Our young'un reckons Supertramp at the City Hall is the best concert he's ever been to. Takes all sorts.
I first saw Springsteen on Whistle Test during the 70s as well as fucktons of punk bands. Music in the 70s was different but far from shite. Sweet came on my iPod this morning as I was driving to work, cheered me right up.
Make ya smile even more. The Sweet song was Little Willy

Nice one mate, appropriate in more ways than one.
He was just born lucky I guess.
Bernie Rhodes knows: don't argue!
Pretentious
"World wide" I'm referring to the bands punk was suppose to have killed off, like, Pink Floyd, Zep, the Eagles, etc, they went on to achieve even more success after punk, the Kilburns, Stranglers, Eddie and the Hot rods, and many more that were cast under the punk umbrella were around before punk, like you say.
apart from the fashion side of it, punk was always just rock music to me.
Got ya. I would say Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin got bigger because of punk though. They just happen to be one of those bands that are massive regardless & always will be."World wide" I'm referring to the bands punk was suppose to have killed off, like, Pink Floyd, Zep, the Eagles, etc, they went on to achieve even more success after punk, the Kilburns, Stranglers, Eddie and the Hot rods, and many more that were cast under the punk umbrella were around before punk, like you say.
Strummer and the 101 ers, and many others I was lucky enough to watch every weekend under the name of pub rock, I wouldn't worry re-writing history mate, Paul Morley's already done that...
I didn't mean they got bigger because of punk, I was referring to the same old tired line that punk killed those bands off, it didn't, it had no real effect on their status, the Eagles were soaring at the very time Punk came through, like them or not, that's not the point I'm making, When ever I watch a punk documentary, up pops Morley with his tired old patter, telling everyone that punk wiped those bands of the face of the earth, the opposite is true, that's all I'm saying, IMO there's room for all types of music.Got ya.

Whilst the Eagles have the biggest selling album ever, I feel a bit awkward mentioning their name on a thread like this
It wasn’t me calling him average.
You above all people know what I mean - they would have been a far bigger greater band without Rhodes pulling the strings - the period without Rhodes was a mixed bag as well if you include self indulgent shite like Rude Boy and Sandinista - whoever thought those two milestones of their career were a good idea deserved to be tried for crimes against the music industryWell...apart from the two and a half years from Nov 78 to March 81 when he wasn't managing them.
Put your hand on your heart and tell yourself that neither Sandinista nor Rude Boy weren’t pretentious shite

You can see the reason for bringing him back - they’d completely lost their way in 1980
Do you honestly think that the S Word would have ever materialised if Rhodes or anyone else had been managing them properly - the six sides could have been condensed into a half decent album albeit with a few fillers - but instead they unleashed that self indulgent tripe onto an unsuspecting worldAgree with the latter part but you know my feelings on the "S" word.
