[Fab Foodie]

Pink Floyd

[pes]

Squeeze.

(Difford & Tilbrook are the true heroes of brit pop)

 

[PaulB]

Half Man Half Biscuit. Close the thread.

 

[PaulB]

No.

Stiff Little Fingers.

That's music for people that don't really like music at the end of the day though, innit? Alternative Ulster? Alternative to music, more like!

 

[Abitrary]

Squeeze.

I don't really think about bands as being favourites anymore. I did however see james taylor on TV last night - and left me gobsmacked for the first time in years.

Funny, but after hearing 'tempted by the fruit' the other day, I must say that squeeze are the most underrated band ever. I used to like them, but was a bit indifferent because I thought 'oh, that it just what the beatles would sound like if they had kept going...how dull'. But compare oasis and squeeze.

I wonder what liam gallagher thinks of squeeze.

The most single influential band of all time, that completely changed the landscape of what we listen to now, were The Shadows.

I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

eh? Don't know what you find likeable in music, but I'll bet something like 'up the junction' has most of it... and in greater quantities than the stuff you currently imagine you like.

Of the ones so far, I could relate to Can and The Fall most. Buzzcocks and The Ramones too. Squeeze had a few good songs, but they had lots of shoot ones too, and they basically were never as good as The Kinks, who they were always looking up to. On some days I could choose The Kinks, but not today. On another day, I could also choose The Velvet Underground. Or Africa 70. Or Love... or... but no, not today.

Today I choose Sly and the Family Stone.

No they were not. Squeeze had their gaze fixed firmly on lennon / mccartney. The chord progressions came first.

The kinks were way too musically angular and laterally emotional that it took about 20 years for a band like blur to try it.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

The Rhthym Thieves

Shucks.

For me ... er ... Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

 

[Keith Oates]

Camborne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your previous pontifications on The Clash have shown how miniscule your knowledge and appreciation of music is so I have zero wish to discuss the subject any further with you. It would be like discussing marathon running with Heather Trott (big Ev) from Eastenders.
