I  must have two dozen Pistols /PIL albums which I amassed 25 years ago. The only one I listen to now occasionally is Bollocks.

The Sex Pistols were a McLaren manufactured act... the 70's punk equivalent of the Spice Girls...   ???

The Clash came up with so much good and diverse stuff over several albums...
I agree.  I like the Pistols, but there are so many better punk bands out there. Punk would've happened without them, it was already happening in America.

Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With your lover turning away
Disappointment closing in
Like the walls... and you try...
You try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But you still feel all alone
Wonder why...

The act I don't get is Bob Marley. I hate that sound. The slow plucking guitar.

Yes that's right, plucking  ::)

Oh, mate, saw The Wailers (without Bob, obviously) supporting the Stone Roses a couple of years back.. a solid hour of utter plodding that pleased nobody...

Then again, I just don't reggae at all...

OK, new one.  Anything Radiohead has done since about '98...

Liked a lot of stuff from the first three albums when they had, you know 'songs'... not many since then, so much tuneless wankery!  And people go along with it because, if you don't, you're all 'can't appreciate the genius, maaaaan'...

Newsflash... most fans would like some actual moving, intelligent, beautiful songs like 'Fake Plastic Trees' or 'The Bends'...

IMO, anyway...  :o

Thats a post I coulda pretty much wrote myself. From Kid A onwards they ditched guitars and good songs to sounds and noises with some words. Shame
 Great band and saw em live before they lost me.

Radiohead - disappeared up their over blown sense of importance years ago. I'm all for trying new stuff but surely it has to be listenable not just a bunch of turgid muso wankery for the sake of it.  You'll have gathered I'm not a great fan.  ;D

And what about this lot, never got 'em, never enjoyed 'em: Queen. Anything good about them Muse do a million times better  :P

'Anna... just killed a man...'

Loved Queen as a kid and I still think there was some good stuff in the 70's, but they really started to suck in the 80's...

Love Muse though... one of my faves of recent years...

If it hadn't have been for that bloody Waynes World film we could have all lived in peace but no, every pisshead at 2 in the morning now thinks we all need to hear how great they can sing.. And if that wasn't bad enough there was the spectacle of that poodle haired numpty playing on the roof of Buckingham Palace  >:(  ;D

And as for :
