Does anyone here like the Seekers?

[raskolnikov]

I'll probably cop a bit of flak for this but I do. My favourite songs:

Georgie Girl
The Carnival is Over
A World of Our Own
Morningtown Ride

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Yeah i don't mind some of their songs.

Nice easy listening folk music has it's place in an eclectic music fans collection.

 

[SunKing]

I think they're quite respectable and i like the tunes you listed,particularly Georgie Girl and Morningtown Ride.

 

[Contra Mundum]

I heard an interview with Steve Bucknor once and he raved about the Seekers and how much he loved them - how can someone who comes from the land of Peter Tosh and Bob Marely love the seekers!!!!

How black is he?

Consider yourself copping some flak.

Just have bad memories of a visiting teacher in Grade 3 bringing in his guitar and playing Morningtown Ride to us, he was going on New Faces and i think he did the same song. Most of the kid's obviously thought it was wonderful, but 2 or 3 of us felt like puking up.

Bahahaha, sorry, but the Seekers are so lame.

 

[MagpieScouser]

i used to think they were lame but ill give them credit some of theyre songs are cool

i wanna hear a death metal version of' georgy girl'

 

[diesel and dust]

i actually like a LOT of music that would be considered 'uncool' by my friends and foes alike (air supply,bread,smokie,little river band,leo sayer,reo speedwagon,frente')


But i never really liked the seekers.......but i respect what they achieved. Were a bit of a pioneer in Oz music

Their rendition of 'I am Australian' is pretty good. And Judith Durham has a great voice.

I'm betting most of the people in this thread are over 40.

There's been a sorta punk version done by the Flying Lizards.

I love Someday, Oneday
I think The Carnival Is Over and World Of Our Own are very good.
I have Myra, Myra on a single, think it was my parents'. And a best of vinyl.
Georgy Girl and Morningtown ride I can't handle too well.
They were pioneers for sure and Judy had a great voice.

Nope, just diverse tastes in music.

Mornington Ride is a great song.. Did they write it?

That wasn't by the Seekers was it? I thought it was Judith Durham and a few others (kind of a one-off supergroup setting). I Am Australian is a good song, very well-written.

I just don't dig the soft rock genre. There are a few good songs out there but I don't know if I could handle a full album by such an artist.
