Just curious,

We all have our favourite songs/styles of music but Cecil always liked to mix the music during the 'fast' sets and I'm just wondering, what did you do when a song you disliked was played?  Did you sit down?, just grin and bear it? or did you 'dance' to it?  I would consider myself a 'rocker' I suppose, but I remember songs by Simple Minds, Joy Division, The Ruts, the Cure, growing on me and I remember dancing (for want of a better term) to songs by those bands amongst others....thats one of the things that appealed to me about the Grove - the great music mix down there...

I pretty much liked all the music but I was never a dancer - more a people watcher even in my later years! Still love to go home and take a walk up Grafton Street just to people watch.

Never much dancing going on out in the Compound, or the Courtyard or whatever it's called, eh Teresa ?

Nice topic Mel and have to agree. Like yourself, the heavy stuff would've been my first preference but all of Cecil's choices had something going for them ( except  " You know Who " of course ).

Rolo, who's "you know who"??????????

I agree with Mel. I didn't like some of the "non rock" stuff in the beginning but after a few weeks of listening to it, it grew on you.

Teresa, I used to watch people while I was dancing. Just in case the good lookin' ones were hiding on the dance floor!!!

Yes, there were some wee tunes now that wouldn´t have appealed but I either stood around watching to see who and how the shapes would be thrown, or would head out for a fag.

There was one song I couldn´t stand and that was " Come on Eileen"..just drove me nuts. Handy he played it at the end cos that was my signal to leggit out of the hall before those lights came on.

I have a pet hat of having my feet trod on and I always remember the docks coming down heavy on that one...ouch...!!

Don't remember too many songs that annoyed me except two

"My Ding A Ling" by Chuck Berry and "Mouldy Old Dough" by Lieutenant Pidgeon circa winter '72.

When these were played it was out to the jacks or for a coke !!

But Cecil always redeemed himself later with a Quo song or some other rocker


May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I must say there were some songs that I was not mad about to begin with eg The Joker by Steve Miller Band or Phil Collins 'In the Air tonight ' (I know that was a slow one). Generally I liked most songs even if wasn't mad about the band overall. I suppose you could call these Guiltly Pleasures ie uncool songs that just seemed to work. I would put Come on Eileen by Dexys in that boat. Another one was Run to You by Bryan Adams - great to mosh to and stamp your foot, but would never be moved to buy one of this albums. Strange how Cecil always seemed to know what fitted and what didn't.
