Nah, it's just that Motown is the default mode that all manufactured pop bands revert to when times are hard. It's slack and lazy.Abitrary said:well, ooh, get you. I never had you down as a slack jawed motown protectionist.

So you copied the cool kids and now that you're all out on your grown up own you're into Boyzone.Abitrary said:sorry, when I saw it was throbbing gristle I just thought of nerds at school listening to that for their left-field laugh, whilst listening to crap like Queen as their mainstay.
Whereas from about the age 12 I was into:
-the velvet underground
-the doors
-the stranglers
-the smiths

Lend me your cool-list and I'll cobble something together for you.Abitrary said:At age 13 I had my own band.
I was also into ska and reggae.

I get the impression sometimes, chuffy, that you feel entitled to some sort of 'cool' status on this forum. You get down with the geeks and the oldies which is commendable.
