Your welcome to your opinion I was merely voicing mine, and in my eyes putting them alongside the Beatles or Pink Floyd is a joke, I'm not telling you not to say it am I? I am allowed to disagree and that's what I did.


Well perhaps if you feel I am welcome to my opinion, and don't like it when people react strongly to your posts, you shouldn't rubbish their views. It's music, nobody likes exactly the same thing. Quite happy to admit I don't like having my views trashed.

Fair enough, I suppose I could of put it differently, I just have a particular dislike for Muse. I would hardly say I 'thrashed' or rubbished your views though, my opinion is that they don't compare to those bands, clearly you disagree. I just think they're overrated by a lot of people.

I have never been to a basketball match in my life. Used to watch it on TV, but unless the scores were close it just seemed pointless - I never saw a team claw back 10 points or more.

I won't spoil the music thread but teams come back from that kind of deficit and worse all the time. Sometimes within minutes.

I actually agree with LH on this one. For me Public Enemy are the greatest band of all time, better than the Beatles, Pink Floyd etc.

People will no doubt mock my stance, but who is someone else to say what music is to me?

Natasha, Public Enemy were the first live band I ever saw. Supported by the Beastie Boys on the Def Jam tour. They are in fact amongst the best bands I've ever seen.
And I'll put "It takes A Nation Of Millions" up against any album you want and prove why it's better.
Except maybe "Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury" by The Disposable Heroes Of Hypocrisy.

why don't you just say your favourite band is public enemy rather than make a complete tit of yourself by coming out with an idiotic statement like that .

Nobody makes music like Bob Marley and The Wailers, anymore. Music of revolution, meaning, anthems that galvanised nations and had people of every colour, class and creed singing along. One good thing about music - when it hits, you feel no pain.

Idiotic? I wasn't rubbishing Pink Floyd or The Beatles, both great bands, but for me Public Enemy made better music and were lyrically lightyears ahead of everyone else.

Wish I'd seen the Def Jam tour, I've heard some great tales. The first time I saw PE was in 1991 on the 'Bring Tha Noise' tour with Anthrax. Since then I've seen them play all around the world.

I love 'It Takes a Nation Of Millions' but my favourite PE album is 'Fear Of a Black Planet'.

To me music is made up of memories. Like Angry Dad, the 60's were my stamping ground, and I loved all the new groups, the one-hit-wonders, everything. Wasn't at the age, or had the money, to go to live shows, (or gigs), and even now listen to the old songs on Gold Radio. As time has gone on, my interest has waned with the groups, music, what they do, etc. Had to suffer the shit my daughters liked, 'Garage', whatever that was, and some way out black stuff that I didn't understand a bloody word of. My tastes vary quite a bit, from Rhianna, to classical, to pop, etc, but is always rooted in the 60's, a fantastic time of growing up in a world that was changing all the time, and all for the better, unlike today.

Russ Abbott was very underrated. I'd love to know where he got that jumper from.

Hi hope you dont mind my making a contribution but being a rock fan the one thing you dont do is watch the X Factor. The only saving grace is the off buton.

Contribute away, LW - that's why we are here.

And to say mean things to other people when they disagree with you. Very Happy

I will never read a more stupid post than this. A hip hop band are light years ahead of the Beatles. I figured you for a fairly intelligent poster , I will never again take any of your posts seriously. The Beatles have sold over a billion records, they will last forever like Beethoven and Mozart,they are the reason that tommy steel, cliff Richard and the shadows and the like did not continue to flourish. I had a neighbour called russ Conway once he told me he was set to make a fortune then the Beatles came and changed the face of music. They developed like no other group ever they set the benchmark for every one else. To say a hip hop group is light years ahead of them is stupidity beyond belief. I suggest you google the Beatles see where they stand then google public enemy.

I should think Britney Spears has sold a billion records, does that make her the best female singer of all time?

Again, I wasn't putting down the Beatles, just saying I prefer Public Enemy. I doubt for a minute you know anything about PE, so it's pretty pointless me trying to argue my side.

Britney has sold around a hundred million. Does not compare with madonna even. You are not the audience targeted by public enemy .

I would instinctively guess at the Floyd because of their skill and experimentation, but different strokes and all that...

I get the distinction you made earlier in your post, I do think there is a lot to be said for 70s popular music though. I don't want to get into a mindset where I think that unless I see a drum kit and a couple of guitars in a band they are not very good. I saw Kool and the Gang on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury last year and it was brilliant fun. Bopping away to 'Get Down On It' and 'That's The Way I Like It', they did a 15 minute version of 'Jungle Boogie'. 70s 'pop' acts like that rightly have a prominent place in history. It;s not musical genius on the level of Lennon or Waters or anyone like that, but there are very few pop songs today like that.

It's not fashionable to like Coldplay but they are immense live. Their first three albums, Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head and X&Y were superb. The two most recent albums, Viva La Vida and Mylo Xyloto don't have the same edge.

You should give Muse a go, particularly 'Absolution' from 2004. I saw them perform most of that album, in the set I have posted below, and they have that epic, otherworldly feel that the Floyd had at their best, and they rock. Watching that performance up on the hill, it almost brought me to tears to be honest. I think they are the only modern band that have the progressive genius of The Beatles or Floyd.



Oh and a little amateur footage from Jungle Boogie
I don't give a monkeys wether its not cool to like Coldplay LH they are the dogs right now I love em. Talk about different taste I find the early albums dreary and my favs are viva and mylo by miles . My top 5 ever bands are 1. Beatles. 2.Genesis .3 Bee gees.4 Rolling Stones.5.Simon & Garfunkel.--- with Coldplay to keep me happy in the present but I don't see anything else for me when they go.

Safe music. Boring and bland. Did you forget Dire Straits?
