Anyone for a game of foosball?

The Cult — She Sells Sanctuary

If you're an intellectual you will admit that the song is plain-dull un-, or disharmonic bull-crap!!!

I pretty much know Bill's taste (not difficult after 7 years and 24.500 hours of listening) and are AMAZED, absolutely AMAZED each time this DJ - one with a real fine sense for good music, MELODY and HARMONIES - has this song on the roll. To me me this is more than stunning, since it's one of those song that is held together by nothing much but a pretended drive. As I said earlier - not for 5 Cents melody, no hook-line, no ear catcher. It reminds me of an old chap who's ma**urb**ing (my apologies to the bible-belt listeners) for an hour, but unable getting to the point!

A completely senseless effort of a band that has NEVER EVER been the supposed supergroup certain magazines made out of them. Instead a gathering or rather old man in leather-jackets with limited talents. Proof is that they never made it! I even prefer the talent-free "Sister of Mercy", who had at least a half handful of signature songs! The Cult...? Common, pleeeeeeease - nooooo!!!

Sort of taps one on the shoulder. Listen, listen.
Good voice too.

Unfortunately I fail to see why people like this song. It's not particularly catchy. The lyrics are as banal as modern pop. There's nothing notable in the performance.

I guess this was the pop music of the 50's, but I don't feel it holds up in any way today, or is otherwise worth remembering.

These guys are really good. Great vocals.

HAHAHAHA - Joke of the year!

I prefer the spanish-guitar version of "MY GENERATION".

Unbelievable, what some folks play and others listen to.

Ninty ( 90!!!!! ) 10-votes for this "crime-of-a-song" confirm that RP-music is made for the wrong crowd!

No wonder that Floyd, Queen and other retirement-boppers are so popular here.

Gyspy woman told my mother before I was born
You got a boy childs comin'
Gonna be a son of a government functionary
And so I am

Yeah! It's like Neko with a Hieronymus Bosch vibe.

I will say AGAIN:

To cover a song and make it different and interesting - without insulting the original singer and/or songwriter is extremely creative. Since many covers are done of songs that are considered "anthems" or "classics" or defining of one genre or another, I consider it more difficult at times than performing one of your own original pieces. Of course, that is IMHO...

Sorry to say it, but compared to Golden Sand and Buildings and Mountains, this is the musical equivalent of a church bake sale. You are going to buy the lemon squares even though they look dried out because Grandma will kick your ass if you don't buy SOMETHING.

O_O

No one kicks ass like a pissed off Grandma...

I used to listen to this on my Walkman on the bus to college at the crack of freakin' dawn. College was an hour and a half away by bus and we passed through farmland along the way. This song would always hit at the same spot on the journey, where we passed these big flat fields with mist hanging at about kneecap level and the sun would just be above the horizon. I will forever associate that image with this song.

I'm metastatic and one of the things I amuse myself with at work is creating a soundtrack to my death. When my mom was in hospice, no one told us the signs of impending death and instead of hearing calm, she heard us freaking out. I'm thinking that her last thought was that my sister and I had to stop being such ninnies - that being a favorite comment made to us and especially to me.

This song is on the top of my list. I don't want sad b/c I when the time comes, I don't want to delay my passage by thinking about sad things - I want music that feels calm and 'pretty' and which might be reassuring to my husband, sister and cousin.

I don't mean this to be morbid. I have a concurrent list called 'Things to play during Remission Periods'. Lots of dance tracks on that one!

The Byrds — I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better

Hey! Is that David Crosby w/o a mustache?

Being of a "certain age" and British, this takes me back to school discos and waiting to be asked to slow-dance and hopefully get a snog....sigh!

...Love the koto or the instrument that sounds like a koto. How do you figure out that a trippy goth song just has to have a fucking koto?
