Ha fucking ha fucking ha.

Great band, shit bassist.

Led Zeppelin.
The Beatles. (That one's a personal thing, my mom was a huge fan while I was growing up, and literally only owned their catalog and nothing else. And my dad hates music. So this is all I heard growing up, so I never EVER want to hear them again.)

I know there's more but can't remember them right now.

O noes

yeah i know where the word comes from and all but it's a stupid music critic term.

i'm constantly in awe of how amazing among the living, et al. are despite having some of the worse vocals in the history of forever.

thankfully, i got to see them with john bush just a few months before they "reunited".

Everybody despises a band that somebody else loves.

I don't get the fucking point of this bloody awful thread.

then, why'd you reply above?

i love how you trash the english in one thread and make use of their slang (poorly i might add) in another. ffs.

I'll make use of it however bloody awfully I bloody well feel loik it.

Momentary lapse in judgement.

ok so...

Pink Floyd (I got into their catalogue, but it's so annoying/bad now)
Rolling Stones (they might have a chance some day)
Led Zep
Cat Stevens
Radiohead (LOL)

Keane, Coldplay, ''New Grave'' shite bands and all the bedwetters are to blame firmly on Radiohead. Radiohead should be blamed for a lot of things.

Oh, and Turin fucking Brakes!

Whatever gmku thinks of English people, I don't know, but he used the slang there OK. No different to how a typical English, or Australian person would. I always find it odd when American's use British slang when speaking, just as I'd sound a bit weird saying 'asshole' or 'dude' or 'individualism', but when typing it, I could write, 'up your ass' and I'm convinced you'd all be fooled into believing I was from Ohio, just as if I said 'well sick', noone would be fooled for a second that I was a Kiwi, but if I typed it, I'm sure i'd get away with it.

Either way, I thought Cantankarous was British up to about six months ago, so what do I know?

i've got an american friend who says "dude" every other word, it's the most i can do to stop myself from saying it, even though i actually like it as a word.

In her flippin' dreams.

How's Cat Stevens seminal?

abu hamza jizzed in his beard

I hate it when American's use British terms when speaking to us. I have a good friend who has started using the term 'the missus' when refering to his wife. This is a term I hate when used by British people, but from an American it just sounds even more awful.

The hardest thing about trying to avoid American slang is the way it's become almost international. Words like 'man' and 'dude' are used all over the world now, in a way that words like 'flippin', 'blimey' and 'bloody' simply aren't - apart from maybe India.

Americans saying quid always always ALWAYS sounds terrible. Just as I'm sure it would if I said 'bucks'.

Ever since hearing this line in some Brit comedy series on BBC here in the states, I've loved using this one during my road rage moments: "Move yer bloomin' arse!"

I just love it. Bloomin' arse. There's no American slang that works as well.
