Music Meme

I pinched this from karaokegal

Because I am so confident in my knowledge of music, ask me about 5 of your favorite bands [or artists], and I will list my favorite songs by each of them and why, but the catch is you must post this in your journal too! You know you want to! Make it so!

The meme says you should post to your journal, but I'm not one for meme fascism. If you just wanna test me and don't fancy it yourself, I won't be checking up on you ;)

Awwwww. I'd love to have been in the UK during the height of TT-mania. The only reason I heard of them in the first place was when they did a cover of "Could It Be Magic" and Barry Manilow did THEIR version in his concerts and mentioned them. When I got into Robbie a little later, I somehow had to go back and make the connection.

I know that You'll Never Walk Alone is Liverpool FC, is Ferry Cross the Mersey Liverpool as well? (I once a bunch of boys singing You'll Never Walk Alone on a street in Cork in the middle of the night. It was amazing.)

I assume you've also seen 24 Hour Party People with our own luscious John Simm as Bernard Sumner.

TT mania left me relatively unscathed, but I did like them as a band. On the whole I am not really a pop music kinda gal, but there are a couple of exceptions and I would count them as one.

Ferry Cross the Mersey does indeed tend to get used quite a lot around Liverpool FC too. I think that the meaning you attach to songs is very much to do with the context too. I've only ever really associated them with football, so they tend not to move me. If I heard someone else singing them in a different context, I may feel differently.

I've not gotten around to seeing 24 Hour Party People yet. licklepickle got me Canterbury Tales and Crime and Punishment for my birthday and I didn't get see those yet either. I also need a copy of Miranda and Boston Kickout and I think my Simm collection is complete :)
