Lightning Seeds

Awful.

(Last post from me on the subject. I don't actually approve of laying into other people's taste in music. However it does seem strange to me that the Lightning Seeds are remembered fondly, when as far as I can see most of their hits are as facile as anything by Scouting for Girls.)

so much hatred !

i used to like the tunes the lightning seeds used to do, however you've gotta remember that was 15 years ago that jollification came out, music tastes have changed loads since then. As for now, im not really a fan of any bands that sound like the lightning seeds but have fond memories of listening to the album when it first came out. for old times sake id probably go and see them

The Lightning Seeds... (insert any positive adjective here) no matter who you are, you have been influenced by their music.

They helped shape the 90's alt. rock scene along with happy mondays, rem, pulp... and not only that, they were instilled in the nation's footballing psyche.

NUFF SAID... I'll be there :lol:

Really??? I remember buying the CD single as if it was yesterday! (Still got it, wonder if it's worth anything!)

I think if they are scheduled right (and glasto tends to be good at that sort of thing) and they get a slot at a time where people are in the mood for familiar, unchallenging pop (with some fairly poetic lyrics) then it'll be great!

Certainly most of their back catalogue are crowd-pleasers I imagine!

    • Geese playing for 1:20 instead of just an hour was a lovely surprise. The energy was great!
    • Oh well that's why then, I assumed it was still the same. Thanks!
    • Think this will be it...I think they are a level above trees.
