Now I don´t mind some Squeeze songs, but that line up sounds like it was designed to attract people who have only a passing acquaintance with the concept of music... and joy.

And I am sorry but Eric Clapton is a tosser. He once said he thought of giving up playing guitar the first time he saw Jimi Hendrix. He should have thought about it for a bit longer.

This thread makes me so happy.

For years I thought it was just me. I was the only one at work who wanted to pick up a spanner and thrash the radio to smithereens at every.single.song played on Radio 1 (John Peel excepted, gawd bless him).

I thought I was the only one who imagined himself machine-gunning everyone who got up to dance to god-awful, plastic-arse pop/rock/rockabilly speed metal/whatever.

But now I realise I'm not the only one and I feel hope again. Thank you CycleChat.

I. INXS. Why?

Genuine rock star good looks. And immense charm. The rest of the band should have been in kept behind a blanket, though.

K. Kylie. Sorry, but camp disco? Pur-lease!!! The new Abba, she is. And she went out with a Jason.

Thumping beats. Immensely easy on the eye. Nice bottom. Pop doesn't really have to have much more than that.

N. Nirvarna. Pixies rip-offs. Didn't want to be a rock cliche, did you Cobain? Yeah. Dating that rock starlet (who even Alan Partridge bonked), taking drugs then committing suicide is sooooo original.

...all grist to the myth. Armed with only two songs, Nirvana captured a mood, combining really good guitar sounds with fabulous teenage angst, and (this being no small thing) great beauty. And 'Pixies rip-offs' is very unfair. The Pixies were a polished, knowing act. Nirvana were nervous kids,
 
Well, Cobain admitted to trying to rip-off the Pixies with Smells Like Teen Spirit, but I thought Nirvana were grate too, and would put 'em down as influneced by Pixies.

Oh, good god, Genesis. An object lesson in how a shoot band composed of self-indulgent public school rich kids can actually become even worse when their prannet of a frontman leaves. At least Peter Gabriel then realised what an idiot he had been and started making some half-decent music and also opened up the UK to things most people would never otherwise have heard from other parts of the world. For the evil, selfish, Thatcherite, gurning gnome that is Phil Collins there is no salvation. He will burn in the lowest circle of rock hell for all eternity where they only play Genesis songs, with an occasional break for Rush...

Look, we don´t want sensible balanced opinion here. :rolleyes: We want veritable spews of acidic rhetoric. Purge yourself of your bile...

His wife was very good looking as well. :biggrin:

Ahem. Apart from being an annoying prick, Phil Collins was/is a rather good drummer and was involved in a good few left-field collaborations with people like Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno. He played the drums on Another Green World. I wouldn't be unhappy if I never heard him sing again though...

He was a very good friend of John Martyn, but that doesn't excuse him in anyway from the pain he has inflicted on us over the years.

Which one? He's divorced quite a few over the years.:biggrin:
