Keane

I always liked Keane in a sort of 'they're inoffensive' sort of way, nice voice, smashing lyrics, etc.

But I just heard them do 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' and for even attempting to hold a candle to the original, they should be shot with a twelve gauge loaded with their own shite. :evil:

Best Of The Walker Brothers is one of the errmmmm..best things I ever bought and one of the hardest to leave at home when I moved. Montague Terrace is fantastic and one of the few I've heard covered (by The Family Cat) that did the Walker Brothers version any justice.

Heatseeker riff, deep vocals! Has to be heard really... :laugh:

I can only remember the first verse and chorus...

"I've got a wife, shes 45,
She is more Dead than Alive,
We've got 2 kids, They're pasty and White,
we watch the TV Every night

Chorus
Meet The Family, yes sir-ee
Meet the Family what a tragedy
Meet the Family on the BBC
Cutting down, the Family Tree

The rest of it was about game shows, American TV and Couch Potatoes. We were very young!

Ah well we've all done it, we had an album track called 'Country and Eastern.' How laconic were we??? :roll:

Like a lot of bands these days. Just dull. Background music for dead heads.

Aah, well if you were hip and trendy and 'down wif the yoof' you'd know what was on the binatone, n'est-ce pas??

I never said Keane were good or bad, I said they didn't offend me in passing. You must have spent quite a bit on them to have such a strong opinion eh?? :razz:

:sweet:

can't get away with them myself either - they'll knock out three or four albums that all sound the same and then hopefully welcome to the board.

rehab as well - come on - fookin mammy's boy

Keane's cover of U2 with or without you on the live lounge CD is truly bad.
and the pianist fella writes songs for gwen stefani. but I can't quite dislike them...don't know why

Their second album, Under The Iron Sea, is COMPLETELY and 100% different from "Hopes And Fears". And loads better given time.

still all sounds the same to me ECG - thing is though when you dont like a band you really dont like em

When I saw the heading for this thread thought 'Is it about Roys transformation of a failing Sunderland' or 'Robbies goal and subsequent sending off against Spurs'

Could possibly have added some comment on either of those. Don't know a thing about this music ensemble thing called Keane.

They are jazz musicians of some notoriety apparently.

Listen ladies:

Its not bad music................just dull.

Why do SOOOOOOOOOO many people like dull music?

Because they eat what they're fed. The music policy on state controlled radio and television here is more relaxed than that at the BBC. And what the BBC does today, the rest of the media does tomorrow.

It's your licence fee, do something about it. :roll:
