Ex-neighbours girl who has embarked on a music career like those before here. Except while she like most of them are good looking, she is the best singer of the lot by far. Take Holly Valance - good looking, but cannot sing for sh*t with that down boy crap. Holly is probably the best looking, but her videos are tasteless. Overall Delta is the best IMO.

You have to be kidding! Holly the best looking? hahaha her eyes are ******ed :P Delta is way better ;)
 
Yeah but that is to be expected! of course you arent going to look fantastic after chemo :P but in my opinion she will still be better than frog eyed Holly :D

If you want to send a Get well message to her.. you could try going there :D

why the hell would i want to send her a get well message??

I dont know her, have no intention of knowing her, and have no desire to anything to do with her.

So, why should I (or you) waste time sending her a get well message?

If you want to make someone feel better, use that altruism and go to a childrens cancer ward. Im sure they will appreciate it more.

So what singers/music do you like otaku & milkmaid?

I like music which wasn't written for the sole purpose of making the top ten, such as Franz Zappa, Tomahawk, Pink Floyd, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack, Tricky, most of the Jazz and blues legends. I also like some metal bands. Again, none of that top ten limp bizkit slice your a-s-s with a chainsaw crap. Real metal like Napalm Death, Slayer, Pantera Seputura. Go down your local pub, and you'll probably witness musicianship far superior to Delta Goodrems.

No one's telling you to. This thread is titled Delta Goodrem. If you are so against her, why did you a) open the thread up, and b) continue to post on here.
Me thinks thou does protest too much.

P.S. There's a reason those druggie bands both you & milkman (surprise surprise!)posted don't sell many records.
 
Yeah, good luck to the girl and all but did the Herald Sun really need to devote the entire front page to her plight, as if it were a personalised edition devoted to our own daughter or something?

Then again, it is the Herald Sun I suppose.

Its as though the Herald-Sun did an early obituary on the poor girl.

That's the media for you. ACA and TT have probably aired tribute episodes to her... :o

Maybe, that's the tabloid media in Melbourne for you...

All the Ballarat Courier did, by comparison, in today's editions, is put a photo in the upper lefthand corner of the front page and a small story on Page 2, no more than about 12 column inches (not counting the photo on that page as well).

As far as news value goes, that sounds about right. :)

Even still, you hate to see something like this happen to an 18-year-old. File this along the lines of "when bad things happen to good people", and here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

From what I've heard about her persona (and not about her as an entertainer), she seems to have a good head on her shoulders and seems better equipped mentally and emotionally to handle this than would most people her age, I'm assuming.

Another day, another full front page Herald-Sun spread of Delta G - two days in a row now :rolleyes:

Beats having more Bob Rose bull**** on the front pages.
I wonder if I'll suddenly become a great internet poster once I pass away.

*cough*

Maybe these bands are a bit before your time, I dont know.

go look up the sales records for pink floyd. They are the only band ever to have and album that stayed in the top 100 for over 10 consecutive years.

Hendrix doesnt need me to defend him.

S.O.A.D. are currently making new sales records all the time :D

I am not even giong to bother explaining the others

Atleast get your facts straight before you start fishing :D

She's got heaps of talent and is a very good music artist.

(As well as a good looker.) ;)

Get well soon Delta and best wishes.
Talent or product? Or don't you know the difference?
 
Come on Milkman & Otaku, if you want "out there" bands, how about these?

Velvet Underground
Capt. Beefheart & his Magic Band
King Crimson
Stooges
Big Brother & the Holding Company
Spirit
Jefferson Airplane (NOT Jefferson Starship)
Country Joe & the Fish
The Flatlanders
Kapt. Kopter & his Fabulous Twirleybirds
Tangerine Dream
 
I had a laugh at the reports that Delta's 'fans' are buying up on her CD's to help her fight against cancer. These people, or morons as I like to call them, obviously don't realise that the majority (around 98%) of money gained from CD sales goes to the record company.

Idiots!

ps. Mind you, I'm sure the Govt wouldn't mind fronting the medical bills for such an Aussie icon. Isn't this exactly what Medicare was meant for?

There's a reason some of this bands are relatively unknown. Country Joe and the Fish? Those dudes with hippy stuff painted in their cheeks. King Crimson? Robert Fripp not a bad guitarist, and the other dude went on to Roxy Music or something. Don't mind Big Brother &THC, but Jefferson Airplane? Laughable!

I don't deliberatley go looking for "out there" bands. I listen to what I like :rolleyes:

Damn I hate the velvet underground. I love captain beefheart, don't like king Crimson and am indifferent to the stooges. Jefferson Airplane are ok. I have not heard the other bands you listed.

Otaku, sorry if you read my previous, now deleted post. I put the wrong quote in, so It wasn't aimed at you.

BB, I'd say that the bands I listed have not travelled through time well, whereas bands such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, JH & the Experience etc., created music AND mood AND style which has left them almost immortal.

Part of that immortality is because they appealed to a wide audience, the bands I listed mainly appealed to a narrow cross section of the more fanatic music connoisseur, hence an even smaller fan base some 30 odd years later.

Your comment about them being relatively unknown though, is a challenge to educate I cannot pass by.

Velvet Underground - A street savvy, hard edged Lou Reed focussing on the life, times and demimonde of New York. John Cale lets his avant-garde classical roots temper some of VU's rougher edges. Nico was an alluring beauty, who could whisper lyrics, or murmur them, always seemingly artfully. Sterling Morrison's guitar work was representative of the step between folk strumming, and punk thrashing. While Maureen Tucker had a beat that never dominated, but always supported the music.

Capt. Beefheart & his Magic Band - Don Van Vliet worked with talents such as Ry Cooder & Frank Zappa, to create an influence that pervades 1960's music and beyond. He didn't create hits, he created an attitude & style.

King Crimson - Yes Robert Fripp dominated, but he was smart enough to allow others to contribute, AND shine. Side-men like Lake, Belew, Cross, Wetton, Burrell, Bruford, Levin & Muir wont stand aside without having an influence. Unashamedly King Crimson is one of my favourites.

Stooges - You may not like them, but by hell the rock'n'roll world could never ignore them. To me Iggy Pop has been an institution rather than a musician. Listen to their albums, prepare to be confronted, maybe even assulted.

Big Brother & the Holding Company - Not knowing about this group of drugged up hippies, is like admitting to not knowing who Neil Armstrong is. This is all about Janis Joplin, she dominates here, just as her persona still dominates female rock'n'roll musicians today.

Spirit - Yes, Spirit is obscure, but don't discount them because of this. In the very VERY early days, Randy California (Spirits lead guitarist) jammed and played with Jimi Hendrix, whose influences on Randy are ever so noticable. Do yourself a favour, get "The 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus", it's a tightly held together experimental album, it's "out there", it's rough, it's a challenge, not for everyone though.

Jefferson Airplane (NOT Jefferson Starship) - Yep, they were flower power drugged up hippies, but by hell they could put together one hell of a sound, Try out Volunteers, Surrealistic Pillow and After Bathing At Baxter's. All magical experiences from the 60's Woodstock'ish times.

Country Joe & the Fish - This band had so much influence, not because of its music, but because what they did with it. Joining with Jane Fonda on a revue called FTA (Fu.. The Army), initiating the F..U..C..(you know what comes next) chant used in anti war rallys, concerts etc.. Dismiss them as musicians, MAYBE, but never ignore them as a "happening" and an influence.

The Flatlanders - Only for lovers of serious country music, just the one album, the band practically only lasting the studio time needed. But by hell, the outcome lives on blazing brightly.

Kapt. Kopter & his Fabulous Twirleybirds - A one album invention of the previously mention Randy California. This album belts at you, reminiscent of some of Blackmore's Rainbow.

Tangerine Dream - This group makes me think of say King Crimson's love child. Certainly not for everyone, but I like it.

Hope this gives some useful info, maybe inspiring you to try some different flavours of music....:D
