Their first album is a masterpiece of whimsical English psychedelia.
The singles compilation 'Relics' is perhaps even better.

Everything else is somewhere between mediocre, tedious, pompous wankery and Fucking Shit.

I'll be honest, Monty
To me it all sounds like pretentious guitar masturbation. They might as well be Dire Straits.

Another dismal, dismal outfit.

What are your thoughts on Jethro Tull?
They're the first live act I ever saw, aged 9.

I like 'This Was' a lot - it's a great British blues rock LP.
Stand Up's OK too but they have churned out some shit in their time.

I was brought up on their 70s and 80s stuff
My Dad loves old blues rock stuff.

The worst fiends for pretentious guitar masturbation are Dream Theater.

Surely that award goes to the fret-wankers in Dragonforce?

Dragonforce lose all pretence by not taking themselves seriously in the slightest
If they were serious, I'd agree with you 100%
