*posting first on the new page to save trouble*

peace.

....... not keen on Motown......

haha.

peace.

Grew up on motown... and british invasion..... and beach boys!

*physically winces at the thought of the Beach boys*

peace.

The Beach Boys are wonderful; with one exception... The worst record of all time, in any category, must be the Beach Boys' "Be true to your school". I defy you to listen to it all the way through without grimacing in embarrasment...

not talking about what's left of the beach boys today, theory,

but those were the days back in the 60's - many of the groups had some very sweet harmonies

When some loud bragger tries to put me down
and says his school is great
I tell him right away
Ain't you ever heard of my school
it's number one in the state.

be tru to your school now
just like you would your girl or guy...

haha that song rocks.

p[eace.

I like the John B Sloop. Oh let me go home.

Was that the Locomotion Kylie move, eris? I admire a person with no shame. I have plenty of it, but it never stops me from getting out there and doing something truly embarrassing with enthusiasm.

I have to side with Peet and EvilRoy on the "Be True to Your School" makes-me-grimace-until-my-face-hurts debate. You need to knock the spuds outta your ears, Theory! I don't know about you, boy.

Oh, by the way, I apologise for the large file size on the pic, AmyP. I'm used to working with enormous photos at w**k, so it seemed pretty dinky to me at the time. I still need to get the knack of sending normal pics on the internet for ordinary viewing. (I overflowed the poor woman's in-box) I've since corrected the problem.

:::ducks as AmyP tosses a in her direction:::

AW

Believe me, after the food fight--no, war would be better--in the SWUS sign-up thread, I would not throw a at anyone... (I ended up hiding in a desk drawer until Thog promised he wouldn't materialize with the flame thrower without warning anymore, and Z fell and smashed the desk) (Don't ask *rolls eyes*)

For harmonies etc. the Mamas and Papas were way out in front.
AW

Oh yeah, those were the days of good harmonies... and what do we have now?
I"m not even going to mention the names of some of the groups we have now...

s to everyone anyway!

ahahahahahh It's not like it was when I was a boy you know

Bing Crosby, and that young Spike Milligan chappie being silly on the wireless you know. Fred and Ginger dancing and those Busby Berkley musicals .....

*Says "Pet Sounds" towards the Beach Boys argument*

*Is shocked anybody could not like Motown*

*s AW and wouldn't mind a peek at this piccy*

*sighs while baking in the bliss of music*

peace.

How bout SteppinWolf or The Temptations. The Mama & The Papas were good. Edwin Star War Good God Y'all. Spirit in the Sky Norman Greenbalm. I could go on but l digress. Hermin and the Hermits Mrs Brown you got a lovely Daugter. Not to mention the Beetles Or th Monkeys Or the Kingsmen the guys who really sung there songs for the most part.

or... how about... SLIPKNOT!!

peace.
