I always liked that one, but I could see nobody here did.

Come off it. The Sugarhill Gang are one of rap's founding fathers. Poor choice to kill them off while cheesy shit like the current bottom three stay on.

This may or may not be true but Lene Lovich was better.

I will not come off it, mostly because rightly or wrongly, I bloody hate rap. with a passion.

And don't blame me alone, it's not like I'm the only one downvoted it.

Yes, yes indeed it was. And I don't much like that track either :P

 

Edit. Oh and you'll notice I'm not voting at all on 2010 stuff. It wouldn't be right (at least until I did the work to listen to them all).

So much today is rap, or covers that 'rap things up' that I genuinely cant be arsed.

The John whatsisface track is pretty much the only one of those i know, and that because of the video.

 

Further edit: I detest cheesy stuff as well, so there's that. So there.

A funny decade the 70s, a lot of diverse musical styles (more than any other decade? maybe), "easy listening", classical, metal, electronic, punk/new wave, rap, disco.country and probably a few more all making the charts.

IIRC Clorox comprehensively proved you wrong on this point in the What Are You Listening To thread.

 

But we agree that Lene Lovich was a load of crap.

Not exactly "comprehensively", but in fairness despite my promises to the contrary I've still not done the work to listen to the stuff he took the time to point out. My bad.

I've got a fair few 'younger generation' friends with cars that I get lifts to drinking holes in - and the stuff I'm subjected to, ugh....Though that's not scientific either since maybe I just have friends with terrible (to my ear) tastes.

 

Are you denying 'there's a lot of rap' about though? Because I hear a lot.

Anyway, whatever, I downvoted it. Deal with it. :P
