Jas - spaceman - Mann of non-group babylon zoo , a wee fellow who mistakenly believed he was the seconding coming

Here unknowingly predicting just how many slightly successful singles he`d have

[Adam West]

Poison and any hair band from the past. Present, cRap music and garbage like Fall Out Boy or Maroon 5.

Your entitled to your opinion, but feel most would disagree with you.

I was , still am , heavily into punk music ....... The Clash though , after " Give em enough Rope " , I really , personally don't rate . A lot of sloganeering going on and they really moved away from the sort of sounds I liked . Trouble is , I really want to try to like the later stuff , but I listen to it and can't .
Saw them live in 1979 at B'ham Top Rank , they were pretty good at that stage.
I think maybe Strummer should have done what Paul Weller did with The Jam and start over with something else as what they became wasn't what The Clash were originally about ( to me anyway ) . Weller had the guts to move on from The Jam when he knew the material they were coming up with wasn't what The Jam had been about .

I was and still am into punk, SLF, Crass, Conflict, Mob, and a few obscurer bands (Drongos for Europe, The Fits,to name two)

Agree about the latter stuff of the Clash, but first 2 albums and London Calling will always be listened to by me.

Also, Joe Strummer did do a fair few other projects, and though these and some other stuff were not everyones cup of tea, they at least had the courage to do different things.

P.S. Glad to see so many Sir Cliff haters here

(Im obviously a fan of the music, but not of the singers public image).

Who do I detest most? Not a performer, but someone who is involved in the business and who is responsible for who we do and dont get to see at times, that man is Simon Cowell, what an absolute cunt of a man!

By the way GreenSkull are you psycho-analysing us with all these questions about what we do and don't like music wise/what women want/what winds us up wise/etc?

Lightens the mood either way.

I've heared a great story about Bono lately.
Seems they were doing a concert in Scotland. During the show Bono asked for complete silence while he was standing alone on the stage in a spotlight. He started clapping his hands every 3 seconds. After a while he said: "Everytime I clap my hands, a small child in Afrika dies".
Then a very drunk Scotsman shouts: "Then stop clapping your hands, you asshole!!!".

I still laugh when I think of this story. Stick to your music, Bono!!!

The Fits and Drongo's were great . Saw Drongo supporting The Dead Kennedy's once .
Another band from that era of punk I liked were Uproar ( from Blackpool I think) . I think the later bands were more honest but maybe far less original as punk became more uniform by 1984 .... good bands none the less.
It aqs a shame it split into faction - oi , hardcore, anarcho , original punk etc .
If only they listened to Jimmy Pursey - "If the kids are united " .Alas it wasn't to be .

All I know is I'm still terrified every time it rains at Wimbledon!

I deleted them because a member used the rather derogatory term, "shirt lifter", which was them quoted by yourself and another poster.

There really is no need for that sort of language.


And no, i'm not a closet Cliff fan.....or Cliff, himself.

so no point in starting a 'We love Cliff' thread then?
