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'!

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Two tier PIP

      By Spartacus · Posted

      @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.

      Two tier PIP

      I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
