all that proto prog shit and scummy blues groups, drivel like SFSorrow, Oddyssey and Oo-aaricle, Pepper and the Moody Fucking Blues, bleeding Rock Operas, cunting Van the Plank, the new, disimproved artsy-farts Beach Boys, the first two Stooges dirgeathons, all that shiny suits, sweat and farty horns 'soul', not to mention that nonsense Miles Davis pumped out because he had a hard-on for Hendrix, and of course funky-wunky cowbell wahwah - I'm always giving them a kicking, and others slaughter the Grateful Dead.
And 1976-1988 was easily the best period for British music.
For the record, I bought a reissue of that VDP thing and played it precisely once (
