Guilty Pleasures

[Anna Woman von NRW]

when we were younger and cooler, we would never dare to admitted it. 

Been too long for me to remember those times................... I thought they told me I would lose my short term memory

When you reach middle age, there are three things you can expect to loose.

The first thing is your memory.















































Can't remember what the other two are

Sorry, Shush, have we spoken before...   

IMO, 'pop' music is an expression that has been degraded by too many studio executives throwing any old crap at gullible kids with too much pocket money... it means POPULAR and I don't mean something that will be forgotten in six months time, like so many acts are nowadays... I mean something that will still sound great on the radio (or your own stereo) in 10, 20, 30 years time...

My first love will always be the kind of rock / alternative / 'indie' (whatever the **** that means, many of the so-called indie bands were funded by major labels, but that's another discussion) music that I post about... but I can also think of songs by the likes of Sugababes, Robbie Williams, (those last two mentioned in previous posts), Duran Duran, ABBA, FGTH, The Stylistics, The Bee Gees, not to mention so much classic Motown stuff, that I like, whether through nostalgic memories or a genuine appreciation of the songwriting... it's far harder to write a 'classic' pop song than some tuneless, fuzzy-guitar crap that will be trendy for five minutes... yes, early 90's grunge era, I'm looking at you... no, not you, Nirvana, you had some fine tunes...

Just my humble opinion, anyway...

[Heno]

i feel no guilt about loving nirvana

[Shush]

Me neither mate, one of the best bands ever 

[Master Ray]

Me neither, Heno and Shush, I was just saying how I hate the fact that they're lumped in with other bands from that same scene and era who were just utter cockbobbins... 

[Heno]

yeah well, just be more careful about what makes you feel guilty....k?

[Shush]

Used to be into Mud Honey at around the same time, and even saw them live, but they seemed to disappear. Whether Nirvana were the first, or what ever of the early 90s grunge scene, they are certainly the most memorable

[Heno]

i never got any of the other bands in the grunge scene

just nirvana

went to seattle for the first time in 1989 and got a taste for it all. kurt was stunning. almost untouchable. seriously. such a sad sad end. messed up.

[Shush]

Very jealous !!!

to my eternal shame, Nirvana played Rock City in Nottingham, 1991 before I was into them, I did not go.

Barty here did though, with his brother.

Now its a bit like hearing people 20 years older than myself telling me that they saw HendriX.

Ah well, at least I saw NMA a few times   

[Master Ray]

yeah well, just be more careful about what makes you feel guilty....k?

Um, not being funny Heno mate, but specifically saying  'not you Nirvana, you had some fine tunes' indicates that I WASN'T lumping Nirvana in with the other bands I was talking about... k?

[Heno]

now wherea is that sarcasm emoticon?

[Shush]

Now now chaps, we have had a good night, a few drinks, now lets wipe our mouths, and move onto the next pub 

[Heno]

pistols at dawn

[Shush]

Heno mi ode, I am happy to listen to the Pistols any time of the day..
