Beatles wannabes - Oasis???
 Madness and the other 2 tone bands created more than a movement! As a 13 year old, bands like Madness, Specials, Bad Manners, Beat, Selecter, Bodysnatchers, UB40 and many many more...not only changed our teenagers lives, they changed a nation's. Madness have stood the test of time. 35 years on they still record new music and sell out arenas. Are they up there with the all time greats? Not quite, but always a top night out. All aboard!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSTHMxBttlU |

Way back......60's 70's (Mint) progressing to 80's, 90's ....and on to present day....some good stuff too. o.k.? (No Punk though and head banging was never my scene).

I'm listening to the Del Shannon link
 As decent as it was nothing can ever match, yet alone beat the master Chuck Berry for originality, craft & musicianship. Chuck oozed class and owns the stage. Here he gives Keith Richards a lesson or two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8ZpHkS74U0 "If it winds up on the film, that's the way Chuck Berry plays it" |

I thought hating on Oasis was a bit 2010? They are one of the true greats and will go down as such, Madness won't.

Makybe_Diva - yep ...excellent choice (Baggy Trousers - for goodness sake!)

Soul music is good in small doses. Likened to supermarket shopping and afternoon naps  Then there's the polar opposite - Punk. One of music's better creations. Take SLF - Premier League Punk band from Belfast, yet many have never heard of them. Jake and the band are still touring and making records. Now in their "37th" year and released their 10th studio album a few months ago. Dewey, put your earplugs in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRYI_lWsaXY |
