Its just a pity at their last night we have to listen to Land Of Hope And Glory written by my most disliked composer. Mind you i can take it with the sound off. Is it LOHAG or Elgar's work as a whole that you dislike?. (Can't stand LOHAG however enjoy listening to his other stuff).

Do not like the music of Eric Coates and Ralph Vaughen Williams either so it could be a british composer thing from a certain era i cannot take to.

Mind you i can take it with the sound off. i actually got tickets for the last night in the 80s, through a friend who was in BBC Symphony Chorus. Was a great evening but think the days of Rule Brittania Land of Hope and Glory are definitely past their sell by date. On the subject of classical music we had a Solstice concert at midnight (still light here). World premiere of heavily adapted Peedie Eine Kleine Nachtmusik first movement and Morning from Peer Gynt played by accordion, cello, fiddle,guitar, flute and tenor whistle. Might be a few graves turning!

We’re not a naval superpower anymore, there’s little hope for large sections of the population, and we’re not exactly glorious compared to other nations. Sorry, but it’s anachrony for jingoists and the cultural élite.

Anachrony for Jingoists and the Cultural Élite was an album concept for The Durutti Column, but I think Tony Wilson pulled the plug before it ever reached the rarified atmosphere of Peter Street. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/5458784/images/nQPoSIK_iUaf9knSLEhD.gif)

Its pointless knocking it for that like victorians get knocked for having victorian values and not those popular today.

On the other hand, if Aliens now starts with a trigger warning because Jeanette Goldstein was made up to look Hispanic, and it’s no longer acceptable for Hank Azaria to voice Apu in the Simpsons, is it really OK to have a singalong these days about how strong our empire is and how it’s other countries’ fault if they’re taken over by tyrants because they’re not as “blessed” as ours?

In no particular order though restricted to one per artist as Bowie would command quite a few of the top spots.
David Bowie - Queen Bitch Radiohead - Just Pulp - Disco 2000 The Cult - Rain The Killers - All These Things... Jane's Addiction - Stop! Nine Inch Nails - Wish Echo and the Bunnymen - Bring on the Dancing Horses

Do not like the music of Eric Coates and Ralph Vaughen Williams either so it could be a british composer thing from a certain era i cannot take to. Shame about Ralph Vaughan Williams, Timbers. Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, The Lark Ascending, Fantasia on Greensleeves etc etc. He also composed superb symphonies. Along with Byrd, Tallis, Purcell, Britten, Tippett, Delius, Walton, Arnold and Macmillan (and Elgar), RVW is/was a great British composer. I feel a poll coming on. With regard to Eric Coates, he is one of many of the long list of composers of light music which Britain excels at, along with Ron Goodwin and John Addison, et al.

Listen up - Oasis Song for whoever - Beautiful South Ghosts - the jam She bangs the drums - stone roses Rubber bullets - 10cc Pictures of you - the cure Whole lot of love - led zeppelin View of the afternoon - Arctic monkeys Won't get fooled again - the who Gotta get away - stiff little fingers SLF were amongst my favourite bands growing up. Played a support slot for XSLF a few years back (I think it was in Derby). Jim Reilly asked if he could use my drum kit (as it was better than the house kit). And then dutifully signed pretty much every part of my kit. Also got Cluney's signature on a load of merch that they gifted to us. Great memories. Lovely guys. Played an absolute banger of a set to. Great lads - mate blagged us into after party after Ritz gig a few years ago. Good laugh and v friendly. Think that last gig at the Academy will be my last one though. Time catches up with everybody.
