not a popular opinion on these boards but I love them, and I have had a wee thing for the lead singer for ages that has now that just escalated to full blown crush! at work, bored and listening to Radio One's One Big Weekend I'd be his hole, if he's looking for a boy now
(sorry was that a bit too rude?)

Starsailor's music offends my ears
It makes me want to do stuff to the sides of my head to make sure I can never hear again as a safety against never hearing Starsailor ever again.
Just to clarify: [glow=red,2,300][/glow]

,... and I have had a wee thing for the lead singer for ages that has now that just escalated to full blown crush! I mistook Starsailor for Toploader and was about to be sick.

Their new single reminds me a lot of a Fixed Stars b-side called Can You Afford Love?, which was rather good. Their single on the other hand is rubbish, thanks in the main to Singer Blokey's incredibally annoying voice. It is not emotive, it is just whiny, and there are few things worse than bands that write songs moaning about how they get slagged off in the press, there's a good reason for the criticism, now dissapear. Please.

I think he has a great singing voice and the I 'read' silence is easy as being about getting criticism for being a bit 'special'. Ok it's not setting anyone's trousers on fire but it is a good bit of brit-pop*.
*was brit-pop dead, or was it just sleeping?

A friend of mine is from Chorley and since everyone in Chorley is pretty much related, she knows the lead singer's sister and has been in his bedroom. a friend of mine is also from chorley. but shes never heard of them, much less has any connections. but i rather like starsailor, and am not going to hide this fact.

I once very nearly had a fight backstage at T in the Park with lead-singer-of-Starsailor blokey, because he seemed to think I'd shoved his very pregnant missus. Well I assume she was his missus, she might have just been a friend I suppose. And, of course, I hadn't shoved her at all, as if I would do that! It was all resolved in the end, and no blood was spilled.
But then he went off and had a fight with Liam Gallagher minutes later, so maybe he was just having a bad day. Still don't like him though.

I think I'd prefer it if I felt that the emotion he tries to portray was genuine. It just seems so fake and trying to hard, his lyrical concerns have a tendancy towards banality that don't really suit the style of his voice. Gimmie Starship over Starsailor every day of the week. "Oh, we built this city on rock and roll..."

I'm hereby outing myself as a Starsailor fan... yes, it's a full blown thing. I realise that they're truly, mind-numbingly unfashionable....not, perhaps in the Stereophonics/Toploader realm, but not that far behind either...(what is it about the "rock" press that elevates a new band to stellar proportions, only to despise them as soon as they sell any records?) but do you know what? I don't give a flying twot. I have their first album. I really love the current single* They're produced by the (literally) insane Mr. Phil Spector and, like a tiny girl-child, I go all weak and trembly at the sight of James Walsh. www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/images/artists/starsailor/james_demin_150x200.jpg[/img]and yes Alisdair, he has a soopa-doopa voice....jammed full of angst and passion. *really, "Silence Is Easy" is a brilliant pop moment....I know that no-one will give it a chance, but it's a great big rolicking, hand-clapping, uber-melodic gem. So there
