Club anthem?

My opinion is biased, being an electronic music fan, but I love what Feyenoord do.

Me too.  Know hard house is divisive at best, but Tony De Vit might fit the bill for something like that ..

I'm a big house music fan but cannot stand hard house, and I used to look down on people that liked it as a bit simple.

Fucking hell.  This makes 'Aston Villa - that's who' start to sound appealing.

  I know its a matter of taste but Imagine that playing as they come out, reminds me of my ZX Spectrum. Having said that I'm sure a lot of people are thinking the same about Sabbath playing, I'm also bitter as Tonys Dad ripped my Dad off on a Green Audi back in '85... the shit.

Whenever Vila fans have a discussion like this it's always middle-aged heavy metal fans who seem to shout loudest wanting Ozzie or Sabbath.  We've got that now and it's ok in that it's a loud noise, but it's a million miles from a club anthem and I honestly imagine it just passes most people by.  I certainly don't sit there and recognise it as a club song.

I'm not middle aged and I think this is perfect. It's not loud noise. Listen to it. It's an anthem.

As Villa fans we dream of better days.

Perfect imo.

Out of all the dozens, hundreds maybe, of great Sabbath and Ozzy songs out there, this is the one you chose?

If we're on the topic of metal bands with Villa supporting singers, we should be coming out to Napalm Death surely.

To be fair, I am a bit simple so it still stands


There's a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde thing going on with my dance music musical tastes.  At one end there's the beard-stroking techno side, which scoffs at anything that doesn't approach free jazz levels of sophistication.  The other side wants Steps, hard house, and puerile humour and is just a fucking idiot to be honest.

It's cool brother, I get that, and I'm in no position really to judge others as simple.

I didn't have you down as someone that likes House.

You are more of a caravan type of guy , right?

I'm more New York House than Chicago. I wasn't before but I am now, you git.

Can we not have a Villa haka to scare the shit out of the opposition

Could you imagine Meatball and Big Emi leading ours

Yes, that's why I posted it

Racing Club de Lens have a fantastic anthem before their games. It’s called Les Corones and is a regional hymn to the miners of Northern France. Lens is right at the centre of the old French mining industry, long since gone, but the atmosphere they generate pre game is very impressive.

I’ve no idea what we should have though I’m of the older generation where Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie brings back a lot of memories.

Yes, and imagine how many ACL injuries it would cause.....

If you want an anthem, as in one the fans sing before kickoff or after a win, there needs to be some level of organic development of it. It's not YNWA but Liverpool fans developed a relationship with Dua Lipa's One Kiss from a random halftime performance at a final. I'm sure if anyone involved behind the scenes had tried to get them singing that on a regular basis they'd have been laughed at, at best.

At the same time, there could probably be some level of manipulation, or at least trial and error. Play a few songs before kickoff and see which ones get a good reaction and which don't. I'm sure YNWA became a Liverpool song because they played the Top40 before kickoff or something like that. We could do the same, I think Beyoncé's country song is #1 at the moment. That would sound great being yelled out by 40k Brummies every week.

Anthems are organic they can’t be prescribed or rammed down your throat by the club or put to a vote. What you need are simple lyrics that can maybe be Villa-ised, you can clap along to it and it doesn’t have much or any swearing.  The other factor is that generally they’re by cringe inducing songwriters or bands. Take Forest, Mull of Kintyre by Wings, if that got suggested on here or in general to Villa fans you’d  be laughed at but look what that’s become for them. So I’m going as corny as possible and reiterating my earlier suggestion
