I love the stone roses, but with hindsight that's a fine point. It stands the test of time, I've gone off many an album I love, but the songs are still good, however right time right place is spot on, I can't see it appealing much to those who weren't there, say in the way that Dark Side of the Moon continues to make every 17 year old who's just started smoking gear and stumbles upon it think he's the first to do either, or both.


In the spirit of honesty I'll add My Bloody Valentine, top work by Shields bankrupting a label and all, but...

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Just horrible. Dark Side of the Moon remains sublime as does The Stone Roses. Great Albums are few and far between and are usually distinguished from merely good albums as containing no fillers just wall to wall top tunage. Musics entirely subjective though and has fuelled many a row in my household and over an ale. My Brother admitting to being a 'bit of a Coldplay fan' over the festive period was tantamount to a declaration of war and I fear Xmas suffered as a result.

Anyone who does not rate Oasis, is a schmuck.

Did Jeremy suggest that a lack of appreciation of The Clash, suggested that the suggestee was an an utter c*nt?

If he didn't then take it from me, they are a knownothing c*ntbollox. And that's the truth.

If you suggest The Beatles are overated, you're a fool. A foolish lunatic with a hatred for pop music.

The next you'll be telling me that you don't like Bob Dylan.

Honestly, you will.

Bob Dylan I could leave... not that I have really listened to enough to judge.


However, I have never understood anyone who claims not to rate The Beatles. I can't think of any other band that has come close to producing so many amazing songs with such a variety of styles in such a short period of time. Ok, they was some dross in there too (most songs ringo ended up singing) but the sublime ones more than compensate.


Oasis.... well, the first two albums were pretty great... the third was dreadful, they've got better in recent years, but not sure they have ever got back to their original heights... feels a bit like the moment has passed - unlike Blur they didn't really evolve much.

Oasis are simply rock.

They have one of the all time great front men in Liam, can sing when he wants to and drops into being a vocalist when necessary.

He can hold an audience by standing still, with his hands behind his back, and is one of only a few people who can look good wearing shades indoors.

His older brother writes fine songs, and though they reference the Beatles, I think that 70's glam rock is more his bag.

But that's just me.

I agree, I don't like Oasis and never will.

Not sure if they qualify as a band or a group but Take that are a gang of wankers.

The Kooks = the cocks.

Most of the bands mentioned at the beginning of this thread are before my time. Foe some reason I find that if I don't like a member or members of a band or group this usually if not always results in me disliking the music they play.

So BBW, Oasis are not your 'thang'. And you'll never like them? I think then you're not keen on the rock, generally.

As for Take That, what of Back For Good? I reckon anyone who doesn't reckon that as a fantastic song, is somneone that I wouldn't be able to cuddle up to.

And I'd not do that with a Kook.

I'm not entirely sure HonaloochieB. I always thought that Oasis were classed as Brit pop. I agree that rock doesn't feature very much in my collection but I wouldn't dismiss the whole of Rock altogether. Craig David is another Twat I forgot to mention but I've dealt with him already.

Dealt with him? Is that why we've been saved from any recent releases from him?


As for Brit pop.... in my opinion a bit of an unhelpful label placed on pretty much every British band who played their own instruments from about 1994 - 1996. I am not sure some of them had much more in common than that.


Was a time I remember with some affection though - lots of good music around, and I was fresh out of university so not yet disillusioned by the world of work and enjoying having more than two pence to rub together after the student years. Ho hum, I'm going to get all nostalgic now!

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
