Decent music. What is it? Not this I hear you say. But who are you to decide what is good and what is bad? Who am I? Everybody has different tastes in music. So all music is good music to someone? No - all music is enjoyed by someone - even if it is just the composer, but that does not necessarily make it good music. As far as Mackie’s World is concerned, all real music is good music - but what is real music? It is anything, unless it has been written just to make money - like those cheesy 911 covers and Step’s entire back catalogue, and then there is Billie, who writes songs specifically designed for little girls to spend their pocket money on - only written to make money.
Lighthouse Family - Postcard From Heaven

However much Lighthouse Family bore me, I cannot deny that all their records are excellent - well written, expertly produced, but all sounding astonishingly similar - this is definitely good music (Obviously written from Paul and Tunde’s hearts, and has nothing to do with the inevitably large cash advance for the multi-platinum second album, which was the 9th biggest selling CD of the year in the UK).
Beautiful South - Dumb

Beautiful South are anything but Dumb. With every record they release, the press releases always state one simple fact - they are one of the highest selling British bands in history. With only the Beatles selling more than them world wide, Heaton and Rotheray are, like Norman Cook, former members of the Housemartins. They have had enormous success with all their albums and singles, and Dumb is the second single from the partially Fatboy Slim produced No.1 LP, Quench. This single is instantly recognisable as the Beautiful South, and has their trademark can’t-get-it-out-of-your-head chorus which is probably why their records sell in bucket-loads.
Boyzone - I Love The Way You Love Me.

Boyzone have got better and better each year. Originally they had no talent whatsoever, and relied merely on their looks to sell records, but with songs such as No Matter What and the new I Love The Way You Love Me their music has certainly matured. It’s still not decent music though. There are very few occasions suitable for Boyzone, but I guess the end of all those Christmas and New Year parties coming up will be ideal for Boyzone’s brand of pop music.
