Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I really like Depeche mode for a particular era 1981-1990. I appreciate some groups want to evolve but they have been stuck in gloominess since about 1993. There have been the occasional catchy good song on albums since "precious" being one. Wish they would leave the industrial darkness alone and li...

JJ and Hugh (a little) nicked his duckwalk stance for their crouching thing they did/do on stage..

Always been a big Quo fan. Rick's style was often derided but hugely influential although very few would admit it.

The clash were quite a manipulated band. They were manufactured and thrown together and their forming wasn't organic. Bernie Rhodes arranged the meeting for Strummer and Jones to get together. They claimed to be working class living in bed sits when in fact half the band members came from well off m...

Not my thing at all but can appreciate she has a great personality and voice. Also she has worked hard to get where she is and hasn't gone through tv talent shows or selling a sexual image to shift albums. Just because you don't like something musically it doesn't mean it isn't any good and Adele is...

Sadly passed away today with a form of lymphoma seen them a few times, he was more like Weller than weller image wise and vocally, very sad news.

Never be embarrassed to say what you like as long as it makes you happy don't care about what others think.

Quite remarkable how the Damned have sold out the Albert Hall out like this. Just a few years a go they were playing to half empty pubs. They haven't really sold that many records since the 80s either, so nostalgia and hard work gigging has paid off for them and it is a landmark tour too I suppose. ...

Arsenal with simply on a different planet during that game and probably would have Beaten Chelsea, Barcelona, Brazil playing like they did on Saturday. Tim Sherwood is a good coach but this wasn't his team and once gets shot of some of the rubbish and offloads "star" players who no longer want to pl...

Quite like the new album, he seems much a happier bloke these days as well. Weller's albums since Stanley road have ben a bit hit or miss containing a few good songs here and there but this one is pretty consistent. I think nostalgic people think he is suddenly going to do an album of 60s mod covers...

Haven't heard the new one yet but glad they are back. A band who did something different on each album apart from becoming victims of their own success a bit in the mid 90s. They started off being marketed as a northern madchester type act something they hated as they were Essex Boys, and their seco...
