Hi motomad, amongst other things I'm a part-time sheep farmer, but I've never felt the urge to kiss one of mine yet, maybe I've not been in a romantic enough mood, or I've just been waiting for the right one to come along.

Hi Les,

For me it has to be cheese and chopped fresh tomato, (no fu**ing marmite)

Marmite tastes like a dog's arse (No empirical evidence, just a hunch)

My first memories of Pink Floyd were 'Arnold Layne' , 'Bike' and 'See Emily Play', all very Syd Barret in style and they remain favorites to this day.

I first heard 'One of these days' in a German disco when I was about 15 years old, knocked me out, asked the DJ what it was, which album et cetera, and bought 'Meddle' two days later. Probably one of my favorite Floyd albums.

I agree, some of the early stuff can be taxing on the brain, but you have to understand it in context, 'Acid induced craziness in the wild 60's' (that's not a critiscism)

'Dark side of the Moon', still a classic, also 'Wish You Were Here'

Didn't get on with 'Animals' so much though.

cheers

Will, you've got see the difference between an open debate and throwing insults at people.

By the way, If nobody likes you, why did I invite you as a friend on Bebo?

I'll leave it there, Enough said.

Well now, this can cause controversy.

Most would agree that the Ramones were there at the beginning, they formed in New York in 1974.
They played very fast, very short songs without guitar solos and used a lot of distortion.

Most would also say that Iggy Pop & the Stooges, were if not a punk band as such, were a big influence on the bands that followed, see also the New York Dolls, Velvet Underground.

In the UK, the Sex Pistols formed in 1975, different style to the Ramones but very noisy, anti-establishment types.

Many bands followed, chief amongst them , the Damned, the Stranglers, UK Subs, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Stiff Little Fingers (from Northern Ireland), The Undertones (also from Ulster), and many, many more.

The ethic was, very much do it yourself, small independent record labels, minimal marketing, in some cases not too much in way of technical skill, and above all ant-establishment.

Oh and I've just found this

James Heroin and the Vets, existed in Yorkshire back in late 70's.

Did a charming song entitled "Blue Babies (lack of Oxygen)"

You're going to think I'm an absolute nutter now ...

When I was a kid, I used think of tunes being played by a very loud miltary type band, with a large brass section, they always stuck in my head that way.

Don't know why, I'm pretty much what you would call a pacifist, so the army has no particular interest for me.

I'm an Atheist, but don't let put you off me.

As I've said in posts all over the place, I think everyone has the right to believe in any thing they want, so I would never dismiss anyone beacuse they don't agree with me. (however see my blog on bebo for what I think about foxhunting)

After all, I'm frequently wrong about all sorts of things.

cheers
