (music) were happy cus they got new revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
