Now calming my tits, got a bit over excited.

Apparently I’m not listening to much:

I don’t recognise half the “act”s in the list (well, their music anyway)

I revel in my philistinism

Sometimes only the Bobmeister will do… especially when it’s new old versions from what I believe is one of the very best albums of all time

Is this the place to say I honestly can’t be bothered with Bob Dylan…?

He genuinely bores the sour piss out of me.

Similarly can’t be fucked with The Beatles (except Revolver and bits of the White Album), the Stones (fuck off you misogynist old cunts), Elvis (motherfuck him and John Wayne)…

Frankly, most of the white rock canon can fuck off to rancid death.

And Van Fucking Morrison, I’ll piss in his dead mouth, the cunt.

The 60s were bollocks except for Hendrix.

Perhaps it’s because possibly you were born after the '60s. If, like me you were raised in the '50s and '60s you’ll have a different perspective. I know for a growing lad, the '50s were deadly dull musically, crooners and novelty songs in general. The '60s were revolutionary in contrast but it doesn’t work for many who didn’t have to endure what went before.  
However, not a Dylan fan, or an Elvis (post army) fan or by any means Van Fuckin Morrison. The Beatles and The Stones were our own, liking was obligatory.

Ok. Agree largely apart from your last sentence. I was born in that decade so didn’t know the music, but catching up with what went on back in the day I have to say there was a load of stuff that kicked the 50’s into the long grass.

Edit: just to add. Same argument for the ‘70’s and punk.

The Chain thread has sent me off on a Tindersticks bender. This is so good, it’s almost intolerable:

And this, I bought it the same day I bought Aphex Twin’s first Selected Ambient Works album, and they both changed me in unchangeable ways:
