Daft Punk drive me crazy :shock:
"I'm digging your scene"
One of the worst pop songs ever written, at a time of really bad songs being written. The Blow Monkeys really were utter bilge, along with a lot of what happened post mid 80's musically.
Daft Punk. Hmmmmm. I have no idea what they actually try to achieve with their music, but you cant help but like a lot of it.
Are you a conserative ?, I ask because most of Dr Roberts songs written with the blow Monkeys were Anti Thatcher tunes :wink:
A lot of what was written in the 80's was anti Thatcher to be fair!
And for the record, I dont label myself with any political slant at all. Both sides have proven they can **** the country up good and proper. I do however desperately want to see a new party take over from the idiots in power at present. I cannot stand the sight of Gordon Brown.
Anyway, Blow Monkeys....Tripe..Tripe.
Alphaville - now thats class 80's music )
Saw the Blow monkeys at Wembley , well nearly it was supposed to start at 16.00hrs got there at 16.15 just as I walked into the stadium I heard "Thank you very much you have been a great audience" they had started the show bloody early, I then had to sit through Feral Bloody Sharkey, then ELO who were great and then top of the bill an hour late was Rod Stewart who had put the original Faces back together including the late Ronnie Lane who Ronnie Wood carried on and then dropped on stage !!!
So I never got to see the Blow Monkeys, although Tony might say it was a blessing in disguise, but it was a good night.... :wink:
