Tried to get into them in my University days several years ago (Christ, I'm getting old). But other than a couple tunes which were a bit of alreet (Lazyitis, Hallelujah, 24 Hour Party People), I couldn't get into them.

Trying to listen to them now, again.

I have their discography, and have had it for several years.

Still struggling. And people say Ian Brown can't sing. Jesus what the hell is this shit?

They are just so spectacularly unsatisfying.

It's a band I really want to like, too. Can someone please help me see the light?

Sometimes i dont like some band but i can see why other people think that they are great. But i cant see anything great, not a single thing, about Mondays.

I do like them, but my first reaction to them was also "WTF is this?"

Wrote for Luck is a good one. Its the biggest song off their 2nd album Bummed, which also features Lazyitis. I actually prefer that one to PillsThrills n Bellyaches, which I still like.

A good tune of their first album is Tart Tart.

Part of the problem is that they sound really dated. I haven't ever really checked them out but some of their singles are solid though. I'll give them a listen eventually but don't know if they'll have the same effect with me as they would have in the 80's and early 90's.

I like Happy Mondays, they were a chaotic band, the most hedonistic band of all time I guess, and a band that in theory shouldn't work, but surprisingly it does.

They released two great albums with Bummed and Pills, Pills in particular is fantastic with lots of great instrumentation, things like Loose Fit and Brain Dead will never get old.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
