Earth-Angel Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Trouble - Shampoo When we were young - Whipping Boy The second one really upsets me, because I have their Heartworm album - and it is really really good! But sadly, they are only known for one song
Earth-Angel Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I actually thought I was going to open this thread and see your post saying you totally agreed at what an awesome band they were and how utterly disappointed you are with their one-hit-wonder status and how you couldn't agree with me more and and and...
daslied Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I suppose I could've said all of that, but I'd rather try to cheer you up.
Earth-Angel Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Whipping Boy are known? I think they are awesome!

blind-fitter Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 If you look very closely at this page, it appears as if I must have had a post deleted here. It's a couple of weeks ago now, but as I recall, the post to which Earth-Angel responded contained one line, whose only (trivial) point was to express surprise that "Whipping Boy" are famous: I've never heard of them!. Just because a post is "throwaway", doesn't mean it has to be thrown away, does it??? I'm baffled. It wasn't offensive, except perhaps in a tangential (and wholly unintended) way: to members of the band and their mums... And even then only if they happen to have the most fragile of overblown egos...
Farin Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 This happened to me too! A few weeks ago at least two of my posts in the "Random Lyrics" topic got deleted. And they were (if at all) only very slightly offensive. But what's even worse, imo, is that I only accidently discovered it. There was no PT from a moderator to me, or another note whatsoever. Now, I can't help but wonder if they were the only ones that got deleted? Now don't get me wrong, I have the uttermost respect for the moderators here. I spoke to one about it and they agreed with me, so I know that this isn't the usual procedure. I know it's sometimes unavoidable to delete parts of a post, or even the whole thing. But there should be a notice about it. For example you could not delete the post, but only the contents and put a "Edit by Moderator: Offensive content" or something in it. Or at least a PT to the member whos post got deleted. I would like to have both. I mean how else would you (as Mod) know that they wouldn't post it again, if they didn't know they did something wrong? That's my opinion, anyways...
Levis Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 I think it's justified. Sounds fair enough. I wonder if my posts are still where I left them...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 What is behind contains no power, without what is ahead.
blind-fitter Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Glad I'm not imagining it...I was wondering if I might have somehow deleted it myself, though I can't imgine why/how I would: the post was only four words long (the words E-A quoted), so I can't think why I would go back to edit it, (especially once it had been responded to)...and then to accidentally delete it...It seems a bit unlikely, though it can't be ruled out. "Whipping boy are known?" How on earth could that upset anyone? I'm genuinely flummoxed. BTW, Farin. I'm pretty sure you're right re: the adoption of the policy of informing posters if their posts have to be edited or deleted. Most Moderators seem to agree that this would be "good practice". It's sneaky when ones posts are deleted without any explanation whatsoever, (and quite tormenting if it happens repeatedly) It only takes a quiet word of explanation via a PM, or a "Post Deleted because..." message.

bazooka Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Peaches- The Presidents Of The United States Of America Hey. What about Lump ?
blind-fitter Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Hey. What about Lump ? My thought exactly.
invisible_r Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 My thought exactly. or "kitty". i like that song
CanAm Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Can You Give It All To Me - Myles And Lenny This is an obscure Canadian band and I don't know if this 1974 hit ever made the charts in the United States. It was unusual in that it featured the violin as a solo instrument and not as part of a backing orchestra.
Steel2Velvet Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I always thought it interesting that his album was titled The Essential Collection of R.Dean Taylor (Indiana Wants Me.) ...hope it contained his hit.
johnnyguitar Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 He had three hits in the UK....Indiana Wants Me, There's a Ghost in my House and the supremely danceable Gotta See Jane....all big faves at dances in my youth.
Steel2Velvet Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 ... his essence. Good info. Thanks, Johnny.
Steel2Velvet Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Always enjoyed "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains. Don't think they had another hit.
johnnyguitar Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 I remember a song by them called 'Julie, Do ya Love Me'?....rather catchy, but I can't remember if it made the charts in the UK.
MindCrime Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 One hit wonder artists, that I've heard, not presummably like. Keith ~ 98' Blues Magoos ~ Pipe Dream The Troggs ~ Wild Thing Mountain ~ Mississippi Queen Free ~ All Right Now Foghat ~ Slow Ride Black Oak Arkansas ~ Jim Dandy David Essex ~ Rock On Head East ~ Never Been Any Reason War ~ Low Rider Stealer's Wheel ~ Stuck in the Middle with You Ram Jam ~ Breakfast in America .38 Special ~ Hold on Loosely The Knack ~ My Sharona Kim Carnes ~ Bette Davis Eyes Vapors ~ Turning Japanese Rockwell ~ Somebody's Watching Me Autograph ~ Turn Up the Radio Murray Head ~ One Night in Bangkok Crowded House ~ Don't Dream It's Over The Church ~ Under the Milky Way Great White ~ Once Bitten, Twice Shy Jesus Jones ~ Right Here, Right Now Soul Asylum ~ Runaway Train Candlebox ~ Far Behind Silverchair ~ Tomorrow Primative Radio Gods ~ Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand Space ~ Female of the Species Spacehog ~ In the Mean Time Lifehouse ~ Hangin' By a Moment Crazy Town ~ Butterfly Alien Ant Farm ~ Smooth Criminal (M.J. cover) ______________________________________ Whoever said Blue Oyster Cult & Thin Lizzy are one hit wonders, is all wrong. Those groups had a couple of B*Side hits during their time, such as "Burning For You", etc. Not in my incoherant eccentric way of posting.
bazooka Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 War ~ Low Rider uh .. All Day Music , Slippin' Into Darkness , The Cisco Kid , Why Can't We Be Friends?
