LOL - That was a long time ago. Good ol' JDL -The Teens were mates with the Yardbirds and several notorious muscians came from that area -including Peter Gabriel of whom I am not a fan. For example of the Surrey connection - Keith Emmerson and Phil Collins played with the VIP's - Their lead guitarist was Roger someone was my first guitar teacher. He was a mate's sisters boyfriend. He had a very expensive Burns guitar - way out of my Hofner budget.

Spinal Tap!!!

I typically post this to threads about Google PageRank

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

It's one louder isn't it?? LOL

I always suspected that Abba trax contained subliminal messages (such as "Blimey - this is good stuff"). I was never able to not like them, no matter how hard I tried. I hated myself for it !

My favourite was:
Kings of Leon, Brand New, Dashboard Confessional, Bloc Party, Death Cab For Cutie, Snow Patrol - These ARE the super bands

Quote:

While music scribes and the Bay Area faithful continue to preach the golden-era gospel of monolithic super bands from the '60s, the alternative music congregation believes Kraftwerk, Talking Heads and Joy Division to be more influential than the Beatles, the Stones and the Dead. These alt-rockers know their music has been underappreciated, while all of the references to the Stones printed in The Chronicle over the past 40 years probably exceed the number of times the word "God" is used in the Bible...

There was only one superband, Skynyrd.

There were some bands worth an honorable mention (in no particular order other than off the top of my head) zeppelin, purple, lizzy, floyd, the who, ac/dc, rush.

You can mention so many more, everyone has their own tastes so you would need to ask as many as is humanly possible whilst taking a sample from all walks of life to get a real picture of general public opinion and if they don't say skynyrd well then %&$( em
