After giving it some consideration, i think it’s time to bring back this old custom. It would come in handy for anyone who buys a Justin Bieber or Chipmunk record. I thought it was me, but it isn’t. Music really is that pi*s these days. I was checking out the charts, because i hadn’t in a good while, and it was jam packed with mediocrity. Re- releases(poor ones), synchronization, talentless dross and putrid garbage seems to be what’s popular. I daren’t use the term ‘these days’, because that would make me feel old. There’s barely a decent track to be found in the top 10. I checked the number 1 on youtube, and it has 15 million views on the particular stream i watched, which is probably about 14.9 million too many. Therefore, moral crusaders, i can only assume that the acne ridden teenagers buy music, and the people with taste nick it for nothing online. Shame on you all. I do like Alicia Keys though, she is talented.
You wind me up like a Clockwork Orange,
then you hide the key to my destination,
No satisfaction its all frustration
the times are a changing they"re changin me.
Open the cage let free the animals

No satisfaction its all frustration
the times are a changing when you"re….!I just googled that Gordon. That’s as bad as the stuff i’m talking about. No wonder you lost the plot !
Funnily enough i was listening to the Angelic Upstarts on the way home from walking the course at Doncaster this afternoon!
Cockney Rejects next!
If they bring back the hangings, i think you’d better hide mate, just incase. I can see you with a pair of binoculars and a mp3 player, standing in a gallows que behind the chipmunk and justin bieber massive.

’twas ever the case
The ‘Hit Parade’ was never exactly choc full with quality
No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the [American] public
as a wise man once wrote long ago and Simon Cowell knows only too well
30 years ago Goldie you, like me, would have been mourning the passing of Sounds of the Seventies

Cockney Rejects next!There I was thinking you had no redeeming features TAPK! John Peel would’ve been proud of you!
Maybe it is time to bring back hangings, as "Their Destiny Is Coming"! You "Lonely Man Of Spandau"!
Then again, may be that should read "bring back The Men They Couldn’t Hang"?
How do you do now young Willie MacBride.
Do you mind if I sit down beside your graveside?
And sit for a while, ‘neath the warm summer sun.
I’ve been working all da-ay, and I’m nearly done.
I see by your gravestone you were only 19.
When you joined the great fallen of 1916.
Well I hope you died well, and I hope you died clean.
Or Willie MacBride was it slow and obsene?Men They Couldn’t Hang – Green Fields Of France.
Best rememberance song ever written.Value Is EverythingGinger/Chloed
Agreed, and here’s The Furey’s version:

In a similar vein and up there with it:

Now why-oh-why is it that whenever I see or hear Tony faaarking Blair these songs and images are recalled
I used to sing the Eric Bogle song, The Green Fields Of France at new year’s parties – mostly when requested to do so. That and Bogle’s other anti-war song The Band Played Waltzing Matida. I was the only one who knew all the words.
I saw Eric Bogle perform both songs in concert – but if you want to hear the definitive version ( imo ) of Green Fields Of France, then look no further than the excellent June Tabor. You’ll find it on her 1977 Ashes & Diamonds album. John Peel used to play it every other week.

That’s a cracking post Goldikova.
I’m only 28 & I was seriously starting to think I was just getting old but that turns out to be wrong, new music really stinks.
Most annoying are those ‘vocoder’ vocals that everyone uses now. And my problem is I’ve heard some of the people who use this effect actually sing live & they can do it, they just choose not to.

John was a pioneer in bringing the "underground" Punk to the masses, 10,30pm every night, The Undertones, The Skids, The Damned, even a bit of "Discharge" Fight the system fight back,songs like that are what inspired me to be the Poet i am today!! John cooper clark couldn"t lace my boots!
Much prefer Billy Bragg or Attilla the Stockbroker to John Cooper Clark. Enjoyed those strange sessions from Ivor Cutler too.
Can’t recall "Discharge", though "Penetration"…..!!!
Undertones were brilliant.
Stiff Little Fingers weren’t far behind them.I copied the lyrics from "Alternative Ulster" for a poetry project at school!
Teenage Kicks eh!
Value Is EverythingStiff little fingers "At the Edge" is my all time favourite song and we all have umpteen favourites,but that one sums it up for me!

If it sells then its good enough; hanging is a bit harsh.
Goldikova,
Search Giggs Grime, this should be your sort of music.
