  1. If they were still going, we might have been spared the later Foo Fighters albums though.
  2. Made their name as a live band in Germany though and the energy and playing in their early shows was brilliant. When they were exhausted in Shea Stadium, they were shite but at that point, they couldn't hear themselves because of the screaming, the lasses couldn't hear them because of their own screaming so they didn't give too shits. Expanding on Harrison, the reason he's so good (and Starr) is because The Beatles leapfrogged through a load of styles in 8 years and he kept up and perfected his playing in all of them. No widdly-widdly guitarist can compete.
  3. Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers, Rubber Soul and Revolver are all clearly structured as albums. The way Abbey Road is sequenced is a master class. Like shite, Harrison's playing was different class. Think of the defining Beatles riffs, lines and solos then think of Deep Purple's. Once he lost the shackles of attempting to be like Carl Perkins, he turned into an amazing guitarist. His slide stuff was immense too. I'm honestly struggling to think of a Deep Purple with a guitar part as good as one of Harrison's. Child in Time, maybe? Also has Day In The Life, Sgt. Peppers, She's Leaving Home, Lovely Rita, Fixing a Hole and would have had Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields if not released as singles. Every "classic" album has one ropey song. Blonde on Blonde has 'Rainy Day Woman', Ziggy Stardust has "It Ain't Easy" etc. This debate comes up on here all the time and I honestly don't understand how people can call them shite like. Mostly invovles people going "well, they weren't that innovative" fucking Ticket To Ride was released in 1964! Nothing like that had even been thought of in 1964, man. They were throwing out brilliant songs in 15 minutes ffs. Denying their talent is like somebody coming on here and saying the Brazil 1970 team were actually a bit shit and it's only cool to say they were good. As for taking the piss out of Starr, it should be a capital offence and is largely done by people who haven't the first clue what they're on about.
  4. Aye, first team. Crowd will be full of pissed up bairns, mind.
  5. The Bends is class if you've not heard that. Took me a while to like Lodger by Bowie actually. I remember hating the Arcade Fire's latest album for a while but it's clicked with me eventually.
  6. Cream's albums are fucking SHOCKING, man. Disreali Gears isn't even the best psychedelic album released in November 1967. Magical Mystery Tour, Forever Changes and After Bathing at Baxter's all do it in. And it's not even the best psychedelic album released that year by a British 3-piece because Axis: Bold as Love was out a week later and it had better musicianship and songwriting on it. I honestly thought Cream was a joke I didn't get. As for Pink Floyd, I will never be deterred. Boring as sin
  7. Elvis is absolutely class. Get the Complete 50s Masters, almost every track is brilliant. As for this, The Doors have 2 good songs, Cream have 2 good songs and neither of them produced anything good enough to justify their place in history. Jim Morrison done himself in so we could hear that shitty 'the End' everywhere, cheers for that, Jim. That doesn't excuse Light my Fire. As for Cream. Brilliant if you love Ginger Baker spraying his ginger jizz all over you. Stick to White Room and Sunshine of your Love, lads. Clapton was better in the Bluesbreakers anyway. Pink Floyd. The very worst of rock music in one neat package. Except for The Early Singles compilation with Barrett I still haven't got into The Smiths because I'm afraid any songwriting and guitar work will just get drowned out by the image of Morrissey bouncing through my mind.
  8. Took a while for OK Computer to click with me but now it has, it's essential listening. Simon and Garfunkel were a band I always appreciated for their talent and songwriting but never loved them until about 3 weeks ago where it fell into place.
  9. check your PMs. just put a whole lot of myself out there
  10. Had a solid game against Swansea at home, I remember. Probably because they only managed to get in our box twice.
  11. I think Perch is canny in that role. It's generally quite low responsibility and he can pressure well, has a decent enough tackle and keeps it simple in possession. I think we'll see Bigi or Abeid in there though since I think he sees Gosling and Amalfitano as playing in Cabaye's role. Central midfield is definitely our place with most strength in depth though, even without Guthrie.
  12. What if you thought you spotted a plane but it was really Superman?
  13. Don't think it got as far as that, just some "quotes" posted on their timeline. Glad Clarke Carlisle likes to search his own name or we'd have never got this fallout.
  14. Arse feta and cress sandwiches = the future of healthy cuisine in schools.
  15. Would have loved to have seen the clip of the lad from NUFCFans standing next to him like. In my head, I see Terry Fuckwit.
  16. I do what CT does with bread every now and then. I don't butter it though, you minging sod
