"tight? he's the kinda guy that eats baked beans on tuesday so's he can have a bubble bath on wednesday"!
I liked Wings and 10cc in the 1970s ...
Anyone remeber who the later got their name ?
I think so, rather unpleasant if I remember correctly!Originally Posted by Crusader Al

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
had to look it up, urban legend apparently (unless the unpleasantness referred to was being in Johnaton Kings dream?).

Ach no, so it's not true ....
Summat to do with the average cubic-centimetres accumulated from each male ejaculation?Ach no, so it's not true ....
Also can't believe that no-one is mentioning Stiff Little Fingers here, Inflamable Material, being one of the truely great punk albums of all time.
Finally 12th Man I hope you will be mentioning that effort and many fine others when it comes around to memorable music of the 80's and 90's
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
bullseye there pat o,
how could we not acknowledge jake and the boys.very underrated because of the competition at the time.the undertones got the lions share of what was available .always preffered SLF myself
Jake Whatisname went to the same school in Belfast ...
Thought it was amusing when someone changed SLF to Silly Little Fu.ckers ...

jake burns if im not mistakin,had a band then called jake burns and the big wheel.

Back again. Reopened this thread because it's interesting. I like the punk and new wave bands of the late seventies mostly like Blondie, Pistols, Clash, Jam Buzzcocks, Stranglers, X Ray Spex, Ramones, Patti Smith, Rudi, Undertones, Boomtown Rats, Cars, and Joe Jackson. I think the late seventies was the most exciting era in music since the mid-sixties. Pre-punk I like Bowie, Thin Lizzy and Dr Feelgood.
Also like some of Stiff Little Fingers stuff. Was talking to their ex-guitarist Henry Cluney in a punk forum. He seems a nice bloke. He also happens to support Rangers. A lot a people criticised SLF for cashing in the troubles. The Undertones were always slagging them off in the press.
Another interesting fact about Stiff Little Fingers is that the drummer Jimmy Reilly's brother and Bananarama tour manager, Thomas was murdered by a British soldier on Internment Day 1983 in West Belfast. Private Ian Thain was the first British soldier to found guilty of murder. Jimmy was the only Catholic member of SLF.
Joe Jackson's I'm the Man is brilliant. It's one of my favourite songs. I'd love to see him live. Another great seventies song is "So Strong" by Graham Parker and the Rumour. It has real heavy lyrics about abortion. Parker's vocals sound a bit like Jackson's.
If you can get your hands on that album, sell your granny for it, its fantastic...
Can't believe no one nominated
Elvis Costello and the Attractions,
The Jam,
The Blades,
Thin Lizzy, or
The Skids
My own favourites would be
Rawwk:
Steely Dan, Rush.
Pre-punk:
Queen, T. Rex
After '76: (actually impossible to choose one)
Clash, Jam, Elvis Costello, Police, Stranglers, Cure, Joy Division, Television, Souxsie & the Banshees, Billy Bragg, U2, Skids, UB40, The Beat, Specials.
With the exception of Steely Dan, T. Rex and Rush, I saw every other band live in concert.
Genesis were actually ok when that little w*nker Collins was buried behind the drumkit.
Kate Bush is probably the best Brit female after Dusty Springfield. Some of her albums are absolute magic.
christ I thought i was on my own! "Do it Again" is one of my favourite songs ever
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Personally for me (being Punk), The Ruts, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks, Irish band The Radiators would all have to get a mention.
The Bay City Rollers weren't that bad. Don't really remember them much, I was only born in 1972. The Ramones claimed them influence and I've seen a picture of Damian O'Neill of the Undertones in a Rollers t-shirt! Their lead singer Les McKeown was a Sex Pistols fan! The Rollers were probably as big an influence on punk as Iggy Pop.
As for ska/mod Madness, the Specials, the Beat and the Jam were brilliant. I forgot to mention Talking Heads and the B52's. The B52's Rock Lobster is one of my favourites. I even like some Deep Purple.
Made a mistake. Parker's song is actually called "You Can't be Too Strong".
right i've kept my mouth shut on this for long enough and be prepared for a shock, THE BEE GEES !!!!, disco classics, you should be dancing is one of the best produced tracks of all time and nights on broadway is great too.....go ahead and laugh, but i love me cheese
oh and i agree with macy about status quo
bowie = legend
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
