These pithy homespun homilies don't take much investigation do they.
Taken literally that would mean you and your large hypothetical family
should desire and be happy living in a 2 room damp, cold hovel, and wanting something
better is somehow sinful and wrong ?

In my opinion, Amy Winehouse was never any good.
I wouldn’t go that far, but she didnt do much original; her music and style(s) were highly derivative of earlier genres. For 20 minutes.
Nothing else, just that.
For 20 minutes.
And was still probably going on after i got bored and turned over.

I was a big Led Zep fan when I was a teenager. And Robert Plant is a proper legend.
I dont like Led Zep at all, mainly because of Robert Plant's voice which I find really annoying. The best I can say about it is that it's like a slightly better version of Axl Rose. If all of Led Zeppelin's records were re-done with Roger Daltrey singing it's possible I'd like them.
By the way, I'm only saying this because of thread topic.
Jethro Tull are bloody fantastic & much more fun to listen to than Led Zeppelin.
Also Ian Anderson is a legend and seems quite a funny & down to earth person whereas Robert Plant is a prima donna.
There’s a great story that Tull and Zeppelin were both at a recording studio, the 2 bands very rarely bumped into eachother but one day Ian Anderson was making a cup of tea in the kitchen when Robert Plant walks in.
A bit starstruck & wanting to break the ice Ian Anderson says
“you know with Tull’s lyrics & Zeppelin’s music we could have quite a good little rock n’roll band…”
Apparently Robert Plant stormed out & didn’t speak to him again. Ian didn’t know that Jimmy Paige did the music & Plant the words as in Tull it was more of an organic process involving the whole band.

t, but If hardly anyone likes a particular band or type of music, this doesn't mean it is good.Stick Legs said:

Nothing to do with the thread title but I saw a great clip from a TV interview where Annie Nightingale was speaking to Paul Simon. He mentioned that fact that he did the writing for Simon and Garfunkel so she started the next question with something like "OK, so you do most of the writing .......... " and he came back straight faced with "No, I write all of it. I write it all." He didn't look happy.

My opinion: Jazz would be a lot better if everyone in the group agreed to play the same song at the same time, given that they are often pretty decent musicians. But the fact that they can't agree, and everyone if playing a different song, means it sounds like a bunch of feral cats having an orgy on a pile of dustbin lids.

That isn't jazz, that's jamming which is often popular with jazz music.Stick Legs said:

Sorry, but Robert Plant is absolutely not a prima donna. He is a really kind and genuine man, quite hard to believe what he was part of. Dislike his music but there is nothing to dislike of him as a person.Also Ian Anderson is a legend and seems quite a funny & down to earth person whereas Robert Plant is a prima donna.

RP is famously a Wolves fan & goes often but also turns up at Walsall occasionally & a friend of mine is a Saddlers season ticket holder & has bumped into him a few times, says it's always surreal chatting about this or that fullback & thinking I used to have a poster of you on my bedroom wall.
Come on chaps. There must be an old muso bore thread somewhere 
Here’s another UO. People who don’t have kids should not have to pay council tax. And council tax should go up the more kids you have. Why? Dunno. Just seems a bit unfair as a single self sufficient chap with a small footprint on the world should have to pay even 75% of what the huge tribe across the road have to pay.
