This 'shit Status Quo' thing must be a pisstake. This is not a shit Status Quo...

 

 

It was, I was taking the piss. I was just throwing shit hoping to generate an anti-AC/DC sentiment in a bid for Kraftwerk votes. I have nothing against AC/DC (apart from Thunderstruck which I think is the second worst heavy rock song after Enter Sandman). 

 

However I am over the Moon Kraftwerk won. I've been happy with all the winners. Bowie, Stones, Doors, Kate. 

 

I do think Springsteen should be given an honorary award for just being Springsteen though.

Just 1 vote in it according to my

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Happy with that. It would have been a fucking travesty if someone as thoroughly ordinary as AC/DC were to be voted the greatest anything.

Some grim opinions early on in this thread, especially the people sniggering at the concept of actually listening to Kraftwerk.

My piss-taking of Kraftwerk was geared towards support of AC/DC. I don't mind Kraftwerk. I certainly wouldn't have had them ahead of a few bands in this tournament personally but I can see why they won.

Hahahahahahaha Fucking Kraftwork won? Fucking Kraftwork?  The best "Rest of the World" band ever is fucking Kraftwork???

 

None of you are ever allowed speak about music on this forum ever again.   Delete this thread and lets never speak of it again.

It's Kraftwerk, mate. 

[John102]

The GF has long since demonstrated its complete lack of all musical taste. That ship sailed long ago.

 

Its just a shame for AC/DC that Kraftwerk were also white and not black men from Detroit.

I read that out loud and it sounded like a bad attempt at a Liverpool accent.

I genuinely can't relate to it. Like being into Hot Chip in the year 2050...

 

The rest was obviously piss-taking bluster. Don't have many strong feelings about them, but whenever I listen to it I hear nothing special whatsoever.

Up to you, mate. I love them, personally.  I wasn't old enough to appreciate them in their prime, so in that sense, to me they've not dated at all.

 

There are loads of 80's records that still sound boss now, despite them being slightly hamstrung by the 80's production sound.

 

I wasn't around for The Beatles either but that doesn't stop me thinking they sound ace in 2021. I'm sure Elvis fans would say the same about him.  Good music should be timeless.

Exactly.

 

It's all just opinions, people can like what they want. I still love loads of the early 00s music that would be roundly mocked on here.

Just going by my avatar, check out Caution by Hot Water Music, or How I Spent My Summer Vacation by The Bouncing Souls.

 

Otherwise it's pretty much a story of pop-punk and third wave ska.

I don't know any of these in all honesty. I'm disappointed it isn't Girls Aloud, in all honesty. 

 

Although i still maintain that Call the Shots is one of the finest pop songs ever written.

Used to play Love Machine on guitar all the time while I was at uni, if it makes you feel any better.

I have no shame when it comes to Kraftwerk but there are other bands/artists that are dark dirty secrets. Didn't someone start a music shaming amnesty thread a while back?

 

The two bands you mentioned - hadn't come across them but liked the two tracks. Funny how taste works.

Travesty that Hanson didn’t win this to be honest.

Left them out, would have been a Beatles scenario.
