1163.0. "4 Non-Blondes" by UPROAR::PLOWMAND ("don't phone, it's just for fun") Fri Jul 23 1993 14:52

    Has anyone checked out the "4 Non-Blondes" album?  I love that woman's
    voice on the single "What's Up".
    
    Thanks,
    
    Debs.

    No, but my local radio station are giving the song a lot of airtime and
    it sounds better on each hearing... didn't even know there was an album.

    Goldy.
1163.2VYGER::RENNISONMSpherical - and in the pluralFri Jul 23 1993 18:448
Sorry, but their current single is really bugging me.  It has got to be the 
most over-played, over-rated piece of rubbish to hit the charts this year.

The lyrics are just *so* banal. I mean how many times does she have to 
say "Hey-yay-yay-yay..." ?

    There's something I like about that song  - her singing,she's
    definatley got a good voice - will be listening out for her.
    
    There's also something I don't like  - especially when she sings about
    revolution - corneeee.

    I like her voice as well. She does have a "unique" look, however. There
    is a discussion about 4 Non-blondes in the HYDRA::RADIO_RADIO notes
    conference. It seems as though this is a group you either like or
    dis-like. I like them.

1163.5Supporting PrinceAYOV10::KKEARYMon Jul 26 1993 16:335
    
    I think her voice is excellent, the song is ok.
    
    They are supporting Prince at one of his concerts this week.

    I'm afraid I have to agree, these are possibly the most overrated band
    since the dreadful Manic Street Preachers first came on the scene.

    I agree that the 4-Non-Blondes are overrated but comparing them with
    the Manic Street Preachers is an insult to the Manics.  
    
    The Manics are brilliant.  I admit their early stuff was a bit rough
    but their new stuff is brilliant.  If you haven't heard it I reckon you
    should give it a go.  You might be surprised.

    re last
    
    Saw the "lads" on TOTP last night. Your quite right I was surprised.
    They appear to have metamorphasised into Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
    Oh dear.

    Saw the group supporting Prince at Meadowbank on Thursday night and
    thought they were really good.  The song they have in the charts is
    nothing like the rest of the stuff they did, they are alot heavier than
    the single suggests.  I still think her voice is excellent.
    
    Will probably buy the CD now.

    I like that song and her voice. Do they have other bits as good as that
    one? Don't want to buy a CD for one song.
