Re: London Impression

Hey @Bonjourtaiwan

 

You were lucky enough to find double deckers, traditional taxi and red phone cabs, as they are gradually disappearing in all United Kingdom and also in London. Have you tried to make the Royal guards smile? Do you know that they are trained not to show any emotions in public?

Re: London Impression

Great photos @Bonjourtaiwan!

 I really love this city! 

Many years ago I chose it as the first capital to visit alone .... beautiful experience, in the middle of the Oasis band! 

 

Thanks for sharing with us!

Hey @davidhyno

 

Was it 1996? Those were the best years for "Brit rock" in my opinion. What do you think?

Re: London Impression

Hi @Sorbe! How are you?

Yes...1995 to be precise, in the height of "Wonderwall"! So in the apex of the britpop! Musically speaking for me there are three periods: end of the 80s with the first synth-pop band and new wave (also for Italy-disco too!), first decade of 1990 with the brit-pop and first 5 years of 2000 with the trip- hop, nu metal (especially the first Prodigy, Radiohead and Coldplay albums) .... now anything that comes out already knows something already heard .... so sad! 

 

And your musical tastes Sorbe? And yours @Bonjourtaiwan ? 

What do you listen to now and which group / singer do you regret?

Re: London Impression

Can't believe you mentioned this three periods @davidhyno,

 

I think we lived in two parallel words! Oasis were the soundtrack of my teenage years, I saw Prodigy and Coldplay in concert ( the second one in Wembley Stadium) and nowadays I am quite into Kasabian, but I think that they already gave their best to be honest.

Re: London Impression

Dear @davidhyno

thanks for sharing.

In my time, I like the angelic voice of the British carpenter brothers and sisters. For the rock band, it should be the Queen's band.

Re: London Impression

Ha ha ... maybe it is about the age we dear @Sorbe ! We were lucky to live those years! Unfortunately I could not (yet) see the Prodigy in concert, but in compensation last year I saw the Depeche Mode in concert for the fifteenth time! 😉

Hey @Bonjourtaiwan

 

If I had a time machine that will be the concert that I would definitely want to attend. Have you ever got the chance to see them live?

Re: London Impression

Thanks @Bonjourtaiwan for your reply!

The Carpenters....I will try to listen to some of their songs at home! I'm always looking for songs that give some kind of emotions!

Thanks again!!
