Easy one for me this. I know all about the musical talent in The Yardbirds but I never listen to them and find them boring. On the other hand I love Squeeze and play them regularly. 
 

I think too many bands are coasting through because of their ‘influence’ on other bands such as The Sex Pistols have. In the main, I’m just going with what I like to listen to the most.

I said from the start that I was going to be voting for my favourite bands or the

ones that I prefer. For example, I don’t mind Dire Straits but the Sex Pistols do nothing for me and I dislike Lydon’s vocals. Therefore, I voted for Dire Straits.

I listen to Yardbirds more and Jools Holland is a bad rinky dinky blert. 

So vote for them then? Jools Holland only played the keyboards so not really arsed about him. They were better when Paul Carrack replaced him like, just wish it was for longer.

Paul Carrack singing/playing any Squeeze tune would make them better. Surprised they beat The Police tbh. 

Also think the Bluesbreakers would be on par with the Yardbirds - and they didn't even make the dance.

 

So with heavy heart - Squeeze. But I don't think they are in the top 16 bands the UK has.

Black coffee in bed - 'There's a stain on my notebook where my coffee cup was'.......made a very early impression on me as regards descriptive writing when in primary school. takes me right back to the classroom that one.

 

everyone had the Squeeze singles LP so it seemed back then.

So who you listen to most between Squeeze and The Yardbirds is Dire Straits?

This is like Brexit now, I’m so entrenched in my views that going forward I think I’m just going to vote the opposite of whoever Mook and Bruce vote for even if I agree with them. 

Scum, sub human scum.
