Your not a fan of Deep Purple, Yes & Pink Floyd  ???

That's a tough one, 'cause usually if I don't like a Band, it's because I don't like their music.  glassesslip

I've never cared too much for Ozzy Osbourne, but I love "Crazy Train." And "Iron Man," come to think of it, but I think that's by Black Sabbath (?).

But see the songs I selected, they are different from the usual sound those bands developed during the 70's. I'm not a fan of the general work of those groups, but I like some things from their early stuff.

Ozzy and Sabbath have made some interesting music. Interestingly, Ozzy has often stated that they were initially inspired by The Beatles and wanted to emulate their style, but somehow the darker imagery emerged as a path to success for them and they've been attached to it ever since. Good musicians though.

"Love" is taking it a bit far, but I've always really liked this song.... despite not caring for the artist (I know it's difficult but please try and disregard the subsequently exposed wickedness of both presenter and performer):

Never understood what anyone ever saw in this very ordinary bloke (The Boss? of what? a small car park somewhere maybe?) but I do rate this one:

Hate CCR, but love this song.

Hate Van Halen, but like this song a lot.

Like Mr.M, I will never understand the love for Springsteen, but I like this one song.

! No longer available


Finally, I hate the Eagles, but ironically, I love the entire 'Long Run' album, but nothing else.  (If you like an entire album, does that constitute in hating a band?  Hm)

I actually loved the videos you found, they were quite comical.  Don't believe that's the singer for Deep Purple, not sure what happening to this guy!

I suppose that's Rod Evans, the first singer of Deep Purple, before being replaced by Ian Gillan. I guess most fans of Deep Purple don't like the style of Evans.

I believe they're quite popular on this forum, but I never rated The Small Faces, apart from "Itchycoo Park"....


Ditto The Zombies I'm afraid, with "She's Not There" - sorry folks, they'll always be one hit non-wonders to me!!

The Zombies had three hits, at least in US: "She's Not There" (#2), "Tell Her No" (#6) and "Time Of The Season" (#3). This doesn't mean that you should love them, but they were not one-hit wonders.

I wouldn't say I love it. But I've  always thought Madonna's Borderline was a neat pop song. Didn't really have much interest in the rest of her work.

I like that song too Moog but she was pretty much a one-hit wonder for me. There were a lot of songs like that for me in the 80's. I didn't have my records with me at school because I went home every weekend where I listened to the stuff I reallyl liked!
