I've never read a Hairy Pooter book and only sat through a couple of the films, they're not my cup of tea to be honest, but don't let that stop you attempting to belittle me, so please do continue. You may have something insightful and interesting to say, but you cannot seem to find a way to say it that isn't patronising (as your reply adequately illustrates) and that weakens whatever you point you are trying to make. It is possible to make a point and make yourself look more erudite and informed without making denigrating remarks about the people here on the PA. From my experience the "people here" are incredibly knowledgeable, well read, well educated and have a far broader outlook and breadth of experience than you ever give them credit for. ...that said, who is Jane?

^ I think Jane is really Janey who appears in Janey Got A Gun by Aerosmith?, which Moshkito presents as some sort of nadir of how bad rock lyrics can get. Funny, as it's a very good song with intelligent, confrontational and thought provoking wurdz ya dig bro

everyone wants their five minutes of fame. Are you saying that punk actually had integrity? Punk was shallow and about appearance (not just style wise but how something comes across) imo. It did produce some good bands that were far too good to be categorised as punk like the Stranglers for instance but it suited those bands to fall into line. Everyone does ultimately.

Yes, I do think many of the original Punk bands had shed loads of integrity. It was, at least at the start, predominantly left wing, DIY, egalitarian, non conformist, proactive, agit prop, idealistic (the nihilism was maybe a US poison d'art?) Your post merely confirms a prejudice that confuses what we like with being something that is demonstrably good. (I'm guilty of this also, in every single review I've ever written, we all are from time to time) e.g..I like music X so it is too good to be called Punk because I don't like Punk and no music that I think is good could possibly be Punk so people who call it Punk are wrong. No-one can ever lose that argument as the goalposts are on wheels...Yes, I accept that every fly by night rock sensation has its share of poseurs and phoneys certainly (this High Street version of Punk that scandalised leafy suburbia was the one engineered by Malcolm Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood et al and has everything to do with the profiteering of ephemeral fashion and nothing whatsoever to do with a credible social revolution that remained strenuously underground before dissipating) My formative secondary school years were particularly fraught as I was the only critter who liked ELP/Genesis and the Clash/the Fall in equal measure, so was hated by both Hippies and Punks as being a sell out I know I keep banging on about market branding but this is when the engineered brand loyalties foisted upon tribes of consumers first manifest itself in my book. The biggest tragedy about Punk was that by the time it was assimilated into the mainstream, everyone looked absolutely the same, it was just another youth uniform etc Edited by ExittheLemming - April 22 2014 at 04:19 |

labels eh? I'm not actually as narrow minded as I sound (to be fair you made no accusation of this kind so thanks for that) but just very cynical. Not a good character trate but one I will take with me to my grave. Interesting comments and I did honestly like The Sex Pistols for one fleeting moment and can remember even defending them to my Dad

Animals seemed to me for a long time to be a somewhat lacklustre album, but it was (at least for me) a bit of slow burner. Sure it doesn't have the charisma of Darkside or Wish you were here - but it is a much more rewarding album than, dare I say it, The Wall..........

I don't think Animals is overrated at all. It is underrated if anything. I much prefer it to either The Wall or Wish You Were Here.

Of course I like just about all of the Floyd stuff, but Animals is up there near the top for me.
