The Darkness tribute thread

[OneLittleFish]

The second album was awful, granted, but 'Permission To Land' - what an album!

This is a little thread for those not ashamed to admit that they like a bit of Growing On Me and Love Is Only A Feeling on a Friday night

Hawkins is still not amused by Eavis' comments, saying "Eavis just didn't want us to play because he didn't think we'd still be around."

get your hands off my woman motherfuuuuuucker!

the first album was amazing. then they started to think they were actually a serious band rather than a novelty act and that's where it all went wrong.

genius album. was actually thinking as i went back to work yesterday that i should listen to it. and once 'a hard days night' is finished, this is going on

going to download the second one as well actually. can't be that bad if they created a beast like this!

[MrZigster]

Agreed. Up there with Back in Black afaic, though I get funny looks from most rock fans when I state that.

[sifi]

The rock fans are probably wondering why you are comparing it to acca dacca's fifth best album?

I liked the xmas song, but the Bo Selector song was better.

Not bothering to vote as I really don't care.

Loved them at the time but had a listen a few months back and it hasn't really aged well. I do know every song off by heart though since someone brought a cd player on a weekend away with school and had two cds, permission to land and the mark tom and travis show!

They should've been included somewhere in the Total Guitar mags riffs of the decade for sure.

Mr. Brightside by The Killers number 9. First time Ive seen a riffless song make a best riffs list.

Its like awarding Robert Miles "Children" a best lyrics award.

Yet again, journalism proves its in the bin as a profession.

[ampersand]

Remember when David Bowie had to cancel TITP who headlined - I liked em on album but it was far too early for that.

The Leeds headlining slot - when they were actually booked as headliners - had a few songs that had no lyrics, and were generally unfinished. Except for that it was a lot of fun.

"Bring Me Some Meat" was a personal favourite

I didn't know they were booked as headliners there! That pain of missing out on Bowie is bad!

I loved the first Darkness album, cheesy as f**k but some great tunes. Kinda lost interest as they got bigger.

They were moved up the lineup when someone dropped out in 2003, then they headlined the Saturday the year after. They were shite. Both times.

[sifi]

The Darkness were shit. They made Crue look good.

The 1st Darkness album always remind me of annoying girl I went to Reading festival with that refused to listen to the slow song as it was boring but would then shriek her f**king head off to I Believe In A Thing Called Love in our camp. I hate it when mates get shit girlfriends.

[ampersand]

love is only a feeling also reminds me of live spl games on bbc. was the theme tune not as good as freak out by avril lavigne mind...
