Re: Northern Soul record labels
Once you've heard one Northern Soul song you've heard them all as they all sound the same. Its so repetitive people just do the same silly dance over and over again for hours. The uniformity of it all is just like a grown up version of Goths with slightly less creativity.

Which is why so many artists have copied their music from this scene

'In common parlance, the term devil's advocate describes someone who, given a certain point of view, takes a position he or she does not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further'.
You obviously haven't heard many Northern Soul tracks if you think they all sound the same?!
Not need for debate or further thought.

I know you like to be controversial but please do us a favour and stop talking out of your @rse. You obviously haven’t heard any stompers if you think people just do the one silly dance as you so eloquently put it.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:50 amOnce you've heard one Northern Soul song you've heard them all as they all sound the same.

It wasn’t just the music either it was all about the scene. Magical days in the 70’s. Northern Soul is timeless, that’s why the big advertising companies use a lot of Northern tracks on TV adverts. Keep the Faith!!!!

Re: Northern Soul record labels
Been to plenty of music nights in my youth that had 60's and Northern Soul rooms and dont mind some of the music but watching them all do that same silly dance used to be good entertainment if nothing else.
Watching the old blokes nowadays with silly hair dos and silly clothes thinking its still some cool scene is hilarious. They do remind me of my nan though which is nice

That’s because the hairs on the back of your neck haven’t stood up and the soulfulness of the music has never hit you. It’s obviously not for you pal.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 1:37 pmAll kinds of music but I tend to let the music in the moment move me rather than trot out some contrived dance steps Ive practiced like im on an episode of Strictly

Re: Northern Soul record labels
There’s certainly some truth in what you say. The beat is always there but the rhythm can change and so can the musical arrangements, the vocalists and the instruments.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:50 amOnce you've heard one Northern Soul song you've heard them all as they all sound the same.

But that beat man....
Infectious, adrenaline pumping and magnificent.
Once it’s in your soul, it’s with you for life.

Not my kind of music, but I can see the talent behind it. The production, session musicians and vocals.

Re: Northern Soul record labels

When you go to the pub do you also like to be the centre of attention there?
It's not just the dancing that's silly and contrived, try reading back some of your posts from the last year or so.

Re: Northern Soul record labels
Anyhow, it's hard to get upset, once you are over the age of fourteen, and someone on the internet says your taste in music is crap or your dancing is rubbish.

The majority of your posts are designed to get a response, then when they do you pretend to be hurt and holier than thou. It's all part of the immature game.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:13 amPeople must lead delicate sheltered lives if they think I am mouthy and that I would be worried about giving my opinion in a pub or anywhere else.

Re: Northern Soul record labels
When have I ever pretended to be hurt or upset?
The majority of my posts are not designed to get a response however I understand that if you hold certain opinions on here because people are really precious they get upset. I cant help that but if people want to have a go at me thats fine as I can give as good as I get and can back up my opinions.
Seriously you seem obsessed so if you don't like what I post just ignore me as Im sure lots of other posters do (just like there's lots of posters I ignore). Its not rocket science and in my opinion immaturity is those who cannot cope with someone having an opinion they dislike.
Im starting to feel like Im your counsellor so a bit of gratitude wouldnt be amiss
Re: Northern Soul record labels
Someone does not like Northern Soul so they go on a thread about Northern Soul. Strange behaviour
Stop replying to him you are bringing a bit of excitement into his sad boring existence.
