    Hardly the point. Axl Rose sounds like a complete cock but I'm sure as shit not missing him and the boys when they're here in Feb.

    @MN5 their music doesn't do much for me either but I wouldn't want to see them under a bus.

    Is Axl still huffing oxygen during the guitar solos?

    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.

    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.

    Fucking great show.

    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.

    @Donsteppa Some good picks in that article. The Alan Parsons Project are great.

    The other day, antipodean won the internet with the Elisabeth Shue Gif. Today I win. Because, after reading this, you are all going to click on the link and listen to this song. And life, the world, everything, absolutely everything. Is just better when you have listened to this song. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the one, the only. ..... Black. By Pearl Jam.
