"U2" пишут лучшие песни "со смыслом"
2006/19/04 | 16:20
Песня ирландцев "U2" "One" возглавила список композиций с лучшими и наиболее значимыми, по мнению британской публики, текстами. Строку из песни "Одна жизнь, где все вокруг братья и сестры" ("One Life, With Each Other Sisters, Brothers") назвала своей любимой большая часть принявших участие в опросе меломанов.

На втором месте разместилась композиция "The Smiths" "How Soon Is Now", где слушателям особо нравятся такие строки: "Ты уходишь и остаешься один, и плачешь в холодной пустоте квартиры, потому что тебе хочется умереть". Высоко оценили британцы и творчество "Coldplay", в частности, их строки "Посмотри на звезды - они сияют для тебя" из "Yellow".

В двадцатку лучших попали также песни "Smells Like Teen Spirit" "Nirvana", "My Generation" "The Who", "Creep" "Radiohead", "Another Brick in the Wall" "Pink Floyd", "Bohemian Rhapsody" "Queen", "The Winner Takes It All" "ABBA" и другие.

Лучшим свежим пополнением цеха мастеров поэтического слова англичане посчитали своих соотечественников "Kaiser Chiefs" (в двадцатки, кстати, представлены в основном британские поэты-песенники): их "I Predict A Riot" разместился на почетном 18-м месте. В то же время британцы, кажется, начисто забыли о Джоне Ленноне и его "Imagine", которую совсем недавно назвали лучшей "песней мира" всех времен.

Приведенный телеканалом "VH1" список доказывает, что лучшие тексты принадлежат по традиции рок-музыкантам. На пятки им наступают рэпперы: появление в списке Эминема и Тупака со Снуп Доггом - тому подтверждение.

Ниже - список песен с лучшей лирикой:

1. U2 - "One" ("One Life, With Each Other Sisters, Brothers")

2. The Smiths - "How soon is Now" ("So You Go, And You Stand On Your Own, And You Leave On Your Own, And You Go Home, And You Cry, And You Want To Die").

3. Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ("I Feel Stupid And Contagious, Here We Are Now, Entertain Us").

4. Bob Marley - "Redemption Song" ("Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds, Have no fear for atomic energy, Cause none of them can stop the time").

5. Coldplay - "Yellow" ("Look At The Stars, Look How They Shine For You").

6. Eminem - "Lose Yourself" ("Look, If You Had One Shot Or One Opportunity, To Seize Everything You Ever Wanted, One Moment, Would You Capture It Or Just Let It Slip?").

7. Robbie Williams - "Angels" ("And Through It All She Offers Me Protection, A Lot Of Love And Affection, Whether I'm Right Or Wrong").

8. The Who - "My Generation" ("Hope I Die Before I Get Old").

9. Radiohead - "Creep" ("I'm A Creep, I'm A Weirdo, What The Hell Am I Doing Here? I Don't Belong Here").

10. Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On" ("Father, Father, We Don't Need To Escalate, You See, War Is Not The Answer, For Only Love Can Conquer Hate").

11. U2 - "Where The Streets Have No Name" ("I Want To Run, I Want To Hide, I Want To Tear Down The Walls, That Hold Me Inside").

12. Abba - "The Winner Takes It All" ("The Winner Takes It All, The Loser Standing Small, Beside The Victory, That's Her Destiny").

13. The Kinks - "Waterloo Sunset" ("Every Day I Look At The World From My Window, But Chilly, Chilly Is Evening Time. Waterloo Sunset's Fine").

непомню я источник...но этот сайтик случайно наткнулся...

ну может недалеким его фанам альбом и не понравился...

ROBBIE WILLIAMS is secretly recording a dance album – and plans to release tracks under a false name.

The singer has already been in the studio with dancefloor favourites the PET SHOP BOYS and also MADONNA’s super producer WILLIAM ORBIT.

He has recorded a couple of tracks with each of them and some others with hot New York-based DJ MARK RONSON.

Robbie told pals he wanted to make a “Kylie-style” album with more upbeat pop/dance tracks.

He is planning to release songs featuring the new sound under a pseudonym before putting the album out in August this year.
A source close to Robbie said: “Rob’s last album Intensive Care was much more rocky with heavy guitar riffs. Some people around him felt it might not have appealed so much to his camp pop audience. So he decided to do a dance album.

“Rob went into the studio with William Orbit to work on some tracks then also with Pet Shop Boys NEIL TENNANT and CHRIS LOWE.

“He wanted the album to have really upbeat songs like the ones Kylie had on Fever, such as Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.”

Orbit co-wrote and produced Madonna’s multi-million selling Ray Of Light album in 1998, which gave the Queen Of Pop a new electronica sound and reignited her career.

He also wrote the classic hit Pure Shores for recently reformed girl band ALL SAINTS.

The Pet Shop Boys are hot property too, doing a belting remix of Madge’s past single, Sorry, and with a new album of their own, Fundamental, out next month.

One music industry source who has heard Robbie’s newly recorded tracks described them as “brilliant and different”.

The new dance project comes on top of a busy year for the singer.

I told you yesterday how Robbie will turn up to perform with his old mates in TAKE THAT at some of their Manchester dates.

He is also rehearsing for his own world tour, which kicks off in Britain later this year.

And he’s training like mad for next month’s Soccer Aid.

Robbie is leading a team of footie-mad celebs in a televised pre-World Cup match to raise money for Unicef.

He will also perform a set at POSH and BECKS’ World Cup ball for charity.

My source added: “Rob has no idea how to relax, so he keeps himself busy with work.”

No Lazy Days ahead for Rob then.

Robbie Williams/ Ударился в регги

Робби возжелал перемен. Продал свой дом с 9-ю спальнями под Лондоном и заявил, что новый альбом всех ошарашит – певец запишет все песни в стиле регги. «За последнее время он так увлекся этой музыкой, у него в плеере постоянно играет диск Боба Марли», - сообщил источник, приближенный к певцу. «Это совершенно естественно, - объяснил Уильямс. – Я же постоянно балансирую между роком и попом. Вот и…» Альбом, который Робби намерен выпустить в октябре, будет называться «Intensive Care» («Интенсивный уход»). Прямо слоган из рекламы шампуня какой-то…
