Wordle 888 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Many Happy Returns to the Doctor, 60 years old today (or is 960, I get confused with all this Time stuff.) 2 more days to wait to see what RTD has come up with.

Wordle 887 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Had forgotten the word still existed.

Yes it sounds apocryphal to me. But, I am not sure it matters much. Both Hendrix and Gallagher's legacies have lived on with anyone who has listened to their music and then gone and picked up a guitar.

I'm voting for 1978

Yes, heard that as well. Not about whether he should be on the plane, but should he start alongside Stones. Of course They spoiled it by saying Southgate would pick Maguire instead!

I did not want to suggest that the Damned made less interesting or good music. And I won't post a video of Captain Sensible doing Happy Talk in riposte. We have all suffered enough! I was perhaps clumsy with my words. What I meant was bands knew that had to move on musically or die (as it had...

I love Desire (Although Blood on the Tacks for me is No 1). The narrative structure of many of the songs are definitely based upon traditional Scottish and Irish folk balladry e.g Isis, Black Diamond Bay etc, and of course Hurricane was his first "protest song" in over 10 years (unless you count...

I remember it on Top of the Pops, almost being the punk music they were allowed to play on BBC TV as it's lyrics weren't threatening the social order like some other records. But yes it is terrible, but actually think it's meant to be.

I think the thing is, the discussion about what is punk and what isn't has led people off on the tangents. To my way of thinking, there are actually not that many "punk records" in reality, as even those "punk bands" that started out morphed into something else after an album or two (see...

I saw them on the Back in Black tour at Wembley. It was bombastic and brilliant, but I think as you say the (very successful) parody element set in soon after.

👏👏👏👏

He started it, but was persuaded by Jimmy to go down the pub instead

I think AC|DCs first album in Australia (not officially released here I think) was punk(y), but by their second or third album had similarly morphed into heavy metal.

Yes, I wouldn't disagree with anything you said there. I seem to remember New Wave was quite an umbrella term for anything that wasn't prog rock or disco, but wasn't quite raw enough to be called punk. I don't actually recall post punk to be a term that was widely used at the time, but has since...

Wordle 885 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Happy enough, but afterwards wondered why it didn't play the answer on the second go

So, almost back to the start of the thread, my daughter who has now started to read up on these things, asked me what’s the difference between New Wave and punk or post punk? I said flippantly that punks wore ripped clothes or bondage trousers and new wave bands wore skinny ties. And Post punk...
