Default Robbie Williams

I know a lot of people don't like him, but for those who do, what are your favourite tracks?

I'm currently listening through Life Thru A Lens (album), and the title track is really good, and of course the magnificent Angels. I also really like Old Before I Die, and it has a wicked video too.

I've Been Expecting You was much darker, and some of my favourites are No Regrets, Phoenix From The Flames and Karma Killer.

Sing When You're Winning was much more pop, but still had some good tracks, like Knutsford City Limits, Better Man, Singing For The Lonely and The Road To Mandalay. Eternity was good too, but that was only released as a single and didn't feature on the album.

I didn't buy Swing When You're Winning because I'm not into swing music, but I think the duet with Nicole Kidman on Something Stupid was decent.

Escapology was a lot different style to the previous albums, but not a bad album by any account. The opening track of the album is exactly what it says; How Peculiar. Feel is a good track, as are Hot Fudge, Monsoon and Me & My Monkey. Nan's song is an endeering tribute to Robbie's deceased grandma, and a very touching thing to see him perform live.

There are some truly great songs from his albums, and now he has basically sacked his co-writer Guy Chambers we will have to see how his next albums play out, but I for one am looking forward to any future releases.

I like him a lot, one of my fav songs right now is Monsoon

By the way, for the fans, here's a link to pictures of Robbie Williams live in Lisbon (Portugal), 19th and 20th October http://psmrobbwilliams.fotopic.net/

He is due to release a Summer Tour DVD before christmas, which will most likely contain edited highlights of the knebworth concerts, along with backstage documentaries, studio footage and possibly a few music videos from the Escapology album.

Angels and Feel are my favourite songs by Robbie Williams. I think he's great. Back in May, he stopped off in Toronto for a promotional thing and gave an on-air interview on a local radio station. It was amazing. He's got a great sense of humour. I just wish he would get a little more respect over here in North America

you so know watching this live at knebworth made blokes weak at the knees! YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE!


i was mad on 'heaven from here' for well for ever LOL but just drifted off it for some reason


Hot Fudge

Queen Bitch eat the rich
I'm on the second course today
I'm not the first and I won't be the worst
She's done most of L.A.
Can't find a virgin, I can get you a surgeon
24 Hours a day.
Collagen Jeanie you big lip meanie
I'm about to be blown away
Come on sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost and the whole East Coast
Are moving to L.A.
Coz we've been dreaming of this feeling since 1988
Mother, things have got to change,
I'm moving to L.A.

Take the piss always English
God Bless you Uncle Sam
You got a cool gene pool and our winter is cruel
And God knows I love to tan
Making cents and dead Presidents
Before I could count to ten
With a nation behind me can't stop the limey
She's on her back again
Come on sing it

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost and the whole East Coast
Are moving to L.A.
Coz we've been dreaming of this feeling since 1988
Mother, things have got to change,
I'm moving to L.A.

L.A. L.A. L.A.
L.A. L.A. L.A.
L.A. L.A. L.A.

Take me to the place where the sunshine flows
Oh my Sunset Rodeo

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost and the whole East Coast
Are moving to L.A.
Coz we've been dreaming of this feeling since 1988
Mother, things have got to change,
I'm moving to

Hot Fudge, here comes the judge
Theres a green card in the way
The Holy Ghost and the whole East Coast
Are moving to L.A.
Coz we've been dreaming of this feeling since 1988
Mother, things have got to change,
I'm moving to L.A.

Moving to L.A.
Keep on moving, keep on moving, keep on moving to L.A.
L.A. L.A
Keep on moving, moving on
Keep on movin-moving on
Keep on mo-mo-mo-moving on...

...And Stop

ooohhhh yeah he certainly has a sense of humor, its a split personality and is fantastic but he has admitted that it scares him half to death...like onstage and in the press he is a total nut but he says behind the door he's just normal, not like that...doesnt play up...just him, being him.

yeah cos erm well aint we all 2 differnent ppl?

Ive liked Robbie ever since he released Freedom. Love Life tho a lens and its still my fave Robbie album. Apart from angels my fave songs are, Win Some Lose Some, Heaven from here, Strong, Rock DJ and Better Man.

Escapology is a decent album but its not in the same class as his first two. Didnt like the Swing album either, but when he tours next time, il def be getting tickets!!
