    The Sex Pistols were a Rock N Roll Band, Punk was over by 1973.

    Metal has never and will never die, it is just classified differently.

    U2 were great up to 1980, they are one of the crassest commercial enterprises in music lately.

    The Clash again were a great Rock Band, and NEVER sold out, what a lot of tripe!

    Ah right. No, that's not what I'm accusing you of at all.

    What I am saying is that rave music is simply the same as taking someone else's work and reinventing it slightly, and then presenting it as your own work and having it accepted as such. (On reflection it's a poor analogy, I confess..! )

    The DJ can never be classed the same as the virtuoso musician. There is no comparison whatsoever.

    OK, you might enjoy and appreciate the DJ and 'his' music. But it's not the same as listening to Segovia or Zappa or Beck (for instance). They were/are innovators, true musical geniuses and creators. They used their own instruments, their own imaginations and were limited only by their own imaginations.

    I'm afraid I don't think anyone can say the same of any DJ.

    Default depends on the mood

    eclectic mix here:

    one to another - charlatans, heard it first time in my car when i was really hacked off, and shortly before the late great rob collins died. and I played it at the end of my wedding.

    hurt - covered by johny cash, a fitting tribute

    beautiful day - 3 colours red, bought the cassette single for my wife http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGq7j8KuTDE

    you are here - the candyskins, always listen to it to get confidence

    when we where young - whipping boy, they rock and they slag off bono, song makes me cry for my youth again. worth a listen just to tick off all the naughty things you did as a kid!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_cNkf9dnbA

    fear - ian brown, simple lyrics, word says it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgI1ovaYrl4

    so what - anti nowhere league, when im rebelling

    in a room - dodgy, closest a drummer has ever got to keith moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWy3Q-eQaOk

    and finally - 'behind blue eyes' or 'who are you' by the who. I always loved the mod idea when I was young and now I realise how silly I was trying to be different like all my mates but the music just kicked ass.

    "we are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods"

    U2 sell out....I have never read such pooh in a long time lol lol lol..what does sell out mean exactly, within the context of your "metal is not dead..underground etc" it would seem that you suggest that as U2 are mainstream / overground succesful ( and metal being underground is not mainstream ) they are a sell out and metal aint ie the purism of metal as an art form. U2 charted from day 1 with album number 1 ( Boy ) and everything they did has charted, usually big time hence mainstream success. Bands dont sell out they either sell or they are dropped..and every band has to compromise, as in life, to continue..those who dont become "underground" slevered over by people who convince themselves that only they ( the elite minority ) get it !!! the reality being that the vast majority dont want it near them..discuss !!
