I know it's hardly a major bone of contention but for the last 20 years that I've been going down the Molineux the music played has been shocking. Judging by our famous musical support maybe the following may go down well:
Keep Hi Ho Silverlining/Hi Ho Wolverhampton but perhapse include some classic Led Zep. Whole 'lotta Love' Black dog. Imagine Ince leading the team out to the opening bars of black dog followed by hi ho silver lining.
Goal Celebration Music, we could use Place your hands by Reef or (completely off the wall) Run to the hills by Iron Maiden. Hey.. Napalm death live in Wolverhampton.
For the start of the second half, Coz I Luv You by slade or and out come the wolves by Rancid.
I know that we cant use the liquidator but there are plenty of great alternatives.
I went to an Oxford united match once and they played if the kids were united by sham 69 and the whole place whent off before kick off, the fans ending the song with chants of "United... United..."
Or have I totally missed the point and the music is supposed to be dull and boring to prevent any kind of atmosphere being built up?

I think the goal music should be Soul Bossa Nova from Austin Powers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B000000OGW001008/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_008/102-5602536-0566553) (click to listen)

A topic that comes up time and time and again.
Like football, music is such a contentious issue, that you'll never make everybody happy (Bulletproof, PWEI anyone!?), but the general consensus is that at the moment, they haven't got it right yet.
I felt Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar (Wolves fan) would have been ideal, but again, not everyones cup 'o' tea.

Like it! Quirky and different, Everton's and Tranmere's songs are hardly rousing, but at least they're original, and they still get the crowd going, because its their song and no one else uses it.
(Unless you were joking, then I'll feel a little foolish!)
Lets have no music when a goal is scored, because its . . . gay.

Half agree. Shouldn't have music after we score, I want to hear the crowd roaring, who knows, may even lead to more songs being sung!

No, when we have a goal, there should be music, a laser show and there should be an animation of the player who scored celebrating, designed by the people who did the Catchphrase animations.

I miss the Liquidator :(
If we lose an 11 point lead and $$$$ up in the first leg in the playoffs, maybe the club will lose their morals again and play it in the second leg :rolleyes:

We should play "Dance of the knights" by Prokofiev when we come onto the pitch.

Sounds reasonable. More of the music should have some sort of connection with the club/area. Elgar possibly, although am not sure how you'd fit it in with the rest of the music. The Happy Wanderer (is that an oxymoron? ;)) is a no no.
Don't need any goal music - I think most of us can tell when we've scored (it's a rare occurance these days, but our memories aren't that bad).

Ok. Looking at what you lot have said, I change my miond and agree with you lot. No music would be better. When did we start playing music after a goal, I don't remember?

we should lose Hi Ho Silver Lining. The only song that encourages the crowd to be quiet for 80% of it's length.

Perhaps, but the chorus can be deafening - must be pretty intimidating to the opposition. It's the next best thing to the Liquidator (which was much the same).

Remember going to the City of Manchester stadium and they had no PA Announcer, just played quality music building up to the kick off.
We don't need Steve Welch, we don't need that weird gollum like guy, and we especially don't need to be told when to sing Hi-Ho Wolverhampton.

I agree with Phys Ed Wolf, a big NO to goal music. We lack terrace songs, we have lost our spontaneity. Please please please. When the Albion and Blues come, Play Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common man as the teams come out (a good tune as you can hear it deep under the stands so you know its time to drink up the dregs pat your mates on the back and make your way to your seat) then SHUT THE PA UP! NO MUSIC until half time. So as the players warm up before KO, let the fans find THEIR own songs to taunt each other - that's what creates an atmosphere. If you want to stifle the atmosphere just drown out the fans by playing any crap music over the tannoy at Mol. That's the beauty of a live game. The spontaneity. The way the crowd finds it's own song for that moment. And when the Albion and Blues are in town the last thing I want to sing is “Hi ho Sheffield Wednesday”.
The lack of terraces has destroyed comeraderie at football clubs for the fans. Remember those days on the southbank, singing/dancing. 'lets all have a disco', 'hark now hear the southbank sing', 'where the hell are you from?'. None of that now. Excuse me, off to shed a tear now.

Can't agree with no music before or for goal celebrations (the current one is OK) as think it all adds to the theatre and experience. But the current crop of music is Cack particularly that compelation played by that absolutely useless emotionless PA bloke .....$$$$ him off.
We'd all like the Liquidator back but it ain't gonna happen..... Hi Ho Silver Lining is now well associated with us, but I'd rather we play something like Salva Mea (Faithless) well loud prior to the teams comming out... more up to date and inspiring than the $$$$$$$ Dam busters.
Dunno what is with the Wolves crowd, but most of our songs dissapeared with Bully and we seem to trot out the same old repatoire with no imagination or willingness to adopt many of the European style of chants. Maybe its something to do with our dour black county routes that make us almost embarrased to adopt anything new, but even the $$$t fans are more crative than us.
In comparison for singing colour and the crowd interacting with the occassion, Budesliga games take some beating. Hamburg for example have a guy on an elevated platform in front of the 'West Curve' whipping the crowd up with a loud speaker before the match and the club also activeley promote and help fund the bringing of flags and banners into the stadium to create an atmosphere. Goal scorers are greeted by the PA who announces the first name with the whole crowd bellowing out his surname.... awsome. Even St Pauli in the 3rd division have an area actually signed "Singing Area" which is rammed with passionate fans chanting from start to finish... although this probably has something to do with the fact that most St Pauli fans are constantly p$$$$ed
Maybe if we the fans created more of an atmosphere instead of slagging 'em off and waiting for something to happen on the pitch the team would respond.....al la Cardiff at home.

Totally agree, at Man City they played the extended version of Pounding by Doves, really got an atmosphere going.
They did have speakers that worked as well, which always helps.

We aren't going to score many next season

Something by Aggorophobic Nosebleed would be just the ticket.
out come the wolves by Rancid.
That would be an ace song to come out to

I've been to quite a lot of Oxford games this season and they now play Somwhere Else by Razorlight.
But now I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somwhere else, than here
You give me everything I need
but I really really wish I could be somewhere else, than here
I think it sums up how their fans have been feeling perfectly!
or (completely off the wall) Run to the hills by Iron Maiden. Hey.. Napalm death live in Wolverhampton.

I remember talking to the singer out of Napalm Death at an Iron Maiden elpeee launch some years ago, unfortunately he's a Villa fan.

Things went downhill once they stopped playing Tina Turner at ten to 3.
I thought we played 11 Tina Turners all last season.

I know Barney quite well. He is a Villa fan and the **** kept texting me when they hammered us 4-0. Lovely bloke though.
Hate goal music, but was impressed when Judas Priest's Take On The World was added to the prematch playlist. Hasn't really taken off though has it?:rolleyes:

As an extra thought... maybe we should play Yardbirds 'Shape Of Things' before KO and all chant 4-4-2 after the chorus...

To be honest - after last season, if you were going to pick a Priest song, Painkiller springs to mind

If things don't improve and soon at Molineux the best music will be the Funeral march.
I remember years ago John Peel (RIP) starting his R1 show with the funeral march because some scousers had lost a game.

It wouldn't do much for crowd control if they played breaking the law before Kick off would it. Was that played before the Cardiff Match?
