well thats me told then. hang on a sec while i post a pic of freddie fucking mercury! not

Why's he banging on about 'rock' music when he posts bands that, if you had to put in a category, would be classed as RandB or even 'pop' (stones, Elvis, beatles

Yes, they all may have laid some tentative claim to R&B somewhere, but there were few bands in the early '60s who didn't. Let's have it right, they were all rock acts one way or another. Surely the "King of Rock and Roll" might have given Elvis away, The Beatles made some of the great rock recordings of the '60s while the Stones had to make do with being the "greatest rock ‘n' roll band in the world" since the late 60s.

Now I know it's de rigueur to namecheck Factory/New Order etc on every single music thread we have on here, but rock (because that's what's in the title thread)? Hardly! In fact you could argue that many Tony Wilson and his Factory acts were the antithesis of rock.

As for Edwin Starr, Wigan Casino etc. etc. Overeulogised perhaps, but never in a million years were they anything to do with rock. I'm no expert on the genre, but wasn't this soul? So what's old Edwin even doing in the thread???

my history . not some middle america shite rock that means nowt to me
