Odessey & Oracle is undoubtedly a work of pure pop genius, but nothing else they did even comes close.

Totaly agree The Zombies Odessey and Oracle is a master peace who critics compare to The Beatles Sargents Pepper and Beach Boys Pet Sounds Imight be a bit biase being a massive Colin Blunstone fan , but when Iwent to see The Zombies Odessey and Oracle reunion tour a few years ago it was like a whos who of rock with the likes of Paul Macartney Robert Plant Paul Weller there .Ispoke to Paul Weller and he said that The Zombies and there music were the biggest influence on him and raved about Colin Blunstone being one of the greatest singers this country has ever produced and that there new album at the time As Far As I Can See was top class .I know that they did not record for a while , but what they are now producing albums that most of the critics love .

Parliament?

Guy Fawkes wasn't a fan.

As a single She's Not There takes some beating,by anybody's standards.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I like all sorts of music, from Sting to Chris Rea.

Ha!:winking:

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I ****ing HATE Queen. Biggest overrated pile of ***** ever.

They were good live.Don't own any Queen records though,so would tend to agree with you.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Anyone dislike The Beach Boys out there?

 

[Uncle Leo]

What about Queen, surely no one could not like all of their stuff? Such a wide range of songs.

Guns n Roses?

I hate Bohemian Rhapsody like poison.

Twenty years ago, I thought G'N'R were untouchable. A recent listen to some of their stuff had me laughing a lot of the time. Many great moments, but many ridiculous ones too.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Sorry can't stand R.E.M.(like Led Zepplen, U2 and ZZ Top)they're hugely over-rated,IMO).

If you haven't, it's worth checking out their earlier stuff. Far removed from stuff like 'Shiny Happy People' or the tosh they wheeled out on their last couple of albums

Anyone dislike The Beach Boys out there?

Good shout. Surely no-one can dislike Pet Sounds.

 

[Blue_Wes]

Not hilarious at all. Benny & Bjorn wrote some absolute pop gems. Shame you're too "cool" to see it.

Yorkshire Blue? 'Too Cool' Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha





Sorry Matt!

Hang him.:angry::facepalm::winking:

Good shout. Surely no-one can dislike Pet Sounds.

Not my favourite BB's album, and definitely overrated, but half of it is killer and I do love them generally.

What about the rest?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

So basically no there arent any!

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Beatles
Queen
MJ

 

[OldBlueLady]

Loads of middle of the road (no, not them!) and glam rock types I would have thought, The Osmonds (check out Phase III or The Plan if you think they were just saccharin pop), The Seekers, Sweet, Slade, Mud....personal favourites of mine, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, 80s - Duran Duran, Adam and the Ants...The Jackson 5 and Abba are a given though, surely?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Beatles
Queen
MJ

Seriously. Anything post Thriller was ****ing terrible.

 

[Ricey]

Seriously. Anything post Thriller was ****ing terrible.

What a load of ********!

Bad was an excellent album.

 

[KAB]

Universally liked and respected. I give you....Free. A band I keep returning to, much like AC/DC.

Got to agree with Ricey, it was just different to what he'd done before - more of a production with epic videos - I absolutely love Black of White, for instance, which is later.
