Liberal down votes handed out for the denegration of Prog rock. I agree, at its worst it was pretty horrible, but at its best it was awesome. In the punk era it became a sin to be able to play an instrument properly. WTF was that all about? In their prime, bands like ELP, Yes and early Genesis were amazingly creative and pushed the boundaries of modern music into different directions. Good prog rock will become the classical music of that era.

His dream job, that he wouldāve looked very good for, if he was still with us rather than chasing money. How much to buy out his contract? Enjoy your bank balance Ronnie.

Iām not so sure those styles have gone.
Iām pretty sure we have one forum member who will have a lot of that in his wardrobe 
Oh and Thatcher era? Why does anyone only remember the Milk Snatcher? Why does nobody remember 20% ++ Interest Rates and the decimation that the ERM nonsense caused to British Householders & Businesses.
If we hadnāt had Disco we would never have had the legend thatis Nile Rodgers. Prog Rock gave us Alice Cooper as well as Genesis & Peter Gabriel ffs

I certainly qualify as an elder, if nothing else! I was 16 when the 70s kicked in so I have a good take on the era. The Summer Of Love was long gone and even then, cynisism was kicking in. The fashions were awful. The beer was crap. We had three day weeks and I often couldnt get to work in the early 70s because the trains werent running. Rubbish piled up on the streets. The IRA were blowing people up all over the place. Still, we didnt know any different and we were young, so you make the best of things and still have a laugh. There was some great live music around (off all types) and England were still a decent football team. Booze was realtively cheap. There were less channels on TV but the quality of the programmes was better. PC wasnt even a glint in Mary Whitehouseās eye. There were some great movies produced in the 70s. Looking back they seem tame now, but at the time they were groundbreaking. Freddie Laker brought the cost of flying across to the States down and all of a sudden ānormalā people could afford to travel further afield. I wouldnt say it was a great decade, but I would say that there were more seismic political social and artistic shifts in the 70s than any other decade I have lived through (for better or worse).

Better still if Poch gets the gig. Not only will it stuff up Ronās ambitions but it would screw Spuds as well!

i just read the actual story tho, i am not quite so lol now rip
Can you fix the headline now youāve read the story?
MAN DONE RAPE
Was it a quick conviction or did he admit it or something or just call the Sun straight afterwards?
How could he have ājustā done it?
i can answer that. I am entirely mistress of this subject. What happened was this bro woke up on his wedding day, sorted out his suit, went to barbers and got wet shave etc, then he was like hmm. Still got 3 hours before the wedding. Time to kill. So he popped down to Victoria Park and raped a stranger, as you do.
I.e. he done it ājustā before getting married.
Some of the detail in the story was Awful. He dragged this poor woman into the bushes, and was playing āsickening mind gamesā with her. It was like:
HIM: What do you think Iām gonna do now?
HER: Let me go?
HIM: No. Iām gonna take off ur bra. What do you think Iām gonna do now?
HER: Let me go?
HIM: No. Iām gonna take off ur knickers. What do you think Iām gonna do now?
HER: Put it in my vagina?
HIM: Guess again
SOG mentioned prog rock āat its bestā. My view is that it was only ever at its worst. Hence there was no ābestā for it to be at. I could have simply said that the phrase was an oxymoron I suppose.

Another mad Russian politician they must breed them over there for this type of stuff.
also noticed that a Saints fan was sentenced in Birmingham for fighting or starting a fight before last years West Brom game.
They need to close Parliament.
No shit sherlock
But what they dont need to do is let them move anywhere else. Or reopen it just close it down and put the money grabbing freeloaders on the dole.
