christosd Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Billy Joel : We didn't start the fire. Billy Joel: 4 other songs via association with the above song. In fact, I hate anyone that likes that song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippi Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 down,down - the coles jingle: and by extension/origin: I think their jingle effort has placed this band into a permanent no go zone for me. Not that I was much of a fan before but it certainly dropped this bands rating down-down some 90%. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw these guys at the old Apollo Stadium many years ago, probably the loudest concert I've ever been to. I used to think I liked Down, Down when it first came out, but everything they did from then on just sounded the same. Can't stand it now after the Coles sellout. I still play 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' from time to time though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’ve been to the Gympie Muster and the Tamworth Country Music festival so I’ve already had to listen to the soundtrack to hell Its why I’m now leading a Christian Life of good behaviour Just in case Stairway To Heaven would fit right in A song so awful it took Rolf Harris to improve it And if you do end up in that unfortunate place you might need an escape route 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_m_54 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The fact that there is only a "Stairway to Heaven", but a "Highway to Hell" would dictate that a few of us may be eternally tortured by these songs anyway.. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( a low point in Sting's career ) I bought the album on the strength of the sentiment in that song! (Verse 2 in particular) It's also one of those songs that get folk my age back up on the dancefloor after it's been cleared by playing a request. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like banjo however you distort it, I don't particularly like Spiderbait, and their version isn't a whole lot different to Ram Jam, so just another crap on crap really.
