Take That

I'm pretty embarrassed about saying this, but I think they're great songwriters and vocalists... :oops: I've never been a fan of boybands, but I think they've done some great songs.

Back For Good is my favourite song by them:

I like the songs they've released recently as well, since reforming.

I'll sit back and wait for the criticism and negative comments to roll in... :tongue:

Yeah, there music is annoyingly nice. It's harmless to listen to. I prefer hearing their music now, rather than when they were big in the 90's.

Although, ever since he left Take That I've been a big fan of Robbie Williams.

The songs are well-crafted and well performed, but they are a little too bland for my tastes...

It would be morally wrong to mock the afflicted.

But at least admitting that you have a problem is half the battle. Good luck.

Ok, I'll rephrase - good vocalists who occasionally write good songs. That's what I should have really written in the first place. :roll:

The strange thing is that in many ways, Take That's audience these days are the same people who followed them in the early to mid 1990s when they were the classic "boy band". Their audience has "grown up" with them.

Harmonically unimpressive fluff.

I started to listen to it, but it quickly turned it off for fear that someone would come into my room and see me listening to it.

Their music is inescapingly bland, subdued and to me boring. I clicked on the link to have a listen, but within a minute found I had unknowingly/without realising it, left my study and gone to the kitchen to make tea. My mind had moved on to other priorities. :wink:

you should check the music topic and get a good breath of inspiration from there and go beyond to refine your musical tastes
