I don't really pay much attention to mainstream pop music and often when I do hear it, its all that EDM sort of thing. I don't actively hate pop music - I'm a live and let live kind of guy. Most of us tend to stick with our types of music.

What I'm wondering is, have there been any noteworthy or memorable pop songs in your opinion in 2016?

A great song by Minor Victories with great pop melody, written by genius Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), sung by Rachel Gosswell (Slodive/Minor Victories) and James Graham (The Twilight Sad)

carlober knows what I'm talking about.

Nice guitar riff. Overplayed to buggery by anyone and everyone but some hits you just have to recognise its appeal.

Over here (in France), that's for sure. I must have heard that tune like about 10 times EVERY day since it came out. Sadly, I see the appeal too. A "catchy" mainstream electro tune that you don't have too much to remember about. I hated that tune first hearing it, and it just grown since. Awful "song".

The worst is these parties you accept to go with some mates, where you don't only hear that tune multiple times, but you hear similar tunes OVER AND OVER.

Another one I never got around to doing...

I'm not sure 'Ultralight Beam' should be on the list (as good as it is) but I'd nominate Lady Gaga's 'Perfect Illusion', another well written pop song I think she's under her belt and that Bruno Mars song '24K Magic'. It's well produced, tasteful instrumentally (enjoyably throwback), with some good hooks and a solid vocal performance. That said I will say I think the arrangement is pretty messy and it doesn't reach its full potential. All in all though it gets my approval.

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
