[Julian]

:eek:

I honestly don't get why people like EA. There are so many better songs on IFYOG and i'm not even a big fan of the ep. It's just a mediocre song that I don't find catchy at all really.

Yeah, I'm kind of over it a bit now.....it used to be my favourite but I've gone off it a bit. I like the intro and the chorus, but the verses are a bit meh. But still, I wouldn't call it mediocre!

That's what I love about this thread - so interesting reading other people's opinions! :)

Wow! What a dumb! We don't even understood your question well :D
we are twin sisters. Our nickname - Madtwins we got from Bob - Mad Heads drummer, and it take the beginnings from the fact that we love Mad Heads band. So we are MadTwins.

We like this thred! Really different points!!! Not like in others threads like that.

that's what i want to say looking at everybody's lists here :D
we all have got too random points of view,so I better will stop to read this thread =) always want to scream: "Hey,how can you say that Into The Red sucks?!(well...under "sucks" I mean not so good like others for that man)"

[Amur]

What are annoying topic! We shocked!!!!! Most of all your "last" songs is super cool for us!!! We also don't think TLE don't have a really bad songs. We think thay have "hits", strong songs and less strong songs.

Best: Fond Farewell
Worst: No reaction

[Amur]

Best: No way out (only bad thing about this track is that it ends)

haha...yeah,exactly.But you can listen to it 6 times at repeat,as do my friend listening to OSTTO.
I have got No Way Out as alarm sound on my mobile phone...So I have woken up by this track already 70 times...at least.

[_jimmy_]

i dont really like many songs on "roll on", had to much of a creative sound

[AlinaPOW]

There's no way I can answer that.
I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy every song equally. The only two songs that that don't get listened through the whole way through every. Single. Time. Are Tabletop Show and Do What I Do. That's it.

[AlinaPOW]

Naaaw... a lot of folk put Wrong Side of the Tracks as a least favourite song. Its corny beyond belief but I still ove it :)

[Habibster]

Yeah i don't mind Wrong Side of The Tracks either, a bit 'corny' ^^^ for me though :o

[hillaas]

The only one that i have ever decided was the worst on an album was.......

Bringin it all back hom - FHOI

Other than that i would never pick a best or worst (although i do have my favourites)

[The Dying Start]

Bringin It All Back Home takes a while to grow on ya, i found.

[Loo C]

Plus it has the misfortune of being tucked in between two very strong songs in Second Solution and All Torn Down!

[middy182]

:D

[The Dying Start]

Even if we don't, mel will probably find some way to sneak it in somewhere.

[Drunky McClovis]

I really can't pick bad songs off the albums...let alone one fav...

but i love how 3/4 people picked Blinded as they're fav song not on an offical album!

love that song :)

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, coulda been a single.

[hillaas]

Bringin It All Back Home takes a while to grow on ya, i found.

I don't think i will ever give it the time to grow on me.

[Evil Chris]

Its an awesome song. It would have sounded better on acoustic. But thats not punkabilly

[mel_bound]

It would have sounded better on acoustic. But thats not punkabilly

What the hell does that have to do with anything!?

[Evil Chris]

That its not the living end. Unless they did both versions.

[hillaas]

Pfft...i just have no like of that song. It has nothing going for it. I was surprised when i found it on FHOI.

[mel_bound]

Since when have TLE only done 'punkabilly'?! TLE have done plenty of different styles, not to mention acoustic stuff. I'll list off the slower acoustic songs they have if you want!

[hillaas]

I would like that very much.

List away!

[Evil Chris]

Pfft...i just have no like of that song. It has nothing going for it. I was surprised when i found it on FHOI.

You Made me feel like listening to it. Thnx.

[hillaas]

I'm still waiting for a list Mel.

[worry_rock]

Bringin It All Back Home takes a while to grow on ya, i found.

I liked it instantly. The part that goes but nobody calls always manages to remind me of Queen haha.

The only one that i have ever decided was the worst on an album was.......

Bringin it all back hom - FHOI

Other than that i would never pick a best or worst (although i do have my favourites)

That's kind of the same for me, except it's I Want A Day from S/T for me. It's the only that I can easily decide is my least favourite on an album.

[hillaas]

Man, i love I want A Day and you love Bringin it all back home and i hae bringin it all back home and you hate I want a day. CRAZY!

[Bec]

I liked it instantly. The part that goes but nobody calls always manages to remind me of Queen haha
It's not one of my favourites but I like it. I definately agree about the Queen thing though, I always think that too.


That's kind of the same for me, except it's I Want A Day from S/T for me. It's the only that I can easily decide is my least favourite on an album.

[AlinaPOW]

Hmm.. Sunday Bloody Sunday?

Awww man, I love that song! I really don't enjoy U2 but the TLE cover is gold!

[Evil Chris]

But thats the worst I could think of man. Everyone of em is gold, but yeah. That one was just the lower one.

[Infiction]

I was always a huge fan of it, I'm especially glad Chris left out the "oooh"s Bono does at the very start because I can't see that suiting TLE well. While I'm on the topic of covers, is anyone else here a big fan of TLE's Tainted Love? I say that around where I live and I just get told it's shit, too fast and Marilyn Mason's is the best version...?

I'd forgotten how fun these forums were actually, I'm glad that I'm back here now

[Evil Chris]

Tainted Love is the best Version I've heard. Marylon Manson is OK. But everyone in the world would say that the Soft Cell Version is the best. Well the song's been covered numurous times. The Living End just need to put some endness into it and its magic!.

[Infiction]

I'm not really familar with the term "Endness"? I have heard four or five versions of it and without being biased I think the living end's is the best I've heard but not very many non-tle fans will agree I don't think.

[The Dying Start]

It's the best Rock & Roll version, no doubt.

[Grumma]

It's the best Rock & Roll version, no doubt.

Nah Dishwalla's is better.

And my fave version of Tainted Love would be the Manson one

[kelso]

I havent heard Manson's cover of it
but I absolutley love TLE's cover of Tainted Love

[The Dying Start]

I've purposely avoided Manson's cover.

[Infiction]

I'd purposely avoided it up until this point too Glenn but after everyone telling me how good it is, I couldn't honestly say it was shit until i'd heard it. Now I've heard it and I can tell people |I've heard it and it's shit".

[Liz]

I always thought it was shit.
I also think the original is shit.

[hillaas]

I heard it on a friend's computer and i really liked it. I have never listened to him and this was the first song i heard of his and i liked it. I don't know if all his songs are technoey like that but if they are then it's kinda a different look to what his image gives.

[Grumma]

I prefer the original over TLE's version.

*shrugs shoulders*

Something about it that doesnt quite fit

*edit* Yeah alot of Manson's songs use industrial sounds.

[Liz]

Manson scares me.

[Colezy]

I always thought it was shit.
I also think the original is shit.

But have you heard the orginal, original. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainted_Love)
I'm still tracking down a recording of it. I've only heard the original once before.

[hillaas]

Soft Cell's version is actually a cover. I haven't heard the original but i would like to.

EDIT: thanks Colezy!

DIT: for the wikipedia page

[Liz]

Wow. You learn something new everyday.
I though Soft Cell's was the original.

[hillaas]

I've heard these 4 versions.

# 1981-82 Soft Cell, synthpop

# 1999 The Living End, rockabilly-punk rock

# 2001 Marilyn Manson, industrial metal, on album Not Another Teen Movie O.S.T. and Lest We Forget: The Best Of Marilyn Manson. Also as a bonus track on The Golden Age of Grotesque

# 2005 Lee Harding sang it on Australian Idol for 80's week

[Liz]

Lee Harding sung it?
Eew...

[hillaas]

Yes he did.

He was the coolest idol. As well as the murphy brothers.

[The Dying Start]

He tried to do the TLE version but didn't do it much justice. Neither did the band for that matter.

(I'm glad Damien won this year. He's absolutely fantastic. Best performer i've ever seen on Idol. And his rendition of The Big O's "Crying" had me...almost...Crying!)

[Jawn]

his version of crying had me crying, I get emotional when people think they are worthy to sing sacred songs and fuck it up in the process. Seriously, what the fuck Damien? You aren't Roy, don't sing Roy's songs. Don't sing Leonard Cohen whilst you're at it. And especially cut it with that stupid sounding falsetto. It didn't work for the Bee Gees. It certainly didn't work for James Blunt. What makes you think it will work for you?

[Tyler_who]

My god, you watch australian idol?

[Astoria!]

About a week after Damien was in the top 12, he was at a local pub and sang for my Grandmother... i think the only reason why he won was due to her sms his name in probably a million times...

And no i dont watch it... I think its a joke.

[The Dying Start]

Nah, Dirty Man is a bit dated and WGSU is no where near the best on the album so it might as well be down the bottom.

[hillaas]

I see no logic in that last statement.

[The Dying Start]

It's Glenn Logic. Deal.

[hillaas]

OK.

Ferraris are red.
My nose is red.

I have so many favorites on their self titled album

[Erin]

Roll On
favorite: Riot on Broadway, Revolution Regained

hell yeah!

[kelso]

hell yeah!


haha yeah!

:D

[Kacky]

It's such a tough decision when choosing favourite and least favourite songs.
Gah.

[The Dying Start]

Don't rush yourself. We have our whole lives to live.

[kelso]

in a couple weeks i'll probably change my mind
I only got Modern and Roll On a couple days ago

[Kacky]

I ordered Modern, Roll On, and the self titled today, 'cause my city is cheap and doesn't know how to get good music! The only one you can get around here is SOE.

I also ordered the From Here On In DVD, can't wait to watch that. :D

[kelso]

I was actually fortunate enough to get the last self titled at the cd shop here in town
they had one self titled and like 3 SoE

[Strider]

Trapped again? Bloody hell Dan!

It's a good song, but I just rate all the rest above it. Self-titled and Roll On are the only two CD's where it's extremely hard to pick a song I least like cos they're all brillant.

[The Dying Start]

I want a day is clearly worse in my book. The lyrics don't even fit with the music. Scott writes some good songs but IWAD is somewhat underdone. I am now quite amused that the acronym is IWAD though.

What the hell is an IWAD Glenn?

[Loo C]

The acronym for I Want A Day.

And Glenn, what do you mean when you say "The lyrics don't even fit with the music."?

[The Dying Start]

The timing is all wrong. Too many syllables for the various sections. It just sounds like it's not properly completed yet. I've always thought that..even when i was a musical wasteland of a teenager.

[Infiction]

The acronym for I Want A Day.

umm yeah I knew that, Glenn said

I am now quite amused that the acronym is IWAD though.

which gave me the impression there was a second meaning he had for it.

[Liz]

I've never heard of an IWAD.

Yeah! I smell what your cooking. I used to skip that track everytime because it sounds like they've just thrown a page out of Scott's diary in there.

[kelso]

Yeah! I smell what your cooking.


HA! wtf

xD

[Loo C]

umm yeah I knew that, Glenn said
Haha, sorry! :o

[Neo]

HA! wtf

xD
hehe thats australian for: "I completely understand, exactly what your point is". ;)

[The Dying Start]

...gave me the impression there was a second meaning he had for it.

It was just that it had "wad" in it...

[Johnny_Wah]

oh, like d***wad, f**kwad, and the rest...

[The Dying Start]

Johnnywad, yeah.

[Johnny_Wah]

exactly. wait, no. exactly.
you got me glennwad...actually that sounds like something from doctor who.

[Tyler_who]

Glennwad has a ring to it
