In its defence I think that’s deliberately an oddity where Damaged are playing with a straight bat as it were.

I thought Rolf's Stairway to Heaven was hilarious, but that was before we knew the truth.....

Me too. They do get a lot of snobby elitist derision.

No - the last remaining Village Person says he'll sue anyone who suggests they're gay in any way. I mean what twisted liberal would interpret YMCA, In the Navy, Macho Man and Fire Island as in any way gay. And nobody could reasonably interpret an album title 'Cruisin' as meaning anything at all.Very close.
They also made a decent fist of the Village People's "Go West."
Hang on...Am I allowed to use "fist" and "Village People" in the same sentence these days?

What kind of twisted liberal would tell a black artist what they mean?
I guess we’re all in the Trump era now Arch?

Awful cover. An insult to one of the great rock songs and bands.Of course, Hayseed Dixie's cover of "Ace of Spades" runs it close.
“Ma heart was broken. saroo, saroo”
Ma ears are bleedin’
I think they are shite, Good effort on a song they claim they had never heard. My hole.
Its Paddy and Dudge!

Fleetwood Mac.Oh well
The original.
I know. It's easy to hate Coldplay. But that shouldn't stop you.
It is indeed a tune. One that has been lodged in my head as an ear worm for weeks since hearing it one Thursday evening in Tesco. It's got to the point where I need to take off and nuke Coldplay from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.Still waiting ………….

Can I ask, as a matter of interest, what people don’t like about coldplay :-
1 Chris Martin
2 Their obvious popularity worldwide
3 The lyrics
4 The instrumental ability
5 They don’t fit in with what they perceive to be good
6 All of the above .
p.s. has anyone ever changed their opinion about anything when engaging in debates on forums about anything ?

I don't mind them tbh.
There are worse bands going around.
But they do nothing adventurous musically.
Me too, I've heard far worse

Does anyone though?
Good point Joe. Many of them find the formula that works, then keep churning out variations of it. Few reinvent themselves regularly in the way the likes of David Bowie did back in the day, sadly.

Bit of an outsider when it comes to Coldplay as I have honestly only heard two songs by them, Yellow and now Sunshine on Leith. I know, sheltered life.
Don't understand the OTT criticism of this SoL cover. Nowt wrong with it in my opinion.
My liking of the whole thing surrounding the gig, which is on BBC Scotland tonight
is less about the song but the mention of Hibernian fans singing it and the Proclaimers being great. Charlie and Craig have the full text of what was said on their Facebook page and with Coldplay having 40-50 million followers, like me knowing virtually nowt about Coldplay, I suspect that there are millions of their followers equally know nowt about the brothers, but may be curious now. Likewise I suspect many of them who hang onto their heroes every words may be tempted to fire onto the couple of videos of the rendition at Hampden?
Free publicity on both counts.

Hmmm, I always felt their sound was defined by Knopfler’s instantly recognisable guitar playing. Having said that, I love some of his post-Dire Straits music.Thought Dire straits were quite versatile

My thoughts exactly, and regarding my post on another thread regarding possible new ownership, my reference to M&G would be Chris Martin and Bill Gates when their version takes off around the world
