This thread shortly to be renamed "Guilty Pleasures" methinks


Tillie - your anti-snob comment says it takes bravery to stand up to popular opinion but then you state that the popular opinion is against popular music... I'm confused! ;-)


Music will always be the most entertainingly divisive issue though - but in a harmless way.


A good song is a good song is a good song - be it obscure or popular. But popular doesn't necessarily equate to good surely? (hello Sun newspaper.. hello Every Thing I Do I Do It For You etc)


As well as guilty pleasures can anyone come up with a song that EVERYONE likes?


Anyone not like "Hey Ya"? f'rinstance?

No woman no cry?


I don't think anyone was being music snobby earlier. It was largely agreed that Coldplay have had some classic tunes (along with some shite). My real issue with them is Chris Martin as a personality, not the music. Plus, a quick look through my record collection would reveal some "awful" stuff that I love! I even own 2 Avril Lavigne albums (although Fear n' boozing "borrowed" one in 2003, and it hasn't been seen since).


I love Hey Ya!!!!!


Hey Jude, there's a song that whilst not the best song in the world, gets everyone singing along at the end because they don't have to remember any actual words other than the title! Genuis.

Indeed, I don't think there was any snobbery going on. I may be a bit of a muso but i don't think I'm a snob by any stretch.

If music is good then I don't care if it's God Speed You! Black Emperor or Girls Aloud!


I'll admit Avril's done some quality catchy pop, I just wish she'd stop believing she's some sort of moody expression of disillusioned youth and admit she's a pretty girl that does catchy pop; it doesn't wash girl, seriously.

Doooood? She?s a pretty girl who does catchy pop, wears fishnets, has black nail polish and can do the devil-horns-salute-thingy with the best of ?em. That?s her pop star persona. They all have one.


She will never be a patch on Slutty Spice though, back in her flame-red hair and jiggerly bits heyday.

I actually on Avril's side there, I don't think it's that she didn't get it, I think it's just that he's not at all funny. I would have sat there straight faced too. Also, if someone doesn't go for one of your jokes, please please please on't push on through to the punchline anyway!

Well you see Sean I was sort of being ironic in that the muso's all hate "Popular" music, so in a round about way they have there own criteria of whats cool/worthy and therefore make that music their "Popular" music.


Do you know I havent even had a drink and I dont understand what Im talking about.:-$

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
