and finding my way to the winamp-forums

So the karaoke kings have been busy apola. As you say, they're keeping their record label afloat.

My signature needs modifying.:)

Westlife is a bunch of Clowns.

Stop insulting clowns Sweet!!!

I wasn't insulting Clowns, I was calling Westlife a bunch clowns.

I meant.... stop insulting circus workers (a clown is an honest profession, a boy band member is not).:D

LOL.

But there i also ather types of clowns, like there is always a family clown, a person who makes trouble, and there is the classroom clown, in my class I'm classified as the class clown by my friends.

/me wondering why taylor is the clown at school???????

Absolutely right. This spreadsheet I'm working on's eaten my brain.:(

In the muck around student, there is alot but im the worst in the class.

All those people who went to that fan conference will not agree with you.
(I'm serching for a pic of that conference I'll paste it here if i get........)

I don't ned to waste my time on a boy-band, don't bother. Because you will be wasting your precious boy-band listening time.

I was just trying to make you all understand...........you donno what you guys are missing!!!!!

I know - told you before about my daughter when she was 12 and her addiction to bsb.

reason enough for me to dislike it.

You forgot the all-important assclown, a term that best suits the members of westlife and all other boybands.

We know what we're missing, and we're happy that we are.

Been there, done that, still trying to drink the memories away.

Meh, too lazy to look for album covers. I'll check what's on the computer when I get home.

we don't want to know.

ok ok .......I'm sorry.......I'm taking my words back.
The Boy-bands already have lots of crazy fans(like me!)........doesn't matter a few people from here like them or not.

"Mindless sheep" seems more appropriate...

i thought sheep would've had more sense though...

No way.
Boy-bands never sing out of rhythm. They never shout out of scale. They never spoil the soft appeal of music……………but ya some rock artist do remind me of sheep………they way they sound (shout?)…….ba ba baaaaa
:D

Hmm... the year 2003 was a mixed bag for me, starting with Euro bands such as Flying Steps, ATC etc. to a 'Flashback 80s' with New Wave artists such as PSB, FGTH etc. and back to modern bands in the last 3 months. This is a condensed summary of my musical life through the year 2003:

January: Had just then got my Nomad MuVo as a New-year gift from my relative. Started listening to music on my MuVo, particularly German bands like Eiffel 65 and Flying Steps, and not to mention, some good UK artists like Apollo 440, Jamiroquai, Paradise Lost, Robbie Williams, Chicane etc.

February: The euro craze continued for a while, until when all of a sudden, I just lost interest in it. For a week or so, I just felt music-less and kinda miserable during that patch... until I happened to listen to the 80s hit 'Alphaville - Big in Japan'. I suddenly got hooked into the 80s music... I then became retrospective and started 'collecting' music by Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Tears for fears etc... the New Wave era was reborn in me :)

March, April & May: It was during this period that I got introduced to the 80s UK band "Frankie goes to Hollywood" - their music was sheer beauty :up: their big-hit tracks such as Relax, Two Tribes, Warriors, Rage Hard, Ferry cross the Mersey, Lunar Bay and Heaven's Sake were absolutely priceless - I have them preserved even today.


I'll complete the rest later, I've got work to do now.

well, take into account that they're lipsyncing(sp) and you'll discover why.

NEVER....INSULT....ROCK....AGAIN :mad:

rock is good because it's not just a carbon copy of what you'd hear on an album. the band has room to experiment with different guitar solo's, fills and actually "playing" music. plus just excitment of a crowd at a rock show basicly is best thing about live music to me

Still not clear, do you listen ot vocals or sounds of instruments?

Oh I'm so sorry, how come you hear vocals?Rock singers don't have any vocal at all they only know how to shout ........as I told before, out of rhythm,out of melody,out of scale........

Compare pop(boybands).

Ummm you are a sillypants. So you believe rock is screaming, your a moron. Did you ever see Pink Floyd screaming and shouting?????? NO! Every rock band has songs that are soft and good to listen to, and I believe that they are alot more talented, since when did you see a boy-band member play drums of guitar, or set-up an amplifier?? Hmmmmm?? NO! And atleast they write their own lyrics.....where as boy-bands need writer to do it for them, same goes for pop singers, like Britney. And I think that there are alot more people that like rock onstead of boy-bands. Stop being a clown-shoe.
