Man City are always playing Oasis... adds something homely. Good suggestion by Neil. Thanks mate Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Sheffield club, try's to celebrate Sheffield music. Draws a game of football and people whinge about the music. Pretty much all I'm reading in this thread, apart from the odd one whos taste dictates hating on the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much Sheffield Wednesday has the most successful fanbase in terms of amazing music (Pulp, Def Leppard, Heaven 17, Reverend, Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hawley etc etc) Sheffield has an even bigger base of incredible artists The bands that write these songs are sat in the stands alongside us Loads of upcoming unsigned young bands in the city also sat in the stands on top of all the major big bands that are already superstars Try to celebrate that for one season and get shouted at for not playing an Irish band or some Elton John and Kiki Dee and for doing something new/different and trying to create a positive that is a new and more appropriate era of stadium entertainment Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 There was nothing wrong with the choice of music. However, the sound system let the idea down. It was near on impossible to hear anything on row 38 on the Kop. Do they increase the volume for 'Hi Ho'? It sounded a lot louder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty0wls Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I liked send in the boys being played as they walked out at half time because it got me pumped up for the second half. The music pre-KO didn't get me as up for it as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I like the idea of having local music at Hillsborough But for all us Perry Como fans Would it be possible to announce the artist and song at the intro I recognised Alex Turner’s voice but nothing else And if we’re going to be playing Monkies stuff Can I request Last Train To Clarksville Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Jilted John should be on the playlist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante's Bubbly Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Less is definitely more with the sound system. Why do they play everything so loud that the sound distorts and the sepeakers sound like they are ripping apart? I love loud music, but prefer to be able to hear it within the abilities of the sound system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 If they’re going to play any music at all it might as well be Sheffield music. Waterfront works because it’s completely anthemic - Simple Minds at their best and I can’t immediately think of a Sheffield equivalent (someone on here will know). Send in the Boys is perfect for the second half I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Agree that the Sheffield music thing is a great idea if done properly (which is an entirely subjective argument). To me Wednesday represent a classic English football club with a fantastic history and tradition so I would choose music by local artists that reflect that which naturally provides bias towards older tunes that are well known such as: Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends - Delta Lady - Up Where We Belong Glitter Band - Angel Face - Let's Get Together Again Chris Spedding - Motorbikin' Terry Curran - Singing the Blues Human League - Don't You Want Me - Love Action - Get Around Town - Lebanon - I'm Only Human Heaven 17 - Temptation ABC - Look of Love - Shoot That Poison Arrow - Tears Are Not Enough Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up (already a Wednesday song anyway) - Love On Your Side - Lies - We Are Detective - Hold Me Now - Doctor Doctor - Into The Gap Phil Oakey/Giorgio Moroder - Together In Electric Dreams Def Leppard - Bringing on the Heartache - Pyromania - Photograph - Too Late - Animal - Hysteria - Love Bites - Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad - Let's Get Rocked Pulp - Common People You can even widen the net to include bands or musicians from the local area in other major bands which would give you: Iron Maiden (Bruce Dickinson was born in Worksop and raised in Worksop and Sheffield - had a house in Totley for many years) - just imagine walking out to Number of the Beast! Saxon (the original drummer Pete Gill - formerly of the Glitter Band also in Motorhead - is from Sheffield, Biff is from Barnsley) - Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law John Parr (Worksop) - St Elmo's Fire - Naughty, Naughty The possibilities are endless, even without stepping into the last 25 years! Still think we should keep Waterfront and Hi-Ho though! So overall, great idea, glad the club is picking it up and running with it but let's develop it, maybe even have a weekly poll by the fans for "The Fans Choice" of track? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said the possibilities are endless and overall this is a great idea that needs to be fully developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
