1. The Who especially the rock opera crap. Saw them at the O2 and everyone went to the bar when Pete Townsend started playing that shit. 
2. Joy division - does anyone still actually listen to them ?
3. Manic Street Preachers - 6th form politics. 
4. Fleetwood Mac - saw them also at the 02, lots of drum solos
5. Van Morrison - 1 decent song and a lifetime of being a surly cunt. 

 

 

I hope I die before I become Pete Townshend – Kurt Cobain.

 

What's his name all about anyway? Sounds like John Motson is pronouncing it.

The Who is the first one I thought of, closely followed by Genesis, especially the earlier prog rock stuff.

You sir, can fuck right off, that's fucking blasphemy!

Hell of a shout.

The Clash were brilliant. Head of the queue in the anti racist movement too while promoting reggae into mainstream pop/rock/punk culture. They were more than a band.

[VladimirIlyich]

I forgot Pink Floyd. I really can't see why they are so revered,unless you like 7 minute guitar solos? I don't myself.

One I agree with, the Smiths can get in the sea too (mainly because of that cunt Morrissey (the consumer monkey)).

A good effort. Must try harder.

 

Try AC/DC instead of the Clash.

I saw him years ago in Manchester, on a double bill with Ray Charles. Jesus, he was shite. Every song was the same boring, noodling nothingness, with an obligatory bass solo, then a Georgie Fame organ solo, then a guitar solo, then a bit of a drum solo. The same fucking formula, repeated again and again and again.

Worst of all, I had to leave before Ray Charles (who was brilliant) finished, because that flaccid old snooze-button had wasted so much time.

They didn't appear at the first Rock Against Racism gig so to say they were 'ahead of the queue' is incorrect.

 

Also, the likes of Bob Marley had been charting regularly in the UK before they appeared so Reggae was doing ok on its own.

 

Personally I'm more interested in their music than their politics and that was fucking turgid.

If it wasn’t for your years of history of doing nothing except take the piss, you might have caught one or two fish with that.

Be that as it may. They could have been in charge of securing liaisons with Kylie for yours truly, but their music is still boring.

Obviously Bob Marley was playing reggae first,but my point was that integrating reggae into a culture that had attracted a strong racist element,mainly through skinheads,gave the movement a major boost and watered down the racist element who followed punk at the time. Just as significantly the Ska boom was running alongside so a popular multicultural anti racist movement had developed at a time when racism existed quite openly.

I think the Two Tone bands did most of this.

I reckon it was a combination. The Clash performed in the 1978 version and The Specials,for example didnt hit the charts with Gangsters until a year later in 1979.

Mumford & Sons - This is what happens when you give the keys to the castle to a bunch of blokes that look like they should be making artisan bread in a bakery in Devon.

I assume you are talking about the Police and Thieves cover here.

In hindsight their first single being White Riot might have muddied the waters but your point is taken.

I do think the integrated Two Tone bands had more to do - Strummer is always a political take.

I meant the 1978 Rock Against Racism concert,not a particular song.

Queen

The Doors

Elvis Costello

The Boomtown Rats

Coldplay

The National - These particularly piss me off because I'm always told I'd like them. The singer can't sing. He has this unbelievably irritating monotonous voice in every song. They're like an even more miserable version of Interpol - if that's even possible.
