I'm not exactly new here, having followed NB for ages now. (Think bunny-boiler, but without the bunny boiling.) Have often been tempted to comment but don't really know how to work one of these computer gizmos. However, too much vino has finally tempted me into having a go tonight. </p> <p>BJ; I think you could be my musical soul mate, if we could just add in a little Proclaimers (both of them) &amp; it goes without saying, Bernard Cribbens. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908&page=2#post-126192 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:55:44 +0000 beau-jolly 126192@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Billy Bragg, Jacques Brell, Johhnie Cash, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Ry Cooder and Benny Hill.</p> <p>EDIT:<br /> Oh and Madness and Buffy Sainte Marie and Dolly Parton and the Streets and Me First and the Gimee Gimees and Mr. Scruff (mainly for Whale Song).

By this, I refer to the abominable offerings that make Radio 1 so unbearable these days.</p> <p>I, myself, enjoy a healthy mix of modern and olden 'eclectic' music - CollieP, great word. This is summed up excellently by one of my modern day musical heroes, Steven Wilson; when asked what music he writes, he replies "Weird shit".</p> <p>Wayland, do you include the Ozric Tentacles or Gong in your Space Rock portfolio?</p> <p>My final observation is a lack of jazz types - any out there? I will readily put on a background be-bop (largely sax) album of an evening to pretend I'm sophisticated but too cool for classical. Davis, Coltrane, Oscar Peterson + Lester Young among others. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908&page=2#post-126143 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 17:17:21 +0000 Thor 126143@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yikes - with you on eminem - a poetic genius, but, sadly, a bigoted one. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908&page=2#post-126059 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:29:08 +0000 weematt 126059@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Where is Wallly now? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908&page=2#post-126058 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 03:35:34 +0000 riesler 126058@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Anyone hear of a band in the 70s called 'Wally'?

Some modern, to show that I’m down with the kids and still seeking out new music. Some oldies, to show that I appreciate the classics and take my music so seriously that I actively track down some from before I was even born. Then I throw in a less well known artist who critics generally agree is technically adept, to show that I’m about more than just what I’m spoon-fed, and I appreciate the talent involved in the playing of instruments. I’ll also mention something poppy or cheesy, to show that I don’t take myself too seriously and can have fun and laugh at myself.</p> <p>If she still doesn’t find me interesting or want to sleep with me then I’ll go and talk to somebody else.</p> <p>Err, I mean, woof. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908&page=2#post-125826 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 11:30:01 +0000 Haywood Manley 125826@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Magma - favourite band of snooker's Steve Davis.

Prog (Yes in particular) was always my favourite genre as a lad and still continues to be to this day. But when punk came in you nearly had to go into hiding for a good 20 years before being able to mention it in mixed company again. Though now it seems to be acceptable-ish once more.</p> <p>Always had a soft spot for Rush too. My fav album being <em>Moving Pictures</em>.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p><a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43996" rel="nofollow">http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43996</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908#post-125812 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:15:20 +0000 Textbook 125812@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Duff: Magma are massive in prog circles.</p> <p>Ooh, new Rush album out. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43908#post-125807 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:01:40 +0000 Duff 125807@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My favs?
