"Its pants. I was 15 when I rebelled against the influx of new romantics and boy bands like wham. I started listening to punk mostly and reggae. The Clash were my favourite band in my youth, closely followed by stiff little fingers and the stranglers. I like it more now for its artistic merit but I was blinded then by poncey looking fellas playing guitars and drums." I hated new romantic crap | |||

"So many covers of 70's and 80's music these days. Shows a lack of imagination and originality " Its the same with movies - the concepts of talent, inspiration and creativity are slowly dying in the entertainment industry. | |||

"Livin' In Box, an amazingly talented trio who's musical tenure was criminally short lived. Also, Phil Collins, one of the most hated men in music, though this is due to his detractors wishing they had an ounce of his talent." | |||

I was lucky enough to follow and see the Clash, Stranglers, slf, blondie, tubes etc first time round in the 70's, it was a fantastic time and rolled nicely into the early 80's, fantastic time for music and then all music died in the 90's | |||
