I know nothing much about Robbie Burns I admit and not much more about Deacon Bue but a mate of mine from Glasgow reckons Ricky Ross is a better poet-hes a real gone kid lol

You’ve probably grown up with all the old Burns staples JB..but try stepping away from the Burns sideshow and the tartan and the shortbread imagery..to find the philosopher in the man.

You could apply that same theory to Bin Laden and I still wouldn’t have an especially high opinion of him :lol:

How strange is that reply- I would have thought there was enough room for a couple of threads-some might not worship at the altar and have a some opinions that go against the grain-I’m a huge fan but even I realise that Ringo was not even the best drummer in The Beatles-bless him

If you think THAT was strange..stick around and I’ll…[Read more]

You’re gonna hate me for saying this esme, but I’ve never really been particularly enamoured with Rabbie Burns.

Burns night is like Halloween for me, something to be tolerated rather than enjoyed.

Have we got a Fabs thread on here? I dunno well you have now -love them hate them the choice is yours-I love them you might disagree

Oooh don’t try stealing Sgt. Pepper’s thunder, Micky. He is the afficianado around these parts.
Truth to tell..I’m one meself. What’s not to love about them ffs. :wink:

I truly can’t choose a favourite..maybe I can narrow it down to..
FOXTROT (Genesis)
LAND OF GREY AND PINK (Caravan)
PRETZEL LOGIC (Steely Dan)

That was fun..I scored 8 out of 8..call me Matahari 8)

As a lover of all animals but the Hare in particular, I am particularly moved by Burns’ pithy vocabulary here. Tender and angry by turns, this says much about the gentle heart and equitable nature of the author..

And blasted by thy murder-aiming eye;
May never pity soothe thee with a…[Read more]

I agree – why Phil Collins decided that it would be a good idea for him to take over on vocals is beyond me. He’s not even a very good drummer – but at least when he’s playing you don’t have to listen to him sing!

Have you ever been to see Gabriel solo – he does an absolutely fantastic show, is a great showman, actually…

Foxtrot and Nursery Chryme are great albums as is Lamb -downhill then dont you reckon?

For me, Peter Gabriel WAS Genesis, so without him, the band never again attained the giddy heights of the likes of Foxtrot..the seminal Genesis offering.
That said..I loved Trick Of The Tail..but over the years have found it difficult to warm to…[Read more]
