YOR vs The Bends vs The Stone Roses vs Aeroplane Over The Sea

[This charming man.]

I meant every word, chummy boy. Keep this up and you won't last another day.

Had a bad xmas, Peter.

Surely they're more interesting than The Beatles? Brown is a bit of a prick but I like John Squire.

Squire is exemplary. One of the greatest guitarists ever....

YOR is painful to listen to. It's a good album to clear guests from my abode.

I watched Ian Brown in Manchester on the 19th of Dec, when he sang " I want to be adored" & "Fool's Gold " the atmosphere was electric

Never seen him play Fools Gold on his solo tours. How did it go down?

Good top 6 there, Phil, but I'd have Joy Division somewhere in there.

How old are you, Kyle?

John Squire knows. He can play Byrdsian stuff, psychedelia, Page-esque blues riffs, a pale imitation of Hendrix - or even pass himself off as a noodling Eric Clapton clone.

I want Morrissey to sign him up from Cheshire Athletic on a free transfer.

Northside better than The Chameleons? I think you've been overdoing the liquors, Phill.

 

[bailiffwithbadbreath]

The Smiths and The Roses are the only great Manchester bands.

I quite liked the Mondays, New Order, The Charlatans and Joy Division though.

Its the thread on general discussion, Its for wonderful pictures of Morrissey.
(as Morrissey's very handsome, I think it's a word for that)

Ian brown's singing I want to be adored and Fool's Gold brought the house down, as for John Squire, I admire how he's turn his back on music to work as an artist (I believe he was an artist originally, if my memory serves me well, he helped to draw Dangermouse ) It's also agreat loss as he wrote some brilliant music.

Didn't Lou Reed give it up to and become a secretary? maybe John wanted a normal life (good for him)

 

[lainey]

1. The Smiths (by a huge margin)
2. Oasis (sentimental reasons)
3. The Stone Roses
4. The Charlatans (nearly joint 3nd)
5. Happy Mondays (a big gap away from the top 4)

Are none of you saying Take That? I hate New Order!

I'm 21, why? how old are you?

I've always imagined Squire would be a good foil for Morrissey. Both are quite unusual, artistic types from Manchester. Both take sleeve art very seriously. Both played in seminal bands before falling out with their song-writing partners. The only problem would be a collision of enormous egos. Having said that, most 'great' pop writers and performers have big ones. So that problem is unavoidable, really.

I saw Black Grape two or three times live and they were very good in 1995ish. Their music hasn't aged very well though. Oddly, it sounds less cutting edge than the Mondays.

Probably about to start patronising you, as is the norm on here.

Do you know what patronising means? Well you're not alone. Let me explain it to you...

Look just stop being a 'prick', will you?
