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.:-$

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
