lateandlive 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Anyone else of the opinion that disco-wise, Girls Aloud are one of the best groups produced in the UK in a long long time? I mean...alot of the stuff they do seems to be covers, but certain tracks are becoming ever popular! Alot of the time, current pop acts only go down well with the listening public if you play their current release, however there's ever faithful fallbacks of Love Machine, Something Kinda Oooh...you can pull alot of tracks out of their back catalogue and get a pretty full floor!

I'm glad you said ONE of the best......cos I would be mortified if you had gone 1 stage further, and forgot about MisTeeq (Ok I know) or Sugarbabes !!!! I always think about girls aloud as a kind of female Bay City Rollers!!!! Cheers! Roy B. Digital Distortion Disco (D3 Entertainments) See you around! Link to post Share on other sites

lateandlive 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Oh yeh, total crap! Then again, it's also party cheese (all be it modern cheese) and wouldn't most people argue - as much as it fills some dancefloors - that YMCA, Macarena and saturday Night are all crap!

Danno13 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Don't like them. Sugababes are far better... at least they use new material instead of murdering songs like "jump" and "I think we're alone now" Revolution Discos - Covering Midlands and the Cotswolds - 01386 898 113 - 07791 261 263 Link to post Share on other sites
jamesmurphy 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Personally i didn't think it was possible to murder "I think we're alone now"...Tiffany did that when she made the cover of it. I think Tommy James & the Shondells did it first in 1967, and it was only listenable then, now it's just sickening! Link to post Share on other sites

Bolan-Boogie 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 At least this cheese pop stuff .. Girls aloud etc make danceable music for generic occasions. Its gotta be better than half the RnB sh!te in the charts !! Link to post Share on other sites
PEDJ 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 From a female perspective Girls Aloud may sound great in the pop music targeted but they let the side down with their attitude sadly. Yuk. ;thumbdown: Link to post Share on other sites

Clockwork_Orange 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Girls aloud etc make danceable music for generic occasions. Its gotta be better than half the RnB sh!te in the charts !! :Thumbup: Thoroughly agree!! Mind you, in my day RnB stood for Rythm and Blues - a term which would not apply to an y of the 'bling-bling' artists that seem to be under the mistaken idea that they quality in that genre. I would be more inclined to say that it shows the current state of the crap being produced over the past few years. Why is it crap? If people like it, and they want to dance to it, then to describe it as crap is innacurate. It might not be your personal taste, but then everyone likes something different and as dj's, we are there to play what people ant to hear, not what we want to hear. If you just want to play your favourites, stay at home with a personal cd player 'cos you won't make a success of being a dj. Girls Aloud are great floor fillers - in the same vein as Shania's Don't impress me much, Chers' Believe and numerous others. They help us do our jobs and good on them. You don't have to like them personally, but you have to agree that they, like others such as the Sugababes, make a great party atmosphere and appeal to all age groups.

C.S 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Dont get you guys ! Firstly you agree that the rnb stuff in the charts is sh#te then rant about "why is Girls aloud Cr"p ?" and continue on about not allowing personal tastes affect the jobs we do ???????????? bit of a contradiction dont you think ?

BigBen 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Anyone else of the opinion that disco-wise, Girls Aloud are one of the best groups produced in the UK in a long long time? I actually think the opposite...I hate their sound. I find it too harsh and over-produced, bordering on distortion most of the time. I rarely play them and rarely get requests for them. I do play Sugababes and Mis-Teeq though, and I will always try to play an original track in preference to any poor cover version. Still, I guess the audiences we play to determine what we play - horses for courses! [insert quirky comment] Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think the bloke has made a good point..I think their music can fill the dance floor. I especially play love machine quite often..This dosn`t mean I like it BTW....I must admit though I do like them and not for their musical attributes.. Have to also say that their latest one, Think we`re alone now is WOEFULL!! Steve 5 European cups and 18 leagues, that`s what we call history. Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately this seems to be the way pop music generally seems to sound, although there are some exceptions. Better not start another discussion on this!!
