Re: Biggest Fan Songs - September 2021
Today one of those hyper-obscure songs. It’s also Chinese folk music, so even for Biggest Fan standards this is really something else.
972. Ming Flute Ensemble – The Song of the Four Seasons
Year: 2008
Album: Chinese Bamboo Flute Music
Biggest Fan: Live in Phoenix (#195)

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - September 2021
Ming Flute Ensemble – The Song of the Four Seasons: 8
This sounds almost stereotypically like what I expect Chinese folk music to sound like. Not that I'm an expert in any sense. The melody sounds very familiar too. Apparently it was popularized by the 1937 film Street Angels, a Chinese classic unseen by me. Maybe it has been used much more since. I'm not sure if it was an original composition for the film. Heck, I'm not even 100% certain it is the same song as the Ming Flute Ensemble uses, but they sound very similar.
Anyway, the melody is very appealing and soothing, even more so on flute. Easy to like.

Robbie Williams - Radio: 6
From the back-end of the time when Robbie Williams was one of the most reliable hit-makers in Europe. This isn't his most memorable song however and it barely sounds like one of his songs, musically and also vocally. Not bad on its own though.

Not a fan myself, and that's as someone who quite enjoys a Robbie song. This one just strikes me as flat.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - September 2021
You actually improved Yankee Doodle's score to make Old Shep suffer more? What did Elvis' dog every do to you? Kill your grandparents?
James Brown – Out of Sight: 7
One of his most catchy, funky tunes. Some of his more famous songs like Papa's Got a Brand New Bag or Sex Machine overstay their welcome for me, but about two minutes is the right length for most Brown studio cuts (James Brown live is another matter).
Re: Biggest Fan Songs - September 2021
My girlfriend prefers the long versions on all of them. "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" is only slightly over 2 minutes. You must be listening to some album version, or part 1 and 2 together or something. The only version that was ever played over here is this hit single.Rob wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 8:46 pmYou actually improved Yankee Doodle's score to make Old Shep suffer more?

As far as "Sex Machine" the great version is 5:16, but if you want you can just listen to the front side of the 45, below, which is 2:50.

One of those songs that just reminds me once again the Achtung Baby is by far my favorite U2 album. Such a cool sound and so much atmosphere on this one.

The singer's voice isn't great, but I tend to like this band's sense of melody and their guitar work. It's bit cheesy, but in a fun way.

The issues people have with his voice are well documented and pretty reasonable, and this style of song isn't what most people are looking for coming from a metal band. But I love it for the reasons Rob mentions. The verse and pre-chorus melodies are phenomenal and the guitar solo is one of my all-time favorites.

Sounds very nineties. This makes it trigger some nostalgia effect as it sounds a bit like the music growing up. Sadly, it wasn't particularly a style I was ever that fond of.
