Sticky: On This Forum You Must Have These Opinions.

[sojourner]

list 1, though i'm fucked if i know why.

No no no - did you miss my post to William? HMHB are beyond, way and above beyond mere LISTS

 

[sojourner]

No, it means that I think they should be on list one. What you think is another matter.

I've only heard a couple of Hlaf Man Half Biscuit tunes. They're one of those bands that I've always meant to listen to properly but never got round to it. I wasn't aware that they would be classified as comedy though, I knwo they are a bit surreal, but when I said comedy music I was referring to crap like Richard Cheese, "comedy" punk covers and Tom Green.

Shut up brat




Go away and listen to some decent music and THEN come back with a valid opinion

list 1, though i'm fucked if i know why.

For "Trumpton Riots" alone they should earn a hallowed place on list 1.

 

[aqua]

Is it OK to like Queen?

No

Ah, they're transcendent, are they?

Ya daft hippy!

 

[ViolentPanda]

No

"Be-elzebub has a devil put aside for bees, for bees, for beeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss"

 

[killer b]

No

they seem to have somehow made it into both lists, so you're free to like or dislike them as you see fit.

 

[sojourner]

Nooooo



They are better than lists, they are beyond such rubbishy categorising, they don't have a myspace page you know - that's a HMHB fact

 

[cliche guevara]

Shut up brat

I don't think there's any need for that.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Nooooo

Even the great G-d Peel apparently said HMHB were uncategorisable, so if it were good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

 

[killer b]

i could categorise them for you, but i'm a bit scared of sojourner.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

I think they're awesome...

You do realise that this statement, in and of itself, means we can now disregard any of your other opinions as standard? Sorry, i think that's your taxi outside

It's always sensible to be a little bit scared of soj, in my experience!

 

[rekil]

"comedy" punk covers

Getting wronger.

Moreover...

 

[rekil]

Surely Oasis go into the bad comedy band box.

 

[killer b]

list 2: all britpop (excluding pulp)

 

[cliche guevara]

According to the poll, the taxi is for you, my friend.

Poll shmoll....according to me, radiohead are a steaming big pile of poo and that fact trumps all, I keep telling you. People used to think that women shouldn't have the vote, for example, it was only an enlightened few who could see the proper way forward. Think of me as evangelical or something. Down with groan-rock, down with radiohead

I'm happy to think of you as evangelical. It's a word I'd normally associate with nutters.

 

[bluestreak]

It looks like things have gone to shit on this thread recently. Do we need some clarification as to what is acceptable, or is it time for a purge?

 

[May Kasahara]

Stamp the iron boot of authority down, bluey!

 

[killer b]

bring some order to our lives!

 

[bluestreak]

Please note that being allowed to have an opinion is NOT the same as having that opinion validated or accepted. It merely means that you're allowed to post.

 

[bluestreak]

List 1/
Half Man Half Biscuit (in fact, being able to quote at least four different HMHB tunes is a must)

List 2/
Phil Collins
Coldplay


-------------

Please note that if it doesn't fall into either category it means that we're either undecided as of yet, or we don't care. This opinion may change without prior consultation or discussion.

 

[bluestreak]

No point arguing about it, let's let the public decide.

A worthy attempt, however, one of the very important rules of the Music Forum is that popularity and quality are not the same thing.

right so, radiohead=list 2

pretty please with bells on

 

[bluestreak]

Comedy bands: This is a very fine line. For every Ivor Biggun there is a GWAR, for every Jack Black there is a Bill Bailey. Therefore the genre itself is clearly not pure fail. Therefore we leave it to the individual to justify. Remember, getting it wrong will result in your being laughed at deservedly.

 

[bluestreak]

Surely Oasis go into the bad comedy band box.

Oasis are list 2. I didn't think that even needed to be said. Anyone who doesn't think they should be there should get off this forum now, I've alerted the Stasi.

 

[Superdupastupor]

LIST 1: all american bands period 1979-1988 who were on indie-labels set up by other UG bands
(even the shit ones)

You see, I tried to say this, and he didn't get it

So I resorted to name-calling I'm afraid



And bluuueeeeyyy! No lists for HMHB! What do we want? NO LISTS! When do we want em? NOW!
