Stock, Aitken and Waterman - Your Views.

Stock, Aitken & Slaughterhouse did indeed slaughter music in Britain in the 80s - my 80s record/cd collection includes very little material from about 1983, except by the Smiths. The only listenable-to music that the mid-80s produced.

Nah StarSparkle, you're doing a lot of artists a great disservice there. There's plenty of stuff in my collection after 1983.

 

Nah - there was a lot of humour in the Smiths songs - you just had to be slightly sophisticated to appreciate it..... :)

Ah yes... the 2nd Great Rock & Roll Swindle. Surely you didn't believe that you had to be sophisticated to listen to The Smiths did you? ;)

 

Pete Waterman should be shot (only joking mind! :suspect: ) for his 'contributions' to 'music'.
SAW helped create a popular music vacuum and interest in super clubs that enabled the Great Dance Revolution of 1986/7, and the rise of House so that's not really fair on PW. :)

That's like saying that Rick Wakeman was instrumental (geddit) in the rise of punk.

I owe you an apology StarSparkle - I forgot that you were right all along. There was absolutely no listenable music produced between 1984 and 1990, and the Arctic Monkeys ARE the best very band on the planet at the moment as you quite rightly keep saying.

 

My mistake, I won't do it again :(
