"There will be no next time" was their best song in my opinion.

i don't have that. i've never heard anything except off that one album

That's great. But can i be the first to say that Fascist Cops sounds exactly like EMI? Good stuff though.

seeing their faces ruined it

Yeah, Ferris Buellers Day Off style punks. Not good! Great song though.

well, that depends on whether you like the clash. i'm slightly at a loss trying to explain myself anyway, as to me the clash are synonymous with stodge and i'm baffled that anyone could disagree.

Isn't it frustrating when you know a band is bad, but people don't realise it? It's the same for me with the Stooges. Now there's stodge.

Of course, it's you that's wrong in this case.

ok, well not including white riot, explain how they aren't stodgy.

It's not up to me to explain. You're the accuser.

I accept that there are fools who don't like them, I just don't see the stodgy factor.

I think The Clash had stodgy politics (well Strummer, anyway) and I'm not a fan of the production on their first album, but I wouldn't say they were musically stodgy at all. Very tight, very direct. The opposite of stodgy in my book. Saying that, my favourite album of theirs, Sandanista, could reasonably be described as being a bit stodgy, but only in the same way that, say, Prince's Sign o' the Times might be described as such.

That's what I should've said. No stodge. Tight and direct. Very good you neg repping bastard (I haven't forgotten).

gobshite dire straights is what they are

Weirdo.

Nor have I stopped scratching since you got unreasonable with that spider picture. You are, I believe, the only person I've ever neg-repped since being here.

I don't know what to say.

I use to get neg rep all the time. I had a tear when I saw that little red box. Reminded me of darker times.

Permit me to be a bit of a prat here, and say that the first Dire Straits album isn't that bad at all. Later efforts are, of course, beyond the pale, but that first album. Well, it's alright really.

I'm neg repped constantly. Seriously. If I had any kind of self-respect I'd stop coming here altogether. But I don't, so here I am. Again. Personally I don't like neg-repping people. But I dunno, spiders. That's just a bit much in my book.

Who neg reps you?

I can't imagine anybody being offended by anything you say.

Bored witless yes, offended no.

That was a joke incidentally. Just in case your neg repping finger is twitching.

I won't say who. But I will say that, if anything, they're even more boring than I am. which should narrow things down considerably.
