I remember Jed Clampett of the Beverley Hill Billies (ask your Grandad ) sang a spoof song (badly). The next day a girl played Bob Dylan at school and I offended her by guessing it was Jed Clampett. Can never think of Dylan without thinking of the Beverley Hillbillies.
OK, I know you support Portsmouth and everything, and we've put up with your strange ways, but you've just crossed the line. You clearly don't have a single musical bone in your brain.
I am amazed that no one has mentioned David Bowie, who has lit up music since the 70's, and continues to do so now!
I saw Less Than Jake in Brighton last year. Ran into old faces I hadn't seen for 10 years. Everyone was fatter and uglier, but still the same.
Yeah, him too. I looked at my list again and the things I didn't put down, like Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, and David Bowie, were ridiculous.
Saw them in 2012, along with Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish. LTJ and RBF have got old and tired, but dude from Goldfinger is still exactly the same. They were awesome.
On the topic of music that everyone except PL probably likes, Radiohead are going back into the studio in September. #hype
Tbh, Glee has been going down hill somewhat recently. And maybe I am an 11 year old girl. But how about I post my top 25 most played songs according to iTunes, then you can decide how bad or otherwise my music taste is.
And you haven't even mentioned Bowie, Dylan, Costello, Lennon (solo), Paul Simon (solo), Lou Reed, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross (solo) The Who, The Stones, The Ramones, Television, Steel Pulse Two-Tone, New Wave, etc etc...The 70s was the last great decade of originality and much of what has happened since has been derivative rock or soulless RnB, Rap or watered down reggae.
In descending order, from most played: Ed Sheeran - The A-Team The Common Linnets - Calm After the Storm (Netherlands' Eurovision 2014 song) Elton John - Sacrifice Natalie Imbruglia - Torn Avicci - Hey Brother Goyte - Giving Me a Chance Keane - Nothing In My way Avicci & Nicky Romero - I Could Be The One Don Henley - End of The Innocence Green Day - Whatsername Tom Petty - Free Fallin' Anne Hathaway - I Dreamed a Dream (from Les Mis, the 2012 film) Joan Franka - You and Me (Netherlands' Eurovision 2012 song) Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know Robert Palmer - Johnny and Mary Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered Dreams Blink-182 - I Miss You Joseph McManners - The Little Prince Song Bee Gees - Massachusetts Otto Knowes - Million Voices Taylor Swift - State of Grace Lucy Spraggan - Mountains Blondie - Union City Blue Daniel Huttlestone - Paris/Look Down (from Les Mis, the 2012 film) Talking Heads - Once In a Life Time I think there's a few credible songs there, and nothing too bad! Songs which are just outside my top 25 One Republic - Counting Stars Sarah McLachlan - Angel David Grey - Be Mine The Killers - Exitlude Just for your interest, my most played Glee song is my joint 99th most played song on my Itunes, a cover of I'll Remember by Madonna
Thom Yorke has been in the studio with Nigel Godrich for a little while now, I can tell you that for certain. (I'm being admirably restrained on the rest of this conversation, but the criticism of 70s music (by far and away the best decade) and subsequently Led Zeppelin had me teetering toward a rant!)
Elton John, Tom Petty, Don Henley/Eagles, Talking Heads, Bee Gees, Blondie and Robert Palmer all made their name in the 1970s...
You're right PL, the likes of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page couldn't hold a candle to the originality and pure musical genius of that list........ And Lucy Spraggan is a lot better at the acoustic singer-songwriter stuff than Bob Dylan. Obviously. (Although in fairness, Zep were incredibly derivative of old blues songs of course, but that's probably not a necessary discussion right now).
