Chas and Dave have split up.

I proper love them I do.
I've been to see them lots, I've met Dave three times (and have had my photo taken, with his MASSIVE hand around me.)

Don't start going on about crap old Snooker Loopy. They are brilliant musicians and There Ain't No Pleasing You is one of the best lovesongs ever.

What bands do you adore that other people laugh at?

Love The It Girl album.... Factor 41 is a great song.

Cliff Richard.
I know not technically a band, but every fucker laughs at me for liking him. Sometimes I like him a bit too much. My mum bought tickets to see him soon, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she cant go, and gave the tickets to her mate.

Bitch!

*laughs*
Actually his first single 'Move It' is a pretty decent rock'n'roll number.

How anyone could not want to kill him after the 'Wimbledon singalong incident' is quite, quite beyond me, though...

*BONUS CHAS & DAVE FACT*
They opened for none other than Led Zeppelin at Knebworth in 1979.


How's about THAT then?

*BONUS CHAS & DAVE FACT #2*
It's Chas & Dave playing on the Labi Siffre tune that is the main hook in Eminem's 'My Name Is'.

Ooh!
I knew about I Got The, but I didn't know about Led Zep...

None
No one's heard of half of 'em.

My guilty pleasures-style enjoyment of 80s Van Halen and ZZ Top has raised a few eyebrows in its time, I suppose.

FWIW I like Chas & Dave too.

People used to laugh at me for liking
Sum 41, I still do like them and I don't care. I used to get a bit of stick for liking Silverchair too, meh. I listen to what I damn well please! :D

you choose to listen to DiT
making sex noises. Quite frankly your taste in music goes along similar lines.

Silverchair are (were) good
and while I fear the wrath of Al for this: the first album is awesome, the second is pretty good, the third alright and Diorama is one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever had the misfortune to hear.

my older brother really likes Sum 41. He has almost zero taste in music.

You are so far beyond wrong
you would be in danger of catching up with right again from the opposite direction except you managed to make a wrong turn and ended up smack bang in the middle of wrong again.

I agree with Sum 41
but I hate silverchair, it's shit Nirvana.

you're an idiot
both of those statements prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt

I thought that might upset you

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 22 Sep 2009, 18:02, Reply)

I don't think she would get upset
over comments made by somewhere as wrong as you.

Yeah, that's right, I said it.

I quite like Sum 41.

I'm going to regret this
Ok, I always have Paul McCartney on the car auto changer and James Blunt too.

In My defence (I hope) There is always REM, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young too, but it's Macca I sing my guts out to on the way home.

Sorry, I know it's wrong, but I just can't help myself.

To be fair
I wouldn't say no to Miley Cyrus.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 22 Sep 2009, 18:10, Reply)

to be fair
she'd probably say no to you
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 22 Sep 2009, 18:13, Reply)

to be fair
I wouldn't give her the opportunity. I'd be shouting SURPRISE and holding a chloroformed rag tightly over her face.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 22 Sep 2009, 18:14, Reply)

at least you're saying surprise
otherwise it wouldn't be fair

Elliot Minor
Who, it turns out, are a boy band.

But I maintain that they're very good.

I actually like the new Chris Cornell album
I'll admit that at first I thought that it was a pile of crap but that shit grows on you after a few listens.

It would have been wrong of me not to give it a chance.

Anyone else heard it?
