Wet Wet Wet

[ClinkatyClank]

Are they one of the most underrated bands ? If so, does Marti Pellow have one of the best voices in music ?

[Mattk]

"Down Down Deeper and Down and Going Underground were not Wet Wet Wet songs."

Yes I know. You referred to "descent hits".

[snags]

Pellow has the most slappable face in music. Aside from perhaps Mick Hucknall. Or Paul McCartney. Or Michael Stype.

[andy-hughes]

No, and no.

They were a pop band of their time, but MP's voice used his wobbling pitch and gargling delivery to masquerade as some kind of emotional delivery, with which he managed to fool a large number of people who don't know about, or indeed care about the difference.

Personally, having witnessed him swear like a Glasgow docker at a mid-day outdoor concert in Manchester attended by large numbers of young teens and children, I have never found him remotely appealing in any way.
