An audience with Adele

[AmandaJR]

Someone put me out of my misery; I'm trying to think of a top artist whose back catalogue is based almost exclusively on happy songs. The more I look at, the more of them seem to come from some degree of unhappiness.

So come on, who is it that is counteracting the Adele effect?

I'm going with Peter Kay

Oh hang on...top artist...

Give up...

Your right Chris I would never criticize anyone’s music taste.

Oh wait a minute the exception being The Eagles??

Oh come on Roy, the Eagles are brilliant - in my opinion of course! ??

Not bad for someone who is “very out of tune” and “her pitch is definitely out”

Let’s not forget that Gangnam Style broke YouTube’s view counter of 2.4billion… just sayin’

I think you can have some morbid songs, but to base your output on it wears somewhat.
Karen Carpenter and Sheryl Crow

That’s the good thing about music - it’s all about each persons personal taste and what they enjoy listening too. There is no “bad music” it’s just different from what someone likes

Technically speaking Adele’s voice is superb , it’s the same with Ed Sheeran who gets a lot of flak but some just won’t like the music they produce

It’s like rap - I think it’s awful to listen to but for some it will be superb

There will be people that dont like groups like Queen , The Who , Pink Floyd etc

One of my favourite artists is Mike Oldfield but some will think he is horrific

But someone isn’t a fool for spending money on a ticket to watch or listen to what they like - it’s their choice.

Big fan of his early music - saw him in late 70's or maybe 80 - Platinum tour in London.

I’d rather have my plums staple gunned to a table while rats eat me alive than listen to Sam smith

Just get a very slight inkling that Sam Smith isn't your most favoured artist??

I'm a Crystal Palace fan too, I think the Eagles are awesome!

Maybe not so the band

What an odd choice you’ve been presented with this morning.
