Amoeba have you ever considered doing What’s in My Bag with hDave Wakeling of the English Beat? He has a great mix of influences from interviews I’ve seen.

Nice!!

Have you ever asked Courtney Love , Joan Jett, Karen O or Meg White to do a What's In My Bag ? video ? I'm a fan of all these Rock Icons, from London UK.

they were not alternative, maybe for one record. They were a pop band

@@Captain_Rhodes sorry, but five of their albums that were released during the 80s were fairly experimental, despite the (deserved) hit aspect of some of the songs... they were smart players first and foremost; although they never quite fitted into any of the 70s movements, they found their ideal home experimenting in the aftermath of punk... like many of their contemporaries, they became part of the establishment and ruled the pop charts, yes, but Eurythmics were in many ways essentially a leftfield duo with the esquisite ear for a catchy melody, placed within a fairly avant-garde setting... adding to it their many b-sides that audibly testify in favour of the experimental side of things... Collaboration with DAF, Can, Green of Scritti Politti and Chris & Cosey do add to the fact Eurythmics were more than just a "pop" band... successful commercially yes - but just as daring and definitely pushing the envelope. Annie's gender bending tactics were definitely subversive and in that, pretty alternative... Most of the collaborators throughout their career (be it musicians or producers) came from the underground music scene.

@@antunivanovic ok well to me they were pop apart from the garden album which was quite indie electronic. They had some on that stuff on later records but it got less and less with be yourself tonight etc. My comment wasnt a criticism. I am a fan. I thought Annie Lennox looked amazing, like a white grace jones. I didnt say pop as a put down, its just how i hear them

@@Captain_Rhodes no worries, I never said you were criticising... I just feel that people take Eurythmics too lightly most of the time, viewing them as a pop act per se... as said, they were commercially successful but they were fairly independent in most of their output (recording, production wise, etc.) which fairly places them in the independent league... show business aside, "Be Yourself Tonight" is one of their albums they recorded (again) independently, away from the commercial studio, on their own... The word "alternative" these days may also seem a bit overblown because people still tend to use that tag in the context of groups like Bauhaus, or say, The Jesus And Mary Chain... What was once "indie", had long become the establishment... And no, "In The Garden" wasn't "quite indie electronic"... it was underlined with synths, yes, but in many ways it is their out-on-out electric album with a cold, quiet feel - and with avant-garde leanings, considering who they worked with on it... Definitely stands out from all of their other discography, I agree... a masterpiece alone in its full glory. But considering how they pushed the envelope and tempered with the establishment of the times, Eurythmics, among many others at that time, WERE essentially "alternative"... their commercial success is only a suitable reward, paying off for all their innovation and all the hard work.

@@antunivanovic I dont take them lightly, well sometimes I do. But i dont put them in the same category as a band like Take That or something who are obviously pop. I take your points. My personal definition of pop includes bands like the cars and blondie who I also have a lot of respect for musically and intellectually. My version of pop isnt boring is what im saying. But yea if someone tried to compare them to a band like Take That (who i dont despise completely) I would be on your side

I met Scott Walker, Billy Bragg, Brian May and Robin Gibb when I was a shop manager in Kensington High St. in the mid 1990's...but the nicest person I ever served was Bob Geldoff. A really really sweet man, very self effacing and down to Earth. I helped him pick out some wrapping paper and he was so grateful. We are all flawed when it comes to the right wrapping paper. Brett Anderson on the other hand was a painful human being to be around....such is the life of the shop assistant.

I met George Michael in a men's toilet. Top bloke.

@@nathanbellamy3308 😂 👍

Good luck with that. People unfortunately no longer want to pay for music. A whole entitled generation expects to have it for free. Which is the end

No, Marvin Gaye is not, nor has he ever been, underrated. Maybe this doesn't mean much to a younger generation, but "What's Going On" was picked as Rolling Stone magazine's best album ever, supplanting, finally, "Sgt. Peppers." Now that was an overrated album.

@@johnfulmer4058 You’re telling me The Beatles - ‘Sgt. Pepper’ is an “overrated album”? In what possible way do you think Sgt. Pepper is overrated?

Love that song.

Another saxon, brilliant

All of the above... Amen, brother.

Thanks mate!

Like Kane I've never heard someone be complimented and totally trashed all in the same sentence! tell me, what have you done with your life??

@@vinylcity1599 Like Kane never replied to your message.

I wonder which one of them had the biggest dick

Annie: Sweet dicks are made like these. *Boing!*

So true. Stewart seems a wanker

@Simon Simon - I do hope that’s true…👍😆
