Bloody philistine. I've heard people say the same sort of thing about reggae. Ignorant cloth-eared dingbats.

I don't 'not like' it. I'm just not into it. Yeah pretty much all modern western music can trace its lineage back to blues... it doesn't necessarily follow that we should all be creaming ourselves over Muddy Waters records or whatever.

In answer to your question, Jeremy, 43 years and counting listening to the same song since the Quo adopted their present format, and yes, I do love them. Sorry Mr. Ben don't agree about 12 bar based sound. Love the clip of Freddie,fantastic,he's often forgotten among the other two "Kings". Got an old VHS recording of him on The Old Grey Whistle Test (with whispering Bob Harris) what a guitar player!! On that subject of great players, what about Leslie West of Mountain fame. When he plays the blues many would argue it is the most beautiful tone ever produced from an electric guitar. A talent that was massively missed in this country, just like the beginning of the Woodstock Festival recordings missed Mountain's set.

but do we/should we measure 'pop' music in an intellectual manner....or is it just what makes you want to 'get down and get with it' or something


If you had a party and had to play just the Stones or just the Beatles all night, I know who I am choosing and it ain't the scouse boys

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By malumbu · Posted

      Who do you prefer: Lib Dem leader Ed Davey, who had earlier in the week voiced his support for Rayner, given her caring duties for her son, tells the BBC he hopes the government can "move on and deal with the huge problems millions of people in our country face". Davey adds that it's "clear" her position became "untenable". "It was inevitable," says Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, adding that "you can't be housing secretary and avoid £40,000 of stamp duty". Farage says Rayner's resignation as deputy leader of the Labour party and deputy PM will trigger an internal election within the Labour party - and "you're going to see the hard left of Labour shouting very, very loudly".

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      By malumbu · Posted

      You are welcome to mine!  Tthey are pests (assuming you are talking about feral pigeons).  We have occasionally wood pigeons, but once the feral ones arrived the wood pigeons disappeared. I feed tits, finches, robins, great spotted woodpecker and other birds from time to time when they appear.  I used squirel proof feeders.

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      By Mabaker · Posted

      Every day at 12 oclock I take out the food to put on the bird feeder. The pigeons, always being very punctual, form a very orderly queue in true British style on the roof of my shed and take it in turns to partake of the feast. (Other birds do get a look in eventually) . However, today, not one single bird has come anywhere near. The sky is silent. What do they know that I don't. Any ideas?
