His name was MackemX
What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend? -
I dunno. One of their songs came on and I thought I'd ask to see who liked/hated them.Originally Posted by Conquest10

I never thought I'd see someone bring up Vengaboys in this forum but tgpo, I'm with you on them. I loved hearing them when they first came out. They had that Euro-trance style that was very popular and energetic and just made you want to dance. There were other well-known groups among the airwaves that catered to this style like Aqua, DreamHouse, Alice DeeJay, etc...
But the majority of this people who listen to this types were either in their teens to under 30 and also aerobic fanatics. Off course, the older generation can love it too as long as their open-minded in all types of music. I used to DJ so of course I have to be open-minded.
I had a neighbor a couple of years ago that strictly played bootie, gansta, Blowfly music and back in the days techno Rave was a popular style among the clubs. He heard me play a few Raves mixes and surprisingly, he loved it and also wanted a copy. All that time I thought he hated techno. I was just playing loud to irk the sh*t out of him.
tgpo, though you're very late in boarding the Venga Bus, they're still a popular band.
Speaking of techno, they had a Love Parade festival in Berlin that attract over 1.5 million ravers. I don't live in Germany but that's impressive. Here's a link to one article. -
Actually I've liked them for a while now. But I must say that my favorite genre of music is punk. I'm kinda all over the place huh? I think there is a time and place to listen to everything................except country & hip hop & r&b & rap :POriginally Posted by DoubleShadowIce

Wow!! Thats a lot of people. I don't think that techono music has really caught on here in the States. Too much Creed and Nickleback.
I can't stand Creed. Radio here in the States SUCKS!!!!!! The best station here left, Channel Z. They are now only in the North. All the DJs play now is teenybopper crap that is just repackaged and stuffed in their mouths over and over. Eminem, and Ja Rule, and Incubus, and crap like that get far too much air time. While bands like Space Hog, Fountains of Wayne, They Might Be Giants, Space, Bouncing Souls, and Less Than Jake get almost no air time. BOYCOTT RADIO!!!

Sorry, i'm a bit of a techno/happy house/sillycore head (into it at about 9 years old in the very early 90s, still not totally lost the bug), but Vengas are all of old, busted, slightly crap, and a whole raft of eurogaybiza.. if you know what i mean
( i also concur - tgpo, you ok? or just lathered? )
Until you're absolutely wasted on 3-for-1 shots at the student nightclub of course, and you start dancing to that kind of trash with all your mates, huge grins on your faces at the sheer badness of it.. yet it still has a rhythm and some kind of melody, so you dance.
and to "500 miles"

You can't really say that from where you're at. It's like a person in Oregon stating that pro-wrestling isn't popular in the States. You'll be surprised of where a big community of ravers would pop up at. People who take aerobic classes don't know it but they're actually closet techno fans when they're sweating and moving to the up-beat rhythms.Originally Posted by tgpo
Now, what fascinates me in this poll is that more people think it's the Venga Boys are gay (which they're not) but there were alot of "straight" rockers/metalheads back then that were hardcore fans of Queen and Judas Priest. It was common knowledge that both frontmen, Freddie Mercury and Rob Halford, were not "straight". How about Van Halen's ex-frontman David Lee Roth? You gotta wonder about him sometimes. He hasn't admitted that he's gay but he sure is a flamboyant in anything he does. It would be ironic if the people who selected the gay option in the poll actually owns a cassette/vinyl record/cd of Queen or Judas Priest.

DSI, to second guess TGPO, i think that option may have been using the third documented meaning of the word, after "bright, colourful, lively" and "male homosexual"... the general slang derogatory being twisted up in the same way as "wicked" meaning good.
As in an extra circle of badness underneath "dude, they suck!"
Each to their own.
Now, what about Rammstein.. and Erasure? (and S Club 7/Steps )

The Vengaboys????
Ohhh, We're Going To I-beet-zah!
Sad, very sad!
This was music for 7 year olds. Probably very big with the Radio Disney crowd. -
It always sounds like they sing "We're going to eat pizza"

Yeah, it does sound like "We're going for a pizza"!
If you are going to record a song, it helps if you know the pronunciation of the title first!! -
Anything's better than the Euro-trash they play here (that includes the Venga-boys) Last time I heard, they broke up.
-
Boom Boom Boom Boom, if only that was the sound of them exploding.
I clearly remember the song being adapted to
"i want them in this room" *ka-clik* "Boom boom boom boom! die mother fuckers!"
I was just about to bring that up.... what gives on that one?It always sounds like they sing "We're going to eat pizza"
It amazes me that that kind of shitty manufactured music, designed to be cool this week, and **** next week, actually gets enjoyed by someone simply on the merits of the music, without any of the marketing crap telling you how good they are.
The radio in this country isn't great either. or at least last time i turned one on it wasn't. i don't actually own a radio, or even a boombox/ghetto blaster with a tuner. not even a radio alarm clock! even the car i've just bought is sans radio!!
good thing for MTV2, amazons' "try this!" list and kazaa, eh? -

Listen to BBC Radio 2, the only decent station in the country!
-
Yeah, my room mate Phill always listens to jonathon woss on saturdays. occasionally i hear strains of a good song i recognise coming from his room too. I dunno, i just prefer my good ol' CD's.

Radio 4 is better.... and R1 for short bursts now and then (before they get a chance to repeat the playlist.. so evenings with stuff like the Session is good - no fixed PL and lots of newness - avoid commercial repeat-a-radio like the plague!!!). Still can't disrespect the 2 tho. Lots of very good driving music and sunday-morning "urrrrgh my brain" easy-going material to name just two reasons.
And damn, i'm only 21

Who? WHAT? Where who what? how? huh?
Never heard of 'em. -
Radio 1 would be ok if they got rid of that moronic Sarah Cox.

Sorry flaystus, seems to be a UK only discussion.
Due to the smallness of our nation our TV channels and radio stations get numbers.
TV goes
BBC1
BBC2
ITV (everyone calls it three, which is confusing now we have BBC3 on cable and sky)
Channel 4
Channel 5
and then the mess on cable and sky.
Similarly our radio goes
BBC Radio 1
BBC Radio 2
BBC Radio 3
BBC Radio 4
BBC Radio 5 Live Extra!!
and then crappy local stations, and then the digital mess like
BBC Radio 6 Music.
BBC Radio Asia (or whatever it's called)
BBC Radio 1 Extra! (or BBC Radio Black as i've heard it called)
and world service.
You can listen to most of the stations from www.bbc.co.uk
Tell you who pisses me off more, mary anne hobbs. she does the rock show, and is just awful. i ended up going to a raging speedhorn gig because she played something good and said it was "the horn" when it definitely wasn't! evil liar!!
