Turkish Posted 12 December, 2011 Share Posted 12 December, 2011 Is it a prerequisite of being a professional footballer that you have to have shocking taste in music? Most of our lot Lalana and co seem to be into r&b or rap if you look at their twitter profiles which is quite simply music listened to by morons. Going back I remember Alan Hansen banging on about how much he loved Billy Joel back in his playing days. it certainly seems to me that despite trying to appear cool and having facial hair and tattoos what they listen to off the pitch leaves a lot to be desired.

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 12 December, 2011 Share Posted 12 December, 2011 Baker Street. For some reason all footballers from the early nineties liked "Baker Street". It was like a badge of honour for footballers of a certain generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what generation you were born into Turkish, but every era has it's own favourites. I grew up with Rock'n'roll.. the Hollies, Beach Boys, Moody Blues, Curved Air, YES, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.... and I also like Billy Joel ! ...along with some Italian Opera, Russian Classics, Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart and Frank Sinatra.....I'll stop there, but can you really expect a generation like Lallanas' and Co. to listen to /or appreciate anything other than the dross that's pumped out on every pop station by the hour. It's probably all they know. I enjoy most music, but for my part you can keep the ©rap music of today, thankfully I've got a lot more to choose from. Perhaps they haven't.

Webby Posted 12 December, 2011 Share Posted 12 December, 2011 I agree that R & B and rap is crap but what is good music? They probably all listen on their phones with their Dr Dre 'phones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted 12 December, 2011 Share Posted 12 December, 2011 I've got a lot more to choose from. Perhaps they haven't.well, there couldn't be more music to choose from nowadays, and it couldn't be easier to find new music what with iTunes, spotify, last.fm etc etc. They're not restricted to listening to radio 1 are they?

david in sweden Posted 12 December, 2011 Share Posted 12 December, 2011 (edited) well, there couldn't be more music to choose from nowadays, and it couldn't be easier to find new music what with iTunes, spotify, last.fm etc etc. They're not restricted to listening to radio 1 are they? I don't know - are they? There may be a lot of music to choose from .." nowadays " but the quality of much of it is "musically -speaking " very poor. Enough of the... " wrong sort of hype / advertising " can sell anything - as indeed it did years ago. I enjoyed listening to as much radio music as possible.. including people like Johnny Walker and Dave Lee Travis on Radio 1..the I made my own choices about taste. more ...Dusty Springfield, " a lot of " the Woodstock Generation, the Byrds, Hendrix, the Who... Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Carole King...and more... Edited 12 December, 2011 by david in sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 13 December, 2011 Share Posted 13 December, 2011 I sold Ken Monkou a copy of Leftism by Leftfield. He was also pretty much the only person in Southampton who bought Laser Discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
