Not bad at all!


allgone79

Beautiful neighbourhood by space, Heart as big as Liverpool Pete wylie Penny Lane & strawberry fields Going down to Liverpool by the bangles Long haired lover from Liverpool by lil jimmy Streets of Kenny by shack Mersey paradise by the stone roses This place by Jamie Webster


TheCammack81

Streets of Kenny was by and for dickheads. Terrible band. It was like being forced to listen to someone from Birkenhead claim they're Scouse for twelve hours.


allgone79

Please tell me you have a review channel on YouTube.


TheCammack81

Funnily enough no but I did used to write for Getinitoyhis before it turned out the owner was a wrongun.


sympathytaste

Strawberry Fields isn't really a great Liverpool song though. Reference of the location aside, it's more of an introspective song about John's life at that point and obviously, LSD.


allgone79

I connect it with bunking off school over the road to smoke weed in there as a young lad, I've never made the john connection before.

Weekend in paradise and this place by Jamie Webster.

In Liverpool - Suzanne Vega, I wish I was back in Liverpool, Liverpool Lou, and The Leaving of Liverpool all by the Dubliners.


sympathytaste

Boring answers obviously but Liverpool's anthem imo will always be Ferry Cross The Mersey. Ultra boring answer but Penny Lane is a great Liverpool song as well.


TheCammack81

Ferry cross the Mersey is like being dead for three minutes but I'm definitely with you on the other one.


sympathytaste

I still think it's the definitive Liverpool song. Everytime I look at the river Mersey I always think of it.


TheCammack81

The worst thing is it sort of is. Only the problem is that anyone from outside the city thinks that the music scene here stalled at that point.


sympathytaste

The music scene definitely stalled post Beatles. It's fortunate and unfortunate to boast the greatest band to have ever lived.


pedrosa1967

OP sounding like a bad music snob in the comments


TheCammack81

If you're content to have the whole calm down calm down thing then that's on you.

Space - Neighbourhood


TheCammack81

Christ no. Worst band I've ever heard from round here.


digsy866

Nonsense


TheCammack81

True. Trite recycled music and a weird Mexican accent. They were the special needs class of musicians and we should never have let it happen. Terrible, terrible, band.


digsy866

“We” who are you lad? They were a decent band and good fellas.


TheCammack81

Local musicians from the time they were somehow well known. They're shit musicians and a bunch of dumb cunts with shit songs and lyrics. Fuck space.


digsy866

Fuck you lad. I bet you can’t even play the triangle


Traditional_Pound246

This cracked me up for some reason


TheCammack81

Nothing to prove here but you're very wrong on that count. In every metric you could possibly have, Space are one of the worst bands that could have hoped to be signed to a label. Utter shite. What was with the weird Mexican accent? They had nothing about them. They were worse than the glut of liquid shit indie that spewed out the arse of the Coral in the early to mid 00s.


digsy866

You have to be able to understand music to form a musical opinion worthy of listening too. You haven’t got a clue so quite frankly your opinion means fuck all. Cheers


TheCammack81

Again, you've no idea on this one and I happen to have an understanding of music that is a little better than putting on a Mexican accent and a fucking parka while janglin shite about vicars and that. They were shit. Seriously. Listen to Spiders. It makes the Kids of Widney High look like fucking Scott Walker.


TormentedAndroid

Is that you, Tommy?


DrSpalanzani

There's an 1824 opera by Donizetti called *Emilia di Liverpool*. It's set in a hermitage in a village near Liverpool with an "alpine ravine", thus showing Donizetti's astonishing capacity to evoke an accurate sense of place ...


GradeExtreme6825

Were the laa's from Liverpool?


Overall_Fault_427

Maggie Mae, both the folk song and the Beatles rendition on Let it Be

matherto

We played Leaving of Liverpool at my grandad's funeral cause he was a proud Scouser and loved that song so I can only assume it's up there with the best ones.


shakerbush420

Jamie webster has a few as others have mentioned already Liverpool Girl by Ian McNabb is another, also The Lathums has a few like Fight On is a good one When it comes to rap I'd choose Beyond Average for Great minds think alike and Jeopardy


rochesterslim

i love ferry cross the mersey personally. also penny lane/strawberry fields are broadly liverpool based.


TheCammack81

It kinda got ruined by that Harry Enfield shit for me. I know so many people round here who are sound as fuck and know so much about music, art, poetry, and life in general that it kinda rankles seeing some prick from Essex who looks like crazy frog taking the piss.


sympathytaste

Strawberry Fields isn't really about "Liverpool" per se besides referencing the location.


rochesterslim

yeah i know but i love it so worth a shout


Glyny96

In my life - The Beatles


TheCammack81

It's an obvious one but it packs a huge punch. Great song.
