Sticky: On This Forum You Must Have These Opinions.

[Paulie Tandoori]

[killer b]

sure! speak to bluestreak, he keeps all the trophies.

Not since he claimed he was working class. Check the OP.

I know it's already covered by the generic indie option, but could we have a special mention for the Stereophonics on list 2 please?

Also, where do we cut off the works of the Manic Street Preachers? Many people would agree that some albums would be in list 1, some in list 2, but what's the cut-off point? I'd say anything up to Everything Must Go, but some would draw the turned-shit line earlier. I await clarification from the bluestreak.

manics: category 2 (entire career)

What about 90's american punk, that it became uncool to like, and it is now becoming cool to like again? See: NOFX, The Bloodhound Gang.

I don't think it was ever cool to like the Bloodhound Gang.

Harsh.

 

[May Kasahara]

But fair.

 

[Gromit]

Wot no Bluegrass / Soundtrack to Brother where art thou ?!

It was cool when you were fourteen and they said "tits" a lot. Then when you got to eighteen, you grew up a bit and realised that they were actually shit and had no real points to make. Then you grew up a bit more, and realised that actually, fart jokes had always been hilarious. They'll be permanently cool in my mind since that song where the lyrics were entirely Ralph Wiggum quotes.

I hate punk, folk and reggae but love Detroit Techno, Eighties Metal, Hip-Hop and showtunes; am I going to be banned?

 

[dodgepot]

you're a fucking newbie anyway - as if we'd pay any attention to an objection from you...

".!."

mutha-fucka

Some of "everything must go" was okay, but if you use the general rule of thumb that post Richie = bad, you should be okay.

 

[dodgepot]

i think that'll fall under "folk", or maybe even gospel/blues before 1975. so list 1.

 

[killer b]

"everything must go" was awful, but if you use the general rule of thumb that post band forming = bad, you should be okay.

i fixed that for you.

even I knew the answer to that one.

 

[foo]

where would gene pitney go?

do we like him?

 

[cliche guevara]

Damn my inferior post count, I'll be back tomorrow with POWER.

 

[dodgepot]

list 1 i reckon.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Tulsa probably. You are allowed to like him but I can't see why myself.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Can you really add to canon with only 2000 posts? Very well. Bruckner in. Mahler out.

 

[cliche guevara]

If KISS aren't on list 1 then i'd better leave...

 

[dodgepot]

goodbye <waves>

 

[clandestino]

sure! speak to bluestreak, he keeps all the trophies.

He has been discontinued.

 

[Gromit]

What list are Atomic Suplex and other offline bands in even if such bands play list 2 music?

 

[sojourner]

Yeah always was a bit of an albatross and a bandwagon for shithead artists to jump on. I used to write for No Depression and we'd always use the expression "alt.country (whatever that is)" which kind of took the piss out of the supposed scene.

NWA is a much finer term.

to every line

 

[Socket]

As someone with a way below parr post count I obviously wouldn't dream of requesting clarification or making a suggestion but, if I were 2k+, I would have to query whether Girls Aloud's later work can really be deemed acceptable. This is, of course, hypothetical: I've 1922 posts to go.

 

[killer b]

eh? other than a few covers and some of their ballads, they've been consistently excellent.

dodgepot claims their latest album is the best yet, and he wouldn't make such a claim lightly...

 

[gabi]

What would the official line on something like johnny cash's beautiful cover of U2's One?

Where does that fit in.

 

[colacubes]

*raises hand*

I know I'm not up to 2000 posts yet but can I respectfully suggest that all Enya, chill-out bands/compilations and any other hippy pan-pipe related shit be added to list 2?

Thank you please
