There. I said it. Paul Weller on The Cure, in this month's Record Collector magazine: "I can’t **** stand them. **** fat word removed, with his lipstick and all that bollocks. He’s a **** knob end. I don’t like him. There you go. There’s someone I would work with. I’d **** slap him". I have a newfound respect for Weller. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Paul the Plagiarist, he should let us all know when he has another original idea, the last one he had was in 1982 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more of Heaton's works than I do Shelly , so it would be hard for me to make an objective comparison of the two I should imagine, ultimately any poll would only come up with Lennon / McCartney anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted November 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2022 Bedshaped by Keane. The video too is horribly tragic. Keane are by no means a 'good' band but that song is so poignant and sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, as someone that generally likes his music. I now think he's a clearing in the woods. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 prior to the Joshua tree were pretty decent, then Bono grew a ponytail which is only one step above being a vegan in the things I can't and won't forgive list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that they did indeed go to complete and utter dogsh*t. Their early stuff is mixed, I think. The odd good song, but quite a bit I dislike, too.

The odd good song, but quite a bit I dislike, too. at the time i loved the JT , but I think it became a victim of being overplayed perhaps ... the "hits" now tend to be the ones that I skip whereas Bullet the blue sky , mothers of the disappeared stand up as the really strong tracks on it I saw them play the whole album live at Twickenham a couple of years back , brought back some great memories that even Bono preaching, and lecturing couldn't spoil Edited November 9, 2022 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
