If you’d seen Weller live you would not put him in the W bracket

amazing 

 

 

 

Why would you assume i’ve not seen him? I saw him when he was at his finest  - fronting The Jam at King Georges Hall Blackburn in June 1980 when the band were at their peak. Without doubt a brilliant live band & Weller wrote most of The Jams best songs - he was/is a great artist. Still a bit of a bell though.

Most people in the UK tend to have some kind of problem with someone who is successful in their profession.

The reason is almost always jealousy.

No issue with anyone’s success, but if you’re a successful cunt you’re still a cunt

3 artists who's music i admire - Paul Weller, the late Joe Strummer and Billy Bragg.

All socialists, which automatically slots them into the wanker bracket in my book.

The flip side to that is, most right wing artists are total Grade 'A' wankers.

Basically,most artists are just wankers. 

Spot on about Weller. A right cunt in real life.

A lot less talented but also a cunt is that gooner bastard Buster Bloodvessel.

very few rock/metal bands have ever come close to an album like AfD in terms of pushing forward the genre AND genuinely crossing over into the mainstream.

Metallica with the Black Album (although MoP or RtL were the ones that really changed the scene), Nirvana with Nevermind, (don't mock) by Def Leppard with Hysteria.... that mix of huge popularity and heavier music isn't an easy thing to do.

Haven’t heard Def Leppard but yeah I’d agree with you about AFD

Their finest moment was Photograph, Lets Get Rocked was a joke song, released at the time Nirvana were changing the rules, which shows just how difficult it'd get for bands like this.

I was 14, i also liked ugly kid joe, rocked clearly meant fucked and it was the best video since money for nothing

It wasn't a joke

Mind you, at the time i also thought this was the best heavy rock had to offer

I mean its sounded like a joke, not that it was meant as one. Green Jelly, they're a blast from the past. They spawned Tool though.

I know, I got that, though if we use sales as any sort of barometer, it was their highest ranking single at #2! (alongside When Love & Hate Collide)

That's mental. It's like eating something because you like the colour of it, even though it tastes horrible. Or going to watch a football club you don't support because you like their kit. What do you do when you listen to it, just try to ignore the lyrics?

Maybe but Billy writes some great love songs in fact id go as far to say they are better than his political stuff
