-JohnMe too, save the bit about bunting.

Cross-threading a Lunch Report - I have not witnessed such a tactic since I starting tuning into the LR back in '99.

Couldn't deal with Japanese bunting practices, eh? ;)

Being as our lunch passed by many hors ago, I'm going to tell you what I had for Tea, which is like a Working Class Dinner.

Scrambled eggs on toast
Fruit Salad
Cup of Tea


Most people, at least most of my music friends, back in the 60's thought The Beatles were crap, You could compare them to the likes of Miss Spears or The Spice Girls, utter rubbish. Marvellous what 40 years does.

Seafood sticks and mayo on brown Hovis today, miracle friendly bacteria yoghurt drink again, banana again and a 'Double Decker'. Again ... all gone by 10:00 GMT(5:00 EST)


Shame the other thread is kind of off bounds (I presume) ..it looked like fun....

Lucky you're not within shooting distance - I'd get Big Mike to plug you for that one.

Anyway, did Miss Spears (didn't she get married?) or the Spice Girls ever have a hit record? It's not like the Beatles didn't have some sort of demonstrable talent - unlike the people you named.

And just because you made close friends with some orangutans and chimpanzees in the 60's (didn't we all) doesn't exactly make your friends' opinions a valid measuring stick. I'm betting there were primates in Wales and England who LIKED the fab four in the 60's.

-JohnThere were, of course thousands of primates, and Welsh people ;) , who liked them back then. I'm just saying, that amongst the musician fraternity I was a member of, they were considered to be a 'pop' group, along the lines of the boy band, FF, Mrs or Ms Spears lot. Yes they had talent, it was just not to our taste back then. As I have got older, I have bought some of their albums and often listened, for the first time, to some of their music.

Pork pie, salad, pickled egg and some mustard.

Funny that, as we look back we begin to realise what we missed out on.

The Beatles were always "up there" for me, even as a young metalhead in the 80's I respected them and lstened to their records (hey, early Deep Purple wasn't that far away from the Fab Four, "Hush" anyone?).

But likewise, as a metalhead I hated most of the stuff that was out, in the charts, and popular with the short haired, white socked brigade in my school.

Nowadays, when I hear "golden hours" from that era, I am really beginning to appreciate The Jam, Madness, Specials, Soft Cell - dammit, even Human League and Duran Duran!!

Though somehow, I doubt very much that I will be looking back at Nsinc, The Spice Girls and Westlife with fondness in years to come.

I agree David - I was one of those too:o ..white sox etc! I always loved the Beatles and they never have and never will go out of style for me. I quite liked the Jam and yes, I'd have to admit to liking the odd nutty boyz song. I am a bit conscious that 'has it got to be retro' for me? ... a lot of the music I like is ..but not all of it. Another classic example is the Police - quite liked their stuff at the time but wasn't a real fan at that time ..now they're great. I'm really into the Stray Cats too - I couldn't hear all those great riffs and runs back then - probably for fear of them not being 'in' at the time ..but now I'm really into their music.


I'm not sure who will be tomorrows classic bands, but none of the ones you mentioned lastly - I agree.

+1. The Police, the Clash, Dire Straits in their original lineup, The Stray Cats (honorary Brits) first 2 albums, the Kinks, Beatles, Stones, Robin Trower, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, James Taylor (another honorary Brit), the Jam, Stone Roses, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Joni Mitchell (Canadian - practically a Brit ;)), Neil Young (same as Joni), Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin, the Who,etc...

And we have not even tapped into the U.S. yet (Jimi's an honourary Brit too :D).

We were spoiled rotten:dude:

[David Coverversion]

Now then, I loved The Clash then and I love them even more now. I just replennished my copy of London Calling (the old vinyl version disappeared years ago) I'd forgotten what a fine album that really is!

[irwcustom]

I'm sure I'd like some of that Clash stuff ..but seem to have avoided it. Going to see a Squeeze tribute band soon that a colleague is in - another example of retro for me. I was slow on the uptake of the Straits too. For years I thought the Stray Cats were British:o ..they did so well over here - I never had reason to think otherwise.


Is it lunch time yet? ..'cmon Peter - were starvin! ..Me belly button's touching me backbone!

[Peter]

Maybe for Friday we should just continue the Clash discussion. That would suit me fine.
No, I'll think of something else.

[Sherpa]

They made it thanks to the London clubs and fans. I saw Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats in small clubs in NYC - they were banging their heads against the wall and getting bloodied for their efforts.

Once they broke into the British scene, they returned to the States and got the recognition they deserved.

So they should be British ;)

I am a late-arriver to the Squeeze scene but avid nonetheless. I think Glen Tilbrook is brilliant.

[David Coverversion]

That's another one - Squeeze!

Hated them at the start, now that's the most played disc in my car!

Stunning songwriting
