Music heroes

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.

An excellent list - if you were over 40. :wink: But no use to me when I'm trying to engage with my 20 year old son. Any idea who Towers of London are?

Hello :)

As a sucker for drummers the influence of Ginger Baker amd Terry Ollis can't be overlooked and for the huge consuption of drugs and special brew before taking to the stage, my old mate Freddy Doyle deserves a mention.
Obviously :von: for his multi-layered lyrical genius.
Lemmy stands out as the last hero of rock I want to mention.

I was thinking about it the other day, and it seems to me there hasn't been any new rock music genre since neo metal (which, unfortunately, was and still is pure wank), and, before that, grunge.
All that rock revival we've seen in the last ten years ? There might be some good bands here and there, but there's nothing new.

indeed most sad thing about modern music (rock) scene is that is pure copy from a copy of copy nothing really new and fresh only mix rock with something else.

There was also Techno and Drum'n Bass ... but - lookin back - this was only sort of swan song for the Seventies, IMHO ...

... and now we're more or less back to where we were before ... :wink: ...

I propose a new genre of Acid-Skiffle... that would shake things up a bit.

Hmm, I see :P
well, I'm sorry lol...but you think it's tough for you to engage with your son?? Think of me, a 16 year old attempting to hold a conversation with my friends, with the taste I have...not successful :P

how about Nick Cave? My 19 year old cousin is a big fan....I am too, a huge fan, although my taste seems hardly age appropriate so....

Oh, and as for Towers of London, I've heard of them around, never got into them...does he like The Libertines? Or New York Dolls? Not a huge fan of the Libertines, but I like New York Dolls

The Birthday Party were better. :notworthy:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Is that because Eldritch said the Sisters where better than The Birthday Party? When they so obviously aren't better than The Bad Seeds or Grinderman :D

We all know the Doc-hat, but not sure about the Dolls, though he's more likely to know them than anything contemporary. Oasis always seem to win. I blame myself. Too much Champagne Supernova in his early years.
