Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

OhYeah - "Paddy-Punk" those wacky American kids pretending to be irish. Why? Proper Irish music is bad enough (Don't get me started on "mountains of mourne" - ESPECIALLY the bloody pan-pipe version...) but then you add bratty american punk to it - WHY?!
And the Levellers. Feck @rse cvnt b@stardy cr@p.

Shove it!
Almost tolerable. At Christmas. When you're sick to the back teeth of Wham.

I think both. Of course, the vast majority of you'd hear on the radio is shallow at best. It's up to music enthusiasts to seek deeper then that and search for quality and originality.
But I also believe we've become spoiled by all the music made before, almost everything seems to be already done or invented, that it becomes hard to be new and surprise people positively at the the same time.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.
I think the talent pool is much the same, but you do have to look a lot harder for the good stuff. The collapse of the independent labels in the 90s and the rise of the boy bands/Britpop thing has generally meant that you can no longer walk into your average halfway decent record shop and pick up a copy of the new Bleeding Nose Experience EP.
There are at least 3 people on here that I can think of off the top of my head who would be putting out their first singles shortly on a decent indie label with nationwide distribution if this was back in the 80s. That's not bad out of a total of 1959 or so.
It not so much the lack of talent these days, but rather the unavailability of what were once regular outlets for it.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Was that the Cruxshadows by any chance?

I think they were called "avoidance of doubt" or something equally silly.
But you can add the Cruxshadows too. Twice.
Anyone mentioned Deep purple yet?God they were unbelievably sh'ite.And all the offshoots Whitesnake,Rainbow and anyone else.Crap all of 'em.
And Bloody Iron maiden.Have the fukc have they got away with it all these years?They started of quite promising but after boss-eyed Bruce joined they've put out the same tune with different words for 20 odd years.Surely even their most hardcore fans must notice.

One of my Top Ten Gigs was a Levellers gig, superb live act , lost interest after "Leveling the Land", but that and "A Weapon Called The Word" age great records

Just reading the Adam Pearson thread, when it hit me that the MC5 are one of those bands I never "got". I know I should, and I love Spacemen 3 so I definitely should, but nah. I don't.

Radiohead. I was told they were amazing. They where wrong. A Slow death played at 33rpm.
The Artic Monkeys . If Jo Whiley likes them ,that's not a good start. Awful battle-of- the- bands style student dirge you're sure you've heard before but without that ridculous Yorkshire accent thtown in. The NME has alot to aswer for.
Jamiriqiui - Oh however it's spelt it on his latest speeding ticket. Words fail me when it comes to this talentless midget whose released the same album over and over and over again!
Keane,Elbow,Embrace,Coldplay : Your not fooling anyone, your one and the same people but in different hats.
Anyone featured in the NME in the last ten years.
Babyshambles : Can anyone understand why this band is reagrded by many as 'nortorious' and the saviours of British music , Well maybe for treating their fans like sh*te and having that jail dodging fraud in the band? Can you just imagine how much he's blubbed in court so not to be sent down - it must look comical!!
There must be more, but my mind is hurting too much.

Led Zeppelin allas do it for me and I think I'm being quoted out of context on the Deep Purple front, they're another one I'm well into and just as it 'appens Speed King is playing on Planet Rock as I type.

I agree with spot 778 and Ramone and everyone else come to think of it..............this thread reminds me of the worst record I ever bought. iIt was some album by the very things (the enigmatic shend).....oh that and the dickies............whoah better stop - going off topic here.
