Yello lost their edge in later years, but in the 80s, they were at the cutting edge of mainstream electronic music.

Technically not a bad, sorry. I'm so sorry. Just fucking shoot me then, shoot me in the face with bazooka, why don't you? Vaporise my fucking head!

Quality's a bit shit too, but you can find it on Bandcamp and it sounds better there. Did you guys know Epic bought Bandcamp last year? Such a bummer.

Amy Macdonald is underrated, but sadly still too famous for me to think, "She'd be a household name if only people heard her songs".

And speaking of underrated, why wasn't this Garbage's biggest hit? Everyone in the world has such inferior taste compared to me and my genius.

>>13799
>why wasn't this Garbage's biggest hit?

Because it doesn't encapsulate their sound or period in music they were part of like #1 Crush, which equally wasn't their biggest hit:

Why is the American entertainment industry so obsessed with the Salem Witch trials these days? There was that weird programme about witch soldiers and this is the second or third music video I've seen covering the topic. And then there was that Marvel show.

What's driving it? Why are white chicks referencing Wednesday Adam's monologue about the natives killing pilgrims?

Now largely forgotten, Jennifer Rush was a quintessentially 80s act. "Ring of Ice" and "The Power Of Love" were her only two singles that made the UK Top 20.

>>13832
I always assumed she was a one-hit wonder. By an incredible coincidence, my own YouTube browsing introduced me to another song by another lady I assumed was a one-hit wonder of the 1980s just last night:

>>13833

That generic 80s sound, generic even by 1980s standards, led to loads of acts like that. It's no real surprise that most of them in the end didn't have long-lasting careers. Kylie Minogue, on the other hand, is an example of beating the odds by reinventing herself from the ground up. And she had a solid daytime TV background with its own fan base.

I've had Still Corners recommended to me for years and I never bothered to listen to them, but yeah it's pretty good. Something you'd hear in the soundtrack to some Americana like True Detective.

Also Overload is a great song.

For me, it's Mutya. Not now though obviously.

My problem with Maneater has always been this right here:

I don't actually remember which one came out first, but the similarities are unforgivable. I prefer Part-Time Lover, so hopefully that's the one that was released first.

This man has just died. I'd never heard of him, but he wrote Kingston Town which is both better for summer, and also makes me tremendously relieved that the UB40 one wasn't the original.

>>13864

I'm not sure UB 40 had any original material, ever.

Even Red Red Wine was a cover.

Sounds a bit like Goldie Lookin Chain.

I think that kind of act will end up finding a niche on here at some point, e.g. GLC, Cosmo Jarvis, Die Antwoord, Kunt, etc.

I'm really enjoying this track by Sufjan Stevens.

There's also this one, which was the first I heard. It's a little .. cliche perhaps, but the sounds are nice.

Using SponserBlock I've patched up the skip in the music video for Learn to Fly as best as I can. You still pick up the drop but it doesn't create dead air like it did before. I'm surprised nobody has taken a look into it earlier, someone did already skip the non-music parts of the video.

Yes I procrastinated on work all week and I'm now playing catch-up which includes fucking about on Youtube.

First heard of the Alan Parsons Project from Austin Powers, habe only just come across it in the wild.
I'm really enjoying this track, sounds somewhat like MGMT during the second half;

Probably my favourite Depeche Mode song of all time.

This one is slightly longer than the 7'' single version everybody knows, and the synth arrangements are a bit more "pulsating" at the end.

Thanks to t'otherlad, I've been on a Sans Beanstalk binge.

Cheers lad. Chad.

I've always loved Little Bit of Soul by DJ Format, and I've always assumed it sampled something but I never bothered to look it up. Until today! It really is almost identical. DJ Format added very little.

Sorry to interrupt, but I had completely forgotten this game existed and you can't play it (for free) any more. The song is Frisco - Sea of Love (Hixxy remix) if you don't want to watch someone playing Techno Kitten Adventure while you listen to it.

I don't know where Frisco get off, given that Hixxy remixed it and the original was by Danish group Daze who also did that Tamagotchi song. I have been listening to all this stuff for hours now.

To bring it back to famously sampled music, how about the original of Theme from S Express?

>>13895

I knew that one. Cheers mate.

In the early 2000s, every other dance song was nicked off some 1970s disco tune, often the slightly more obscure ones.

Spiller's Groove Jet is a similar rework of a song by Carol Williams:

Fuck, I'm old.

Is there a term for the type of singing during the first half of this track? Specifically the lamenting 'ooooh's starting from 0:47.
Similar to this track in Little Shop of Horrors, throughout but specifically at 2:14 when the old lady passes.
I thought it might be a type of Keening but the examples of that I've found don't sound right.
Maybe choir singing, too, but again the feeling is very different.

The sounds remind me of my grandmother - an apparently horrible woman but I wouldn't have known that when she was alive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0kSBiu1IGk

>>13917
Musically, that bit at 2:14 sounds like a relative minor chord. That's nothing to do with the singing, though; moving from one chord to its relative minor just always sounds really nice, at least in my opinion. I'm not any kind of musical expert, but the notes in the chord of C are C, E and G, and C major's relative minor is A minor, where the notes are A, C and E, so if the singers are doing some kind of harmony (and I assume they are), only one of them needs to change the note and it'll sound great.
