I'm a pretty good player of both guitar and bass if I do say so myself, I can bash out a decent rhythm on the drums too. I think it's very easy to hear that "such and such" ( ahem Eric Clapton ) is one of the greats and as such adjust your awe levels to maximum in readiness before you hear him play. I know I did in the early 90s before actually forming opinions of my own. Hendrix justified the hype surrounding him and then some. EC never did to me from about 1992 onwards ( when I 'graduated' to learning songs from tablature on guitar mags, kids these days have it fucken easy compared to my day )<br><br>
I might say "shit that's easy to play" or "shit that's hard to play" if we were to discuss a guitar lead or whatever but it's all your opinion at the end of the day.<br><br>
I know that an AB or two has graced the fern but I think I'm safe to say the vast majority haven't marched out in the black jersey, a super rugby jersey or an NPC jersey. Doesn't stop people having their say on here.</p></blockquote>

So you're a club rugby guitarist MN5? -

<p>I listen to plenty, in amongst all the shite my kids claim to be music, is still some good stuff in my preferred genres</p>

I'm pretty sure 95% of our wives (or husbands - not judging) would call our time on TSF a PFE.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Who said it was of no interest. <br><br>
My comment was about the petty name calling over personal opinions on what will always be a subjective topic<br><br>
I have a pretty eclectic taste in music - over 2000 albums in my collection in various formats and in a previous life was paid to review concerts and output so although I can't play the guitar I can still have a passion for the subject<br><br>
Wouldn't talk in absolutes like some have though. Dick swinging is always pointless. -

<p>Mate, not sure that says much about today's music. Sounds straight out of the 80's.</p> -

As it turns out, I'm listening to Gorillaz (On Melancholy Hill) although admittedly I was listening to them more than 10 years ago, Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk, Queens of the Stone Age, LCD Soundsystem, Rudimental, Awolnation. Five Finger Death Punch, etc.

<p>Antipodean, you do realise most of those quoted bands were formed over ten years ago and some nearer twenty, don't you?</p>

The question was music released in the last decade. Not my fault I already liked a bunch of them . :biggrin:

Dire straights are the epitome of boring, middle of the road, soft , white, middle aged stadium rock. -

<p>Get Me is easily in my top 5 and most likely Number 1 which is a tough call. I never get sick of hearing it</p>

<p>Saw J Mascis play last year in Christchurch. </p>

<p>Only disapointment was it was an accoustic set. He's way better with a wall of noise behind him :)</p>
