A Misunderstood Man and Had To Be with ONJ were class, the project stank but not because of the songs.
Disappeared last week. Has been temporarily taken off air to upgrade capacity & coverage or something. Supposedly will be back later but no mention of when, unfortunately.
I had managed to block out the reggae onslaught of 1993 from my mind but it's starting now with Shaggy, Snow and the odious Shabba Ranks, ultimately leading to the twin horrors of Pato Banton and Bitty McLean... *shudder* Bring on Eurodance and quick!
"If I stopped to think about The good times that we shared I could fool myself believing That somehow love, love was still there" Most SAW tracks didn't bother with a middle 8. They just had an instrumental verse after the 2nd chorus.
Yes, about 10 channels have gone. Not sure how many (if any) will return. I've lost all the freeview channels from my HDD/DVD combo anyway, so watch/record everything via glorious analogue.
I absolutely despised reggae at the time, although as I've got older I don't mind it so much when it's cross-pollinates into other things. I guess it just sort of sounded really naff to 10-year old Scottish schoolboy ears miles and miles removed from anywhere where there is cultural ties to the sound. That said, I really really have a soft spot for "Sweat (A la, la, la, la, long)"
