Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia - My Elixir My Poison
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Battles - Mirrored
Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning
Loving all of them and am feeling very bitter about missing Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia's life.

Sometimes you just gotta tell it how it is man.
I fail to see where:
'Muse are guitar w*nkery pop'
'AM are shit'
'AM are indieshitpop'
'AM are poo'
really counts for 'half the festival fun'
Seems like pointless flaming to me.
-
how would u define muse if am are indie pop?
-
Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia
What an album, can't believe I let it sit ignored on my shelf for nearly 4 months.

Sales don't determine quality. At all. Sales do however determine how worthy a band is of headlining a festival. Much as I'd far rather see a 2-hour set from someone like Opeth than a 2-hour Lostprophets set, Opeth don't deserve to headline, because they haven't shifted enough records, haven't got enough fans, wouldn't sell many tickets. Lostprophets and MCR appeal to a larger proportion of the Download-going demographic than Tool and attract huge numbers of people that would go entirely for the headliners. A fair number of the people here would go regardless of the headliners because they're confident that there will be plenty of bands lower down/on the other stages that would make the ticket price worth-while. IMO Tool are the best band that's headlined Download, but they won't shift as many tickets. Download only has to put good headliners up in order to sell tickets, no other reason. Tool would attract a lot of people, but they wouldn't shift ticket sales up anywhere near as much as the likes of MCR and Lostprophets, depressingly.

Oooh....i dont even know where to begin with you
-
and Tool piss over every band on that list from a great height...
-
Should've seperated the sentences out. The examples weren't meant to be connected.
Edited now. Added in mild description of the Verve albums, first 2 of which weren't even near Britpop
-
welll its all opinons isn't it. but I thiink the majority of people who know there head from there arse felt don't belive the truth was a return to form for oasis so for you not to give credit there is strange and makes me feel that no matter what they did u wouldn't review them in a posative light.
-
nah Ive never bought into this......its the typical build them up to drop them ...
This is the way i see Oasis albums...
Definitely Maybe - great
(What's the Story) Morning Glory - great
Be Here Now - average
Heathen Chemistry - good
The Masterplan - very good
Don't Believe The Truth - very good / great (cant seattle)
I am a big Oasis fan....but I also think im fair....the only naff album in my eyes was Be Here Now....the rest were at least in the good bracket. You will struggle to find many bands out their that have managed to keep up the level of success over so many years. The majority of there gigs sell out here and in europe, and they have some level of sucess in the US and the widder world.
Alot of unfair shit gets thrown there way which is usally a class issue in my eyes.
By the way.....
Urban Hymns - Great
the rest...average....
-
Eh?
Actually that sums up Be Here now perfectly
-
Yep in my opinion that was what I thought back in the 90's
I saw the Verve support Oasis at Earls court and they blew them off the stage, even Noel said so afterwards.
The Verve live was just something else, imo nothing else could touch them.
Don't get me wrong I love Oasis (15 times seen them live), but as an overall package, give me the verve any time.
-
I really want the Verve to headline the other stage, think it would be perfect for them. They could then play lots of stuff off Storm in Heaven and Northern Soul without having to please with Urban Hymns tunes like they would on the Pyramid stage (If that makes sense???). I would put them up against Muse on the Friday night
-
I still reckon they'll be at Reading/Leeds even if they do Glasto, cos they'll want a big pay-cheque from someone. Reforms are *ALWAYS* about the money.
-
Kaisers would surely headline.
MCR would probably headline on the Saturday, not be 2nd on the Sunday.
QOTSA would be 2nd headline on the Sunday if they play. Can't really see any other slot fitting them. 3rd is just a bit too low.
Otherwise looks quite plausible.
-
I think they'll definately be there, about 4th/5th from top?
-
Thank god I have a ticket for the Apollo.
Though if they do do any festivals they'd pull me anyway.

Indeed, of course, sometimes grades at GCSE/A-level can provide an indication of what you can do, as can IQ, however both are hugely fallible at doing so. They do however, as you said, provide several career pathways, so have a use.
I'd argue that suitable qualifications can make you more able to make a valid point, as in gaining such qualifications there is a high chance you will grow to learn and understand more on the subject matter. However that's not to say that those without such qualifications will be any less able to. To re-emphasise my original point: the ability to make the point is what matters, not any qualification which might imply that you can. All any exam/test/course results, including IQ, can do is imply you can do things. Useful as a rough guideline to what skills people have, but only a rough guideline.

Why do you need to be a first class honours psychology graduate to tell people that? It's just basic common sense, unless you've got any statistical results to prove it, but even then it's the results that are significant, not who tells them.

one day...

I said back on topic dammit!
-
aahahahahaaaa.
Funny because it's true.
The first question of the Maths GCSE paper was 'Find the area of the rectangle'.
What followed was a diagram of a rectangle with one side marked '2' and another marked '5'
Ah, those were the days....
....But anyway, competitions about how many A's you have are ridiculous and pointless. Written exams are a shit way of proving how clever you are.
I've got an IQ of 146, but I only got BCC for A Level.
Back on topic people.
Wellies are for little girls.
-
Aww, you almost made me feel bad for a moment there.
-
how the f**k did a thread about Wellies turn to a thread about exam results and their validity? ho hum. f**k it. Wellies are for girls only and I think they look stupid on girls anyway. Converse all the way, even in 2ft of mud.
Latest album you have bought/downloaded
