Highly overated bands....

I did edit that because it was a cheap shot. so I followed it up with a more appropriate point.

[Mikecg]

Time will tell.

The test of time and remembrance to some extent will be dictated by the media that drives how the the music is heard.

But as for how we come to be where we are now in pop music I'm fancying my three 'B's theory.

Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Berry Gordy.

[HonaloochieB]

Though they're not in order of importance you understand.

[????]

and what about Bay City Rollers

[Mikecg]

Yes HB, I like your style, Bob is a great songwriter.

[cate]

10,000 Maniacs is not overrated, however not heard often.

Bob is indeed a mighty songwriter. But a law should be passed stopping him from singing his own songs.

[Mikecg]

Hence my Bob is a great songwriter comment.

"Bob is a great songwriter."

Yes, the shake-and-vac commercial and the Teletubbies theme were definitely two of his masterpieces.

[Keef]

Okay, like them or not, can we please not compare the Beatles to Mozart! He was absolute genius, they were decent song writers from Liverpool!

[Brendan]

It?s a bit like comparing a skateboard to a Rolls Royce. They are similar in the fact that they both have 4 wheels each and are used as a mode of transport but the comparison ends there.

Before you ask, no I don?t know how many wheels Mozart had.

[????]

A roller weighs over a ton

[Brendan]

Which is very important I'll have you know.

[Mikecg]

If you bothered to read what I said in my earlier post, you will see that I made no comparison, I just gave my oppinion as to how important they are, that's all.

Kirk out!

Mikecg :

Whats happening M8?

Wanted another fix of that fine Guitar and "A/C Deleted"??

Can I hear those Tracks anywhere please?

[Mikecg]

Yo Tony I fixed my signature, it had a drink induced typo HA!.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Keane

Kaiser Chiefs

Ting Tings

[Keef]

I rather like the Ting Tings, but agree with the other 2 (although Kaiser Chiefs have done a couple of really good tracks).

[HonaloochieB]

I'd like to see Blur, but not at Hyde bloody Park.

I'd think twice about attending the second coming of Christ if it was held there.

Besides my band reunion needs are being amply met this year by the Mott The Hoople shows in October.

[SeanMacGabhann]

this! oh dear me it's a lifeless twilight zone for a music gig

[Keef]

Agreed!

Although O2 festival was fun last year, but they kept it reasonably small, and I thought it was really well organised.

Other times I've been there it's been shite!
