I think they’re colossally overrated in general

I get the sentiment, but it has to be put into perspective.

Will Lomu be massively over-rated if we start churning out bigger, faster, more powerful and skillful wingers? The Stones (& Beatles who I know you have no time for) have to be considered for their legacy. The way they changed music. Sure, a lot of their classics are pretty moderate now but without them a lot of the music that came later that you do admire simply wouldn't exist.

Not arguing that, I just don’t see it but I take the point that loads of groups I love were influenced by them.

….but I just think groups that came ever so slightly after them ( Zep, Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Doors to name a few ) were infinitely better.

They didn't win the Mercury Prize last night but had the performance of the night IMHO

Comedy gold.

Best comment is someone saying Yokos voice was the blueprint for the dial up modem

Chuck Berrys facials are outstanding too

Great song, and Tom Scott and his band backing her up:

I saw that for the first time recently.

Weird but compelling 70s flick

@MN5 why would he play down to that level?

I think ( directly quoting one of the comments ) that when John Lennon got to jam with his hero Chuck Berry it was on the condition that his talentless, narcissistic wife got to join in too.

Love really is blind…..and clearly really deaf too.

Chucks facials are brilliant aren’t they ?

[broughie]

@MN5 I know. It was classic. Maybe Lennon himself was narcissistic or a pussy, probably the later, in expecting his child hero to have to listen to that indescribable noise.

I am so old:

Felt like listening to some classic soft rock so put on REO Speedwagon radio on Spotify. Came up with this little pearler:

[dogmeat]

@broughie Lennon was definitely narcissistic. Bed in for Peace anyone?

For all the stereotyping of Lennon as the rocker with a social conscience and McArtney as the pappy popster, Lennon produced the most self-indulgent 'art' plus some of the twee-ist bs pop shit ever - Imagine, Happy Christmas etc

@Tim Going to the When the Cats Away tribute to Margaret Urlich in a fortnight. Hope / expect to see O'Neill guest.

It was cool to see one of their songs from the previous album appear on Justified: City Primeval. This is from the most recent album. The video has a Tarantino vibe.

[MN5]

They’ve still got it at an age where lots of bands become pisstakes of themselves…..

This is good shit
