The Spice Girls movie was quite good.  |

She sang the bridges, as well as the 1st voice in the choruses' main lines. In fact, she and Mel B were the most featured soloists in the first album; Mel C would have her chance for teh second. I sound like a SG expert, don't I?
Kind regards.

Yes, you do. We'll only worry about it when you start to argue their prog credentials, and how they should be on PA..

You are from the land of Hoyre-Kone and Discordia. let me tell you that the Spice Girls' sophomore effort "Spice World" is their best, more varied, with a majorp resence of effective vocal harmonies and an enhanced protagonism of Melanie C, the one with the most peculiar and powerful singing. There is also more confidence in Geri's deliveries - she was the least accomplished singer of the five, although her stamina and pop-persona definitely helped the band to sound attractive on record and appealing on stage.
Kind regards. |
I did have Spice World too, but I succeeded in selling it. I don't think I've heard anything by Höyry-Kone or Discordia. Are they as good as Spice Girls?

I see you didn't enjoy that one as much. Well, those aforesaid bands are real prog bands. They are listed in PA with lots of positive reviews for their respective albums. Hoyry-Kone was a "predecessor" of Alamailman Vasarat (I'm conviced I've totally mispelled it).
Kind regards.

No, I'm not like those avid fans of Talk Talk or Kate Bush (great music!!) who have the urgent need to seem them listed side by side with yes, KC, PF et al. You won't see me proposing Ultravox or Japan for the Archives (someone else did it...).
But... thinking about it... aren't those initial layers of keyboards and vocals of 'Vive Forever' kind of proggy? Just kidding, just kidding,...

Their own lightweight recreation of The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" - I watched it twice at the cinema two weeks before the 'Stop' videoclip blew me away. It was like falling in love fluidly at a fast, yet sustained pace.
Kind regards.

Progheads my arse Since the thread started, over 150 visits! Seriously though, I like "Spice Up Your Life". It's kind of "spacey" (perhaps "starry"  ). And that's the only tune I'll ever give them credit for...

'Spice up Your Life' is kind of a homage to mid-90s Ricky Martin with a basis of piano-and-bass (inherited from the 'Wannabe' hit) and instilled with strong techno-pop sounds. Weird in its own terms of pop instant simplicity.
Kind regards.

That was bizarre! A slang for 'having sex' was a vital part of the lyrics to a song that was an instant classic among female infants everywhere. Let's not forget the 'get it on' and 'put it on' (the condom) in '2 Become 1'.
A similar phenomenon occurred with Cindy Lauper's 'She Bop'. It all dates back to Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti' (an ode to free gay sex) and 'Lucille' (who was a transexual, not an actual woman) - he started it all in teh art of inserting questionable messages in pop music culture.
Kind regards.

I thought it meant cigarette. Oh well. You need something dirty I guess.
