ELO

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

The Clash had a lead singer that sung as though his mouth was full of cotton wool and it was just London, London, bloody London with them.

Possibly because thats where they came from.
In the same way numerous Manchester bands namecheck Manchester.
What the hell were they supposed to make reference to - Peru?

yep you can,but some on here have been dissing the clash.as said to jimharri last night ,you might not like the clash but cant call them tuneless.and to say they were just punk is pathetic.

Music seems to divide people on here just as much as politics and religion sometimes. It's silly imho.

I liked the Clash and I liked ELO. No need to be in just one camp imho.

Both grteat bands, and i have no idea whay anyone would even attempt comparing them?

The Clash were one of the first punk bands that adopted the reggae sound... them and SLF that is.

Spot on Bris.

I fail to understand why people don't get that. Pretty much what I listen to is determined by how I feel.

I love the diversity of music. It's really the only thing that gives you so much variation. Even books (although they are my first love) fail to do it in the same way.

ELO.

Hmmm...i know you have been waiting for my input into this thread.And i have been on the scotch tonight but here goes...

Fucking class band.Good live.Excellent sing a long hum at work music.

A list of greatest hits as long as an elephants cock.

Even the non single stuff is great and as for the album "out of the blue" what can you say except...cock on!

So they were a bit samey.So the lyrics were a bit shite.Listen to the music man.Don't diss the bearded one.He make good um music.
