Oi dont bring Rugby into this big nose.

what the frig is 'proper' music. Sounds like when Rugger buggers talk about 'proper' sport.

Music made by people with instruments, voices and amplifiers, performed live. Not dubbed/mimed or, worst of all, shouting

what's your definition of an instrument? why is amplified ok? why don't ac/dc get their hair cut? etc etc

can't be arsed now, was in the mood for this earlier, but seriously, if you want to hear some good music, turn of a televised music 'awards' show for god's sake

To bring some relief to the old gits like me, some PROPER music, no dubs, coats, sunglasses, bitches, hoes, art school twats or James f***ing Corden, just the greatest rock band ever

I got bored with AC/DC very soon after their first Donnington in 1981.

However, it did mildly amuse me watching your Jimmy Hill avatar miming along to Brian Johnson.

For about 30 seconds anyway...

There is some music around these days that I like, but what was that noise that won the "best single of the year" award. Tiny Tinchy or something? Goodness me.

If anyone hasn't already read it, I can heartily recommend Jon Savage's 'England's dreaming', which chronicles the birth of punk around 1975 and its short life, with stunning attention to detail

I know it's a bit cliched to slate current music, but the majority of it just seems to be crap, and regurgitated crap at that

Roll on 1977

This sounds a good recomendation, the only book of that era I have read and enjoyed was 'Human Punk' which describes the main charectors going to a Ruts gig.

After moaning about it, I left the room and listened to the football and then the piranhas who have had a big revival with me since seeing them again last week.

Although it sounded all rap from the other room my wife said that the Plan B show was fantastic including a full scale riot on stage and a policeman on fire, sounded very Banksy..whens the repeat.

I'm only 27 and I find the Brit Awards utter bollocks, with music that wouldn't get anywhere near my CD collection. I used to watch it most years back in the good old days when Jarvis Cocker came on stage making comedy jestures during Michael Jackson's peformance of Earth Song. I can quite happily listen to most commercial music from the 80s, 90s and early 00s without it offending my ears but most stuff in the last few years I have to turn off. That's not to say there isn't some great music around at the moment, it just doesn't fit in to the "play every 20 minutes on Heart FM" category which is what the Brit Awards seems to focus on.

Can't find anything about it in my Melody Maker

 

[The Large One]

Spell of National Service and a decent haircut would do that lot no harm...

etc.
