I've seen him say that he would swap all of his songwriting credits for having written Never Mind The Bollocks. I think he would be significantly in credit on half of that the album but it's all subjective. I'm no great fan of Elvis or The Beatles but they've sold a lot more records than artists/bands that I prefer to them. So, maybe it's me who's wrong? I do think he's a colossal twat, though...but hes not alone in that. Captain Sensible all but trade marked acting like one. I prefer Dave Vanian - he never gives interviews, hates publicity and just loves recording and being on stage and going home to his Mrs, daughter and motorcycles. My kind of guy.
No I am with you Brian, never been a fan of Elvis or any 50s rock 'n'roll, though I understand the influence they had on the bands that followed, I do like the mid period Beatles albums like Revolver and Rubber Soul, and with my 'mod' hat on I love the great English 60s bands like The Small Faces, The Kinks, and The Who, though I am too young to remember them in the 60s, and it was my love of The Jam that got me to go back to their influences and I think that the original 'mod' bands were better than the revivalists of 1979, (though I did like some of those too). Anyway this is the wrong thread for this really and there is football this afternoon, which demands out attention
I hope we're all looking forward to the pundits not paying attention to the 23 League Two clubs that aren't Salford City next season...
Good to see that Sky have got a nice balanced set of pundits for today - Just the 4 ex Liverpool players involved across the 2 matches (and Yaya)
Rangers gain back-to-back league wins over Celtic for the first time in seven years I wonder what their current manager is saying about their prospects next year?
Had de Gea not made that mistake against Chelsea and Utd had won 1-0, wins v Huddersfield and Cardiff would have been enough for 3rd. Even a team as bad as this Utd team couldn't mess that up. Oh yes, they could. This is the big disappointment. Utd had the most gilt-edged of gilt-edged opportunities and failed miserably.
