I know loads of my friends like them, just don't get what they bring to the table personally. Drumbeat, bloke that can't sing, shite lyrics and sometimes the semblance of a tune. Track one on that album is a shite poor OMD, Track 2 is piss poor Talking Heads, Track 3 is just dull, Track 4 is a piss poor impersonation of probably the worst period (of quite a few) of David Bowie. If Martin Hammett was still alive, he'D definitely want to sue over the drum sound on track 5... then comes Tonight, phat 80's synth bass line that goes nowhere all through the track, this one makes me turn the radio over most of the time especially when he does his Queen / Flash Gordon bit..... that's as much as I can take. Thank you for that. I've never knowingly heard a note by LCD Sound System, but just about everything you've compared them to comes under my 'detest' banner. I shall know to avoid them like the plague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted September 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2017 I went over my mum's house a couple of years ago and for some reason LCD and Hot Chip were both on something that was on the TV. Half way through a conversation she nodded at the telly and asked do you like these? I said, well, it's two different bands actually, but yes I like both of them. I thought so, she said. Why? I asked. Because they're absolute shit so I presumed you'd have to like them. Thanks mum. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Admiral Ackbar is calling out to me here, but against my better judgement and on the basis you promised to play nice, I'll give it a whirl..... I'm gonna give you 3 tracks and I've mercifully not picked the really long ones! If you get through these without wanting to smash up your stereo, search for 'Yeah (Crass version)'. It's a base driven, disco number that somehow turns into one of the great rave tunes half way through. Mental. Arguably their biggest 'hit' and always in the top 5 of any pretentious 'top songs of the 00's' list. 'All my Friends' 'Tribulations' from their debut And a creeping ballad about the sanitisation of NYC that ends in a wig out. 'New York I Love you, but you're bringing me down' Enjoy Edited September 3, 2017 by wazzap24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'All my Friends' That's decent. Heard it loads of times through radio play, but never taken enough interest to listen to who it is by. Wouldn't buy it, but it's alright. The other two, not so much.

TBH it's kind of impossible to try and pick songs you think might give a fair representation. I don't know why, but from your posts in the music thread/s, I thought they would be your cup of tea?

I know people who rave about them and James Murphy and that's great. but they've just never kind of clicked with me. And like Bicks said, Talking Heads, who I completely love, kind of did it much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
