No longer have any passion for it I'm afraid.

Your welcome to your opinion I was merely voicing mine, and in my eyes putting them alongside the Beatles or Pink Floyd is a joke, I'm not telling you not to say it am I? I am allowed to disagree and that's what I did.
Well perhaps if you feel I am welcome to my opinion, and don't like it when people react strongly to your posts, you shouldn't rubbish their views. It's music, nobody likes exactly the same thing. Quite happy to admit I don't like having my views trashed.

I have never been to a basketball match in my life. Used to watch it on TV, but unless the scores were close it just seemed pointless - I never saw a team claw back 10 points or more.

No, it's not a joke, I happen to have a different opinion than you. If I want to compare any aspect of any band to any other, that's my prerogative.
I actually agree with LH on this one. For me Public Enemy are the greatest band of all time, better than the Beatles, Pink Floyd etc.
People will no doubt mock my stance, but who is someone else to say what music is to me?

why don't you just say your favourite band is public enemy rather than make a complete tit of yourself by coming out with an idiotic statement like that .Natasha Whittam wrote:largehat wrote:

Natasha, Public Enemy were the first live band I ever saw. Supported by the Beastie Boys on the Def Jam tour. They are in fact amongst the best bands I've ever seen.
And I'll put "It takes A Nation Of Millions" up against any album you want and prove why it's better.
Except maybe "Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury" by The Disposable Heroes Of Hypocrisy.

Re: Pop music all time low? Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:45 amI will never read a more stupid post than this. A hip hop band are light years ahead of the Beatles. I figured you for a fairly intelligent poster , I will never again take any of your posts seriously. The Beatles have sold over a billion records, they will last forever like Beethoven and Mozart,they are the reason that tommy steel, cliff Richard and the shadows and the like did not continue to flourish. I had a neighbour called russ Conway once he told me he was set to make a fortune then the Beatles came and changed the face of music. They developed like no other group ever they set the benchmark for every one else. To say a hip hop group is light years ahead of them is stupidity beyond belief. I suggest you google the Beatles see where they stand then google public enemy.Natasha Whittam wrote:Angry Dad wrote:why don't you just say your favourite band is public enemy rather than make a complete tit of yourself by coming out with an idiotic statement like that .
Idiotic? I wasn't rubbishing Pink Floyd or The Beatles, both great bands, but for me Public Enemy made better music and were lyrically lightyears ahead of everyone else.

Sun Jun 24, 2012 3:26 pmI don't give a monkeys wether its not cool to like Coldplay LH they are the dogs right now I love em. Talk about different taste I find the early albums dreary and my favs are viva and mylo by miles . My top 5 ever bands are 1. Beatles. 2.Genesis .3 Bee gees.4 Rolling Stones.5.Simon & Garfunkel.--- with Coldplay to keep me happy in the present but I don't see anything else for me when they go.largehat wrote:Angry Dad wrote: I have one band out of the following who I love the rest I like . As a Beatles fanatic I doubt you will guess the one band that kept me interested in music. They are genesis-pink floyd-Peter Gabriel-Kate bush- all great but one was key in bringing me out of my Beatles depression.
I would instinctively guess at the Floyd because of their skill and experimentation, but different strokes and all that...
I get the distinction you made earlier in your post, I do think there is a lot to be said for 70s popular music though. I don't want to get into a mindset where I think that unless I see a drum kit and a couple of guitars in a band they are not very good. I saw Kool and the Gang on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury last year and it was brilliant fun. Bopping away to 'Get Down On It' and 'That's The Way I Like It', they did a 15 minute version of 'Jungle Boogie'. 70s 'pop' acts like that rightly have a prominent place in history. It;s not musical genius on the level of Lennon or Waters or anyone like that, but there are very few pop songs today like that.
It's not fashionable to like Coldplay but they are immense live. Their first three albums, Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head and X&Y were superb. The two most recent albums, Viva La Vida and Mylo Xyloto don't have the same edge.
You should give Muse a go, particularly 'Absolution' from 2004. I saw them perform most of that album, in the set I have posted below, and they have that epic, otherworldly feel that the Floyd had at their best, and they rock. Watching that performance up on the hill, it almost brought me to tears to be honest. I think they are the only modern band that have the progressive genius of The Beatles or Floyd.
Oh and a little amateur footage from Jungle Boogie
