So sad.

Hmmmm!
I suppose you had to have been there.
There was no correlation with music ability or good looks.
It was more about a way of life and a drastic need for change with music and culture.
Has it really taken you 30 years to have listened to them?
Probably I suspect.....

Oh no !!!!! 
.... been playing "I live off you" over the last couple of weeks as at the moment that is the best song n the world, will play the entire

^^^^ As for their stuff being rubbish - take a good listen, cracking tunes, sensible lyrics and great use of saxophone.

"I whip my hair back to front" repeat several hundred times, call it a 'tune'. How many more 'Rihanna'
'tunes' can we bear.
Alternatively, anything and everything nostalgic, with a message from different times, gets me weeping. I'm just old, I know.
Imagine the grief to come, ACDC members, Jagger, Collins, will all go. RIP Poly.

'Germ Free Adolescents', the best all the '70s punk debuts.
Made when going to see a band didn't mean being 50 yards from the stage.
Real rock'n'roll. None of this Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Guns and Roses, Killers bollocks.
