      Thinking about your skills and keen eye and doing a search of what you have not covered I have to say Portishead. Dealers choice, it's all great. Probably since you do live to visualize the vocal work Roseland NYC is their most popular. That and I think you will love it and the fun is watching people getting joy out of the arts in reaction type videos. That and they are my single favorite band.

      You should check out more of The Darkness , Black shuck , Love is only a feeling , Bald. Are some good ones to start with. They're full glam rock , They take their music very seriously but not themselves , Hence why they can make fools of themselves in music videos. Much love from the UK. :)x

    The singer, Justin Hawkins, also has a very successful TH-cam channel called 'Justin Hawkins Rides Again'. He's a thoroughly charming fellow, and The Darkness are a great British rock band.

    I guess I’m going to have to be the one who breaks it to you, “bell’s end” or “bell end” is a British insult and slang for part of a part of the male anatomy. The fact they not only got away with releasing it, but having a kid’s choir sing it, is peak British.

      There are two tongue-in-cheek happenings in this song.
      Yes Bells End
      And…
      Ring Piece (not actually Ring Peace), the former meaning Anal Sphincter.
      Once you’re aware of this you can’t help smiling from start to finish as BellsEnd and RingPiece is sang over and over again.
      It’s similar to what the Sex Pistols did with Pretty Vacant. There is a deliberate separation of the two syllables of the second word. The original tongue-in-cheek way of getting the c-bomb played over the airwaves again and again.
      The other thing to consider here is… yes… Context.
      The English class system and long term hang over of Victorian values, both heavily oppressive and restrictive. Pretty Vacant knocks the legs from underneath that oppressiveness whilst laughing at it.
      Christmas time Bells End sits more on the together laughing at side of things.
      This really highlights that you should read about songs before you react to them, otherwise you’re in danger of completely missing the point of the song,

    Seriously, you’ll react to this trash but not people with talent? You keep saying “nice” …..to what exactly. They can’t carry a tune. Flat throughout. No, it was very amateurish but guess you don’t know the difference bring in opera.
