Just listening to Oasis performing Daytripper live, just summat that I downloaded whilst staying at me Bros while he was on his hols.

 

What gets me is this, will we ever, ever have a band that will reach the heights that the Beatles or the Stones created back in their day?

 

What with Pop Idol etc. seems to me that nowadays it's all commercial. I do love Oasis and to me personally they are the last of a dead breed of true rock and rollers! Yeah I know they have taken the p1ss by using Abba chords and claiming to have not copied the Beatles at every mile marker...but...

 

Will a new breed of bands/solo artists ever be worthy of holding the best band in the world title? Shame! We live in such a commercial world when it comes down to the music scene! IMHO!

 

Your views much appreciated as ever...

What about U2? They're class & have knocked out loads of great songs. I heard that the song 'One' was voted the best song ever!

 

yes U2 are very good, and so are/were Pink Floyd IMHO

I would agree with the above, U2 have been consistently good from day one.

 

Let's not forget Led Zep either though, I only recently started to listen to their stuff and think it's fookin' excellent!

or Mike Oldfield who's been going 31 years and released about 20 studio albums :duffer:

U2 make some good tunes but what an arse Bono is. He's been banging on in the papers saying that the government should give billions (of our money) to feed people in Africa or somewhere. Now I would imagine someone as rich as him has a whole team of accountants investing his cash all over the world to save on taxation, so if he wants to send pot noodles to the third world then he can stump up the cash himself.

Paul

Yeah I agree mate, Bonio should be able to buy Africa a few times over with his fotune! Someone eMail the piss stained sunglassed one and tell him to cough up for a few million chicken and mushroom's...oh and a kettle...just one kettle though, that should keep them entertained for a few years! ROFL :)

...oh and a kettle...just one kettle though, :)

 

But without the plug :rofl:

But without the plug :rofl:

 

LMFAO :)

 

Not much point sending them a kettle or noodles for that matter, no bleedin' H20 to make the things with anyway! LOL :)

I used to be in a band.

We toured Europe twice and had a record. It was a long ime ago.

 

A few years a go I was into the 'dance' thing but I'm too old for that now (29).

 

I've been listening to country music recently like David Allen Coe and Jonny Cash. Yes, I know it's easy to know... until you actually listen to it.

 

There are some unaceptably racist lyrics but otherwise it's the best music I've ever listened to. It really comes from the heart of people who've lived some crazy lives. Forget Dolly Parton and download 'If that ain't country' by David Allen Coe. It's like a brilliant novel and film in one song.

 

 

 

:dance:

Easy to 'knock'! Why do I never preview?

Oh my God - shoot me now !

Elvis had a good voice and was fairly handsome -that's it - down side is he was in love with himself and had no taste; and was cheesier than camembert. A tacky egomaniac.

 

Some half-decent songs, but NOT written by Elvis.

Drop a Stone on a Beatle "SORTED".Drop a Beatle on a Stone "IT GETS A HEADACH" :dance: :dance: :dance:

I must admit no-one in real life (ie not on t'internet) has been that impressed by my fad for country. But check this out...

 

THE OLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATTOOS AND SCARS

HE GOT SOME IN PRISON AND OTHERS IN BARS

THE REST HE GOT WORKING' ON OLD JUNK CARS

IN THE DAYTIME

THEY LOOKED LIKE TOMBSTONES IN OUR YARD

AND I NEVER SEEN HIM WHEN HE WASN'T TIRED AND MEAN

HE SOLD USED PARTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET

COVERED WITH GREASE FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FEET

CUSSING' THE SWEAT AND THE TEXAS HEAT

AND skeeterz

AND THE NEIGHBORS SAID WE LIVED LIKE HICKS

BUT THEY BRUNG THEIR CARS FOR PA TO FIX ANYHOW

HE WAS VETERAN-PROUD, TRIED AND TRUE

HE'D FOUGHT TILL HIS HEART WAS BLACK AND BLUE

DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE'D MADE IT THROUGH THE HARD TIMES

HE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE ON THE G.I. BILL

BUT IT WASN'T WORTH ALL HE HAD TO KILL TO GET IT

HE DRANK PEARL IN A CAN AND JACK DANIELS BLACK

CHEWED TOBACCO FROM A MAIL POUCH SACK

HAD AN OLD DOG THAT WAS TRAINED TO ATTACK

SOMETIMES

HE'D GET DRUNK AND MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE

AND THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH

THAT HE WOULD TAKE FROM A STRANGER

THERE WERE THIRTEEN KIDS AND A BUNCH OF DOGS

A HOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A YARD FULL OF HOGS

I SPENT THE SUMMERTIME CUTTING' UP LOGS FOR THE WINTER

TRYING' LIKE THE DEVIL TO FIND THE LORD

WORKING' LIKE A (CENSORED) FOR MY ROOM AND BOARD

COAL-BURIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY,

IT'LL HAIR LIP THE POPE

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE

I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY,

AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS

RECITATION:

MAMA SELLS EGGS AT A GROCERY STORE

MY OLDEST SISTER IS A FIRST-RATE WHORE

DAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANYMORE

AND HE MEANS IT

MA JUST SITS AND KEEPS HER SILENCE

SISTER, SHE LEFT 'CAUSE DAD GOT VIOLENT

AND HE KNOWS IT

MAMA SHE'S OLD FAR BEYOND HER TIME

FROM CHOPPING TOBACCO AND I'VE SEEN HER CRYING'

WHEN BLOOD STARTED FLOWING' FROM HER CALLOUSED HAND AND

IT HURT ME

SHE'D JUST KEEP WORKING' TRYING' TO HELP THE OLD MAN

TO THE END OF ONE ROW AND BACK AGAIN LIKE ALWAYS

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH HELL SINCE JUNIOR WENT TO JAIL

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED

TO GET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND PRAY

BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM

TOLD ALL THE NEIGHBORS HE WAS OFF IN THE WAR

FIGHTING' FOR FREEDOM,

HE'S GOOD TO THE CORE AND SHE'S PROUD

NOW OUR PLACE WAS A GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOMOBILES

AT THE END OF THE PORCH THERE WAS FOUR STACKS OF WHEELS

AND TIRES FOR SALE FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO

CASH

THERE WAS FIFTY HOLES IN AN OLD TIN ROOF

ME AND MY FAMILY WE WAS LIVING' PROOF

THE PEOPLE WHO FORGOT ABOUT POOR WHITE TRASH

AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'LL HAIR LIP THE POPE

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE

I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY,

AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH

IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS

I'M THINKING TONIGHT OF MY BLUE EYES

CONCERNING THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD

I DIDN'T KNOW GOD MADE HONKY-TONK ANGELS

AND WENT BACK TO THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE

sounds like a bag 'o' fun :rolleyes:
