Sorry Saveman but you seriously need Saved if you utter the words "I like Chris De Burgh" He is bad
Well that's me told!
I likes it. I was dancing a merry jig round my old sofa when it came on dat dare Wireless. Why I almost broke a sweat. They are quite a good beat combo and I think them cats are crazy.
Chris de Burgh? Isnt he Alistair Darling in Disguise? Have you ever seen the 2 of them in the same room?:lol:
So you'll be dancer then Hotrod! ;)Quote:

Will never be the same since my other half has put some dubious new words to it. Some might consider it better but I don't think they are suitable for printing here!
"are we humans or are we...............Gangsters?"
"are we humans or are we...............Chancers?
"are we hummin or are we...............mingers?
[lol]
Is this a poll hotrod? Do we have to vote for which one we think ya is? [lol] ;)Quote:

Hotrod4= romancer :Razz
From the first few bars, I thought it was David Byrne singing. Their last album sounded like TV Smith, and they were like Springsteen at some point before that. Positively chameleon-like.

You may not like him and you may not like his story telling style but to answer your question there is lots right with Chris de Burgh.Quote:

Geo, I will say this - Mr De Burgh's story-telling is one of his best qualities as a musician, and it seems a lost art these days. Many of my favourite artists are adept at portraying a story through song.
However, the music of Chris De Burgh, in my opinion, is more like listening to Jackanory to a backing of cheap Casio keyboards and softly-strummed acoustic guitars.
He's certainly no match for Peter Hammill or the misspelled Van Der Graaf Generator in those stakes. ;).
