[Music] Laughably bad music that makes 'Music' by John Miles sound good

[studio150]

It's so bad I wouldn't even bother opening the link, how anyone can listen for more than a few seconds before hitting the mute or off button I don't know.

Is that why it’s unavailable?

Holy f***!! I got to 50 seconds of that pile of elephant’s shit. If I didn’t know any better it sounds like the B side of the ‘Glory of Reading’. Mind you, John Miles’ Music was enough to send you rushing to the bogs too.

I hope you have recovered and back to your old self.

Blimey, it’s even worse than the latest “joke du jour”!

UB40 are an odd band, start off with a great debut album and few singles, then gradually, actually, swiftly turn into the worst type of Cruise ship cod reggae covers band. . .bizarre.

You can't mean this.

Just a personal thing. In a rock musician I don't expect nicely brushed hair, a guitarist who occasionally reaches over to strike Lloyd Webberesque chords on a piano, then, eyes closed, up towards a falsetto: "Music is my first love!", while wearing a sort of romper suit.

A similar cringe for me is "Dear Music" by Mahogany Rush. I won't try to post it as there is a risk my laptop may vomit.

I shared your disgust at the time and still do. 'Music' was everything that was wrong with the mid-1970s - pretentious, overblown, saccharine - and the kids couldn't dance to it. People nowadays always claim that punk was a reaction to prog rock, but they don't remember John Miles. Odd that he eventually landed on his feet as Tina Turner's musical director. There's no justice.

I remember when the original came out (I was 3 or 4 years old), and it was the first bit of music that mesmerized me. That live version sounds a bit naff, but the guitar was pretty much supposed to sound like that - tinny and staccato. The drumming does sound rather odd, though. I'm not sure that duff live versions of good studio-recorded ttracks counts, though. Anything live from the 1980s by Toyah or Hazel O'connor would also sound ludicrous. Look up Toyah doing 'mystery' live.

Weirdly, Clem Cattini, the drummer on the original, worked at the Arsenal training ground at one point. Which is almost as weird as being played by James Corden in the Telstar movie.

Radio 2 is my only window in to what may be in the hit parade these days - If you haven't had the chance to listen to the latest offerings by (individually) messrs Savoretti and Owen, M then do yourself a favour and don't, the lyrics are god awful, something I may have written in my band at 15. And then chucked away.
