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?

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.:-$

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By claresy · Posted

      The receptionist did request a phone call and there was an issue where seeing the symptoms would have been helpful , plus I had questions I wanted to ask - but I just got a text with very generic advice (e.g. if X happens, go to A&E).  You can definitely request routine appointments by phone. Perhaps it's at the doctor's discretion with same day ones.  Having said all that, I think it's a pretty good surgery compared to some.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      I recommend Andy—he was punctual, tidy, resourceful, clear about timing and pricing, and did quality work at relatively short notice. I would use his services again and have already recommended him to friends.

      You can still  request a phone appointment with a doctor, I think, if it's an issue you need to ask questions about? Or, I have had questions quickly answered by a GP  via their online system. Hopefully all this is teething problems, and the staff as well as patients are having to get to grips with a relatively new system. I can fully understand that it is much better all round if GP face to face appointments are saved for things that need a physical examination, and it must mean that patients who do need one  are seen more quickly than under the old system?
