blessingx Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Awkward listening this morning. Continuing the choices by cover hit The Ultimate Gary Glitters. I knew Rock & Roll (Part 2), but little else on it (which is pretty bad). Have ton of holes in my musical history, but wondered why he had multiple greatest hits collections so jumped on Wikipedia. Man, that's a downfall and an awful lot of people hurt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yep. Gary Glitter follows Jimmy Savile in infamy. So many children hurt, and way too long for this to come to light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) So, I was watching an Ed Sheeran cover by Scary Pockets, and I thought to myself, what am I missing with Ed? I just don't get it for some reason. I have heard his music all around and many covers. So, I sat down and listened to and hour plus of his songs. They were recorded well, the melodies were nice, the lyrics were mostly sentimental but well crafted. But still nothing caught me, nothing to say, 'Ah, now I get it'. And in the end maybe that is it, it is nice, but not for me. 🤷♂️ etc... Edited March 15, 2022 by mikeymad 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 ^ maybe it's just that he's a Ginger? "‘People never knew what a ginger was in America,’ singer said" "Ed Sheeran says South Park joke about ginger hair ‘f***ing ruined’ his life" https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/ed-sheeran-south-park-b1985485.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Good example: Take an Ed song and turn it over to Pomplamoose, and they make an incredible musical number out of it.

MoonShine Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I can't think of anything else that so successfully escapes the "contempt of familiarity", or captures so successfully both the disenchantment and enchantment of an era. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
