sammynb 3355 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Not a good week for influential bass players, Algy Ward, who was the bass player with the Saints for their second and third albums and was also in the Damned for Machine Etiquette, RIP Algy, you and Chris Bailey can show them who the real Saints are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35077 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 She wasn’t really my cup of tea like. Nutbush City Limits is about the only thing I like and she disassociated herself from that because it was with Ike. Which is obviously fair enough. Most of it is proper turgid 80s soul pop or cheesy power ballads. Not that either of those things can’t be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33166 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 When I think of Tina Turner the thing that comes to mind is 80's and 90's DJs, usually on Top of the Pops, inserting an almost contractual 'Still looks great.' either just before or after her singing and as a teen you'd scratch your head a bit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutbush City Limits and River Deep Mountain High were good. Had a bit of a soft spot for 'Simply The Best' given I still associate it with pre-match warm up at SJP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21606 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) My favouite Tina Turner moment is the scene from the Office when Brent uses "SImply the best" as a prop. Probably amongst the most cringeworthy scenes in TV history. I cannot imagine ever listening to her music for pleasure. Each to their own though @Gemmill. RIP Tina.

Gemmill 44851 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The other day I had Radio 2 on while I was making tea. They had the bloke from Creedence on and they played his version of Status Quo's Rocking All Over The World. As clear as you like, the thought came to me: this is Renton's favourite song of all time, and this is his favourite ever version of it. Make of that what you will, but it's an undeniable fact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quo are fucking DREADFUL - all lineups. In fact the original lineup are the worst cos they're responsible for everything that followed. Creedence have some good tunes in a cheesy southern rock kind of way. You've never heard anything like that cover version though. BRUTAL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be in your element today, wife at work, curtains closed, dancing to Tina in your under crackers with your Roomba, broom handle, and full length mirror, 🎵 I'm simply the best 🎵, with your poor pooch looking nervously at the door exit. Yep, ice cool. 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
