The Roy Morgan survey on another thread suggests Collingwood fans are more likely to drive Commodores than Saints fans.

More bloody prejudice by the AFL!

Ah well, whack it in the bubble with the other stuff

Agree that Lionel is infinitely better than the INXS cover band.

Seriously, All Night Long will be classic. And I'll be partying all night long if we win too...

Temper Trap for mine....... Sweet disposition.....

a moment
a love
a dream
aloud
a kiss
a cry
our rights
our wrongs
a moment a love
a dream
aloud
a moment a
a love
a dream
aloud

so stay there
cause i'll be coming over
and while our blood's still young
it's so young, it runs
and won't stop til it's over
won't stop to surrender

songs of desperation
i played them for you
a moment
a love
a dream
aloud
a kiss
a cry
our rights
our wrongs
a moment
a love
a dream
aloud
a moment
a love

Just curious.

Why is INXS fronted by JD Fortune instead of Michael Hutchence not considered INXS by many

and yet so many of the same posters call for
ACDC without Bon Scott?

When is it acceptable to replace a lead singer in a Band and continue calling yourself by the Band's name?

ELO changed their name to ELO-2 when the lineup didn't include Jeff Lynne.

So is it only the lead singer that cannot be changed?
What about the guitarist, keyboard player, drummer etc?

Are the Rolling Stones still considered the Rolling Stones after Brian Jones' death?

Wolfmother still calls themselves Wolfmother even though there is only 1 original member left (the singer)

LRB is still touring in the USA (I think) even though there is only 1 transient member of the Band still in it.

The Eagles are still The Eagles even though 2 of their original members have been replaced (Don Felder and Randy Meisner).

I'm not having a go at any of these Bands mentioned but just trying to understand why all the angst towards INXS fronted by JD Fortune?

good point
dunno
i guess some bands you just cant replace a member and some you can.

Some bands are one member, some aren't.

AC/DC released Back in Black within a year of Bon Scott's death... I think it mainly comes down to what the band produces post-depature. And the sooner the better.

I cant even name one INXS song released after the death of Hutchins... and their new frontman won the job on a reality tv show!

Why does the AFL have to always go for artists well past their use by date, examples:
- Lionel Ritchie
- Jimmy Barnes
- John Farnham
- INXS
- Mark Seymour

I agree with temper trap, also birds of tokyo would be great

2 out of the last 3 years they have had Powderfinger and Jet so it aint that bad and to be honest more people are probably over 40 than under it.

I have two daughters aged 17 & 20 and they have played that song endlessly and it just brilliant. So + 1 for me.

I don't think so.

But more importantly, the Saints are playing in a Grand Final and people are concerned about the pre match entertainment! Will it somehow cheapen a Premiership if Lionel Richie played beforehand?

BTW. Rockstar INXS was the best talent show I ever saw. I was actually glad to see JD Fortune fronting the band.
