Revered, overrated Tosspots

I can just picture you stoking up that coal fired Gramaphone Jah.

BBW, whenever I hear Lady in red, which thankfully isn't often, I'm taken back to the backseat of the old banger my dad was driving down to Devon, sat in the back with my sister and the dog, asking if we were nearly there yet.

HERE HERE!

U2, U2 oh and er....U2

Simple Minds

At least the Stone Roses had the decency to split after their "difficult" second album, only wish Oasis had followed the trend.

When a song attempts to be a 'tour-de-force' (as many Springsteen songs do) it'll sound over-blown and pompous should it fail to engage the listener. And the more elaborate the production the more pompous it'll seem. Contrast 'Thunder Road' with another song on an epic scale such as 'Sympathy For The Devil'- the pared-down sound induces the kind of visceral reaction that Brucey could only dream of, without all the faffy production.

Still, it's all down to personal preference though.

Ooh, 'ark at 'im comin' over all 'Drawing Room'!

Oh piffle

David Bowie & The laughing Gnome

How much/money/drugs/plot loosing did that take ?

So I nominate "Dave"

W**F

[Jeremy]

Completely agree with U2 and Razorlight... they seem so bland and pointless.

[*Bob*]

The Rolling Stones

The Ramones

Led Zep

The Smiths

The Kinks

Pink Floyd

New Order

Tom Waits

etc

[bigbadwolf]

You forgot Elton John *Bob*. He's a great big fat c_nt if I ever did see one.

[Muley]

No Woof, it's about a massive rep for artists without a decent body of work to justify it- not the odd dodgy song.

How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggly tail.

How much is that doggy in the window? I do hope that doggy's for sale...

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh also Neil Tennant

His voice reminds me of a cheap travel hair drier on medium speed.

He's not that different in person either.

Oh and Hugh Cornwell is a cock, he had a badly cut hairy burgundy tweedy jacket on (not a crime in it's self ) when I met him last, but it was his refusal to talk about or even acknowledge his part or time with the "Strangler" that did it for me.

I'm sure there are more....

Oh my aching sides. Did your parents have one of those then?

Can I just say U2, Simple Minds, Springsteen, Coldplay, Radiohead and most of all that other similarly overwrought bollocks is a fecking bag o' shite.

[*Bob*]

Chopin

Beethoven

Tchaikovsky

Bach

Schubert

Handel

etc

[Keef]

Agree on Led Zep, and Pink Floyd, although I can forgive them quite a lot for giving us Wish you were here, I love that song.

[giggirl]

I think Robbie is overrated. Unfortunately my best friend is begging me to get her 2 tickets for Robbie at the Roundhouse AND go with her. Give me a frigging break.

I don't mind Take That though. Jason Orange once brushed against me in a very tightly packed bar and I STILL get a shiver thinking about it. Yummie.

[*Bob*]

Galileo

Darwin

Einstein

Newton

etc

Do not underestimate the power of yellow sub. My two year old loves it, as a result of which she was wandering around sainsburys the other day singing the chorus to Hey Bulldog! One of my proudest moments.

[bigbadwolf]

"Oh my aching sides. Did your parents have one of those then?"

I'm afraid to say that they didn't. They had one of those new-fangled cassette players that ran on electricity. Not something I'd imagine you're familiar with Jah. Seeing as the disco's you would've gone to were illuminated with gas lamps, along with the DJ playing the spoons.

Did he write that one too. Well I never . Oh please & don't tell me, your sisters dressed you up as Ziggy Stardust way back when & for a moment you felt "real" like you connected with the man himself, pleeeeease.

I think at times he is Blah blah so there...........stick that in your pipe.

Didn't your mum and dad teach you any mannners and to have respect for your elders? Obviously not. Prick!

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh please insults by PM's please

WE ARE TIRED OF IT

If you catch my drift

W**F

[bigbadwolf]

Of course they did Jah. They just told me never to respect curmudgeonly old grouches who never inherited a sense of humour from their ancestors.

However, since you're an elderly man I'll go a little easier on you.

[HonaloochieB]

I don't know about revered and I'm sure they're not overated, but JL and BBW can certainly achieve the latter part of thread title when they apply themselves.

[bigbadwolf]

I know Hooch. It's one of those ailments I've inherited from a long line of repugnant arseholes.

He started it though.

[Jah Lush]

"He started". A big boy did it and ran away. Grow up you little shit.

Sorry for everyone else but I won't tolerate rude obnoxious little tosspots.
