What are you listening to, right now................
-
Not a big fan of Fleetwood Mac......even less of the whole "one bloke and an acoustic guitar" schtick....my dream would be to have Ed Sheeran, Jack Johnson, James Blunt and Pete Murray all thrown under the same bus....
all that being said this song is just beautiful. Love it, fond memories of my folks having this on record back in the day.

Have you seen the Top Gear episode where Blunt is the star in a reasonably priced car? That guy has totally got his shit together.
His twitter feed is brilliant too.

He fully admits his music is to make money. And yea, some of his Twitter put downs of people trying to heckle him are hilarious

Hats off to him for doing that and of course for serving in the military too.
But his music is only surpassed by Sheerans for it's sappy, unlistenable shitness.....
.....and no I wouldn't have sat through Top Gear in a million years either, I'd like to rip Clarksons arm off, shove it up Hammonds arse and beat the other fuckwit ( May ? ) to death with it.

All four of those guys you mentioned came across as good sorts when I've seen them interviewed.

Figure of speech, if I had the chance I'd even save them from being under the bus ( maybe on the proviso they give me money and retire from music ? )
I've heard Axl is still awesome live and really that's all that matters.
If you imagine someone being a good sort while you're listening to them it does help but it sure isn't a dealbreaker. John Farnham looks a fucken hoot to have a beer or twenty with but his music is craaaaaaaaaappppp.
There's any number of rock/pop stars who sound like complete fuckheads but so what ? the music is all that is important.....
Mind you then there's someone like Gary Glitter who should have been locked up for crimes against music let alone all the sick shit he got up to when he wasn't famous anymore.

I actually don't mind jack Johnson on in the background of some afternoon beers. It fits.

Fucking great show.

Fuck all this Jack Johnson shit. Move to a cold country and ... slip inside a sleeping bag.

These guys were so good live.
Saw them last in 2002 at the Waterloo Hotel. Had a great night I'm guessing.

you normally catch a bit of heat when you say you like guitar Radiohead over experimental and progressive Radiohead. "Music" people look at you like you are a leper, and say things like "OK Computer is the most important album of the 90s" and other pretentious bollocks.
But fuck that, i think The Bends is brilliant, and this is not only my favourite Radiohead song, but one of my favourite songs from anyone
-
I have three of their albums: Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer.
Overall I think the albums showed progress in terms of musical evolution. Pablo Honey was raw, while The Bends really announced their arrival. OK Computer is good to listen to in terms of how it flows, and it is a good album. But it probably isn't quite as good as The Bends because of the weird shit they were trying on.
After that, they ceased to exist. Thom Yorke is perfectly within his rights to rail against the old music he wrote, as I imagine world tours, playing it over and over, make you shitty about it. But I don't have to buy Kid-A.

That's right you miserable lot (you know who you are): Get off my lawn!
