While don't like what I've heard of the MSPs and see no reason to investigate further, was amazed that a thread about them made it to 8 pages.

Then in a moment that can only be described as Damascene, I saw who started the thread and the scales fell from my eyes! Good luck with getting it to 250-pages, Copey!

Well, to you it very well might not. Perhaps you can find an English speaker on the boat to give you a hand?

Thank you!

Then it could be up there with Permashambles and RWC, two of BCB's most "popular" and long lasting threads.

The Manics deserve a permanent thread so all the mouth breathers can get the fact that they really don't like them off their chests over and over and over and over again.

It is something that looks sage but is in fact meaningless.

Like most of your contributions.

I laid out a fairly innocuous case for them and let the vitriol flow.

8 pages now.

A thread on Muse would garner one page, generally favourable.

For some reason people seem compelled to share their hatred of MSP in great detail., it is fascinating.

They are a pretty pedestrian second-division plodrock outfit who no-one really particularly has any strong feelings about.


:lol:

Like most people who hate them you appear to have heard very little of their music.

And this very thread shows your point to be risible.

You seem to have made a BCB career out of being spectacularly and comically wrong in just about everything you write, good to see you aren't having an off day here.

Who writes a post on page 8 of a thread saying no one is interested in the thread, you are a hoot.


The silly things you say about them, however, do provoke responses.


Basically all I said is I really like the Manics, the judgement that this is silly and the undeniable compulsion to comment on that is all yours.

And your idea of "interesting" matches your boofer-loofer kitschmensch idea of what constitutes decent music.



Thank you, I think you have all the musical taste of a ten year old dish rag as well.

"Who writes a post on page 8 of a thread saying no-one is interested in the thread?"

Good question. I certainly didn't.
Goodness gracious me.

I'd forgotten how much I liked Your Love Alone Is Not Enough, so I picked up the album it's from, Send Away The Tigers, for less than £2 from Amazon shops (my thrift store). I'm actually shocked by how good it is: a keeper.

I honestly don't think I've ever knowingly heard anything by the Manic Street Preachers.

I wonder if that will ever change?

Probably not.

Isn't Autumnsong on Send Away The Tigers brilliant?

I love that cheeky GnR rip off guitar motif
