Defend The Indefensible: Reef

Just found out that they took their name by jumbling the letters around in the name of their favorite band, Free. A shame, that

The fact that they loved Free was enough to get me to pull up "Place Your Hands" on YouTube.

Fuck this band.

ftr the lyric is "place your hands on my hope". similar to "Kiss On My Lips", one wouldn't place their hands ON one's hole, but IN it. it wrecks the perfection of the rhyme but well...that's Reef.

(and yes I know the song is "Kiss on My List", but that was another 'misheard'.)

fuck this band

shan’t

I once saw Reef and Kula Shaker (when they were The Kays) on the same bill and it was, well, a really good show.

I'll get my coat.

PUT YOUR HANDS ON
PUT YOUR HANDS ON

lol this band really seems to be stuck in your head Neanderthal, judging by the last three revives

when it gets into my head, it's hard to get out.

no idea why it's in there today, somebody must have said "place your hands"

a friend of mine who was briefly enamoured of reef said to another friend around the time of their first album (1995 or so) that they were the best band since nirvana. still bringing that up today.

lol instantly thought PUT YOUR HANDS ON when I saw this thread title, good grief this band

I had forgotten I ever listened to this band, but this was me:

Fuck this band.

Listening now, they kinda sound like Rare Earth, who I have come to like, but the vocalist is awful, 10000x worse than the dude from Rare Earth. (It amuses me that Reef have a seven-minute song called "Robot Riff" that's seven minutes long, but I'm not about to listen to it. And if Rare Earth had done it, it would have been 17 minutes.) So once again, fuck this band.

he sounds like Mick Jagger being vivisected

so basically like Mick Jagger
