ExiledInIllinois Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Damn! How do you top this guilty pleasure (1992): Sophie B. it cranking out 15 million views, all to the bitter end no doubt! Gugny... If you ain't cranking it, you're spanking it... Which you are probably doing (both) anyway! You can thank me later @ the Tennessee game! EDIT: The treat of the video and Sophie B. , you weirdos! ? Edited August 29, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Quote

Rico Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: I'm not so sure about that. Most of the kids today are more concerned with Taylor Swift, rap/hip-hop, and the like. I haven't asked any of them if they know who the Sex Pistols are; they may have 'heard' of them just because of the unique name, but I doubt they could identify any of their music or know who Johhny Rotten (Lydon) is. You can say that about anything from the 60’s and 70’s, or even later. I’m sure there are kids who know nothing about the Beatles either. I think though that most any kid who has an interest in rock and rock history would have at least heard of the Sex Pistols. I can’t consider them as being obscure, especially compared to the other acts mentioned in this thread. You can’t write the history of music without them. Edited August 29, 2018 by Rico Quote
Pete Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Just like Zepp, Clapton stole some of his best material Quote
T&C Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 I hadn't thought of these guys in awhile but I was reading an article yesterday that mentioned them. Quote
DrW Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Elastica, one great album (the eponymous "Elastica") of catchy alt/rock/pop. They had a second album ("The Menace") several years later, which was far inferior. Here a live version of "Waking Up" with Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) having his fun on the keyboards.

row_33 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I half-heard Girls Just Wanna Have Fun the other day at brunch and instantly recaptured the whole song and video without thinking about it for 30 or so years. i had never concluded it was a ska influenced tune until this week. Quote
