Are you a rock snob?

[Cotswold Knight]

Fuck me the smiths and that boring prick morrissey,rather have my ears chopped off than listen to that crap ..

Couldn’t have put it better myself

They all simply merged into one band - Radio 1 staple diet in late 70's early 80's along with Rainbow, Whitesnake and other American poodle rock..... Couldnt tell the difference at all.
Then The Smiths came along and once more life was worth living once again....

Is it Rock snobbery if I demand you're put on a two week ban for even mentioning those utter cunts? I think so. The last sentence is bang on, but have a fucking word with yourself. The memories of shouting at the telly when they wankers were on took me years to exorcise. Thanks again.

@Mad Eyed Screamer called it that; I’d never heard the term but I love it. It’s for late 80s “hair metal” bands like Whitesnake whose members all had three foot long manes, but permed. I assume it carries over to Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Ratt, etc. to some degree.

I like it.......

Not up on my terminology - what the f#ck is poodle rock? :-)

Do I need to start reading NME again?

They are depressing. That's the point of them.

And onto poodle rock.

I like Bon Jovi. There, I said it. "Wanted, dead or alive" and "Dry County" are fine songs. As are others they wrote. I've even seen them live. I own a few albums. Early stuff granted.

I'll also say this, Extreme's Pornograffitti is an excellent record.

You clearly didn't grow up woith a sister that is five years younger and had his face plastered all over her bedroom walls.
I'll kill him.

And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Are you offering to take one for the team, Bob?

A worthy sacrifice. You (singular) will be remembered.

The best documentary ever on Bon Jovi (and shows that despite being mega-stars, they don't take themselves too seriously):

If you think the Smith's are depressing I would say you are a rock snob.

I'd say for more derogatory words based on the fact you think the smiths is rock ??
