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!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
