What are you listening to tonight.

[Donegal john]

I thought you were an Erasure man.
White Levi's, bomber jacket and flat top

Know what my favourite erasure song is ?
I love to hate you

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

At the risk of having no street cred whatsoever, I have to admit I love Erasure

I like to think I'm diverse!

It will be the pet shop boys next

Aw ya meanie! I like all 80’s stuff I’m sad!

 

[Clint]

I dunno what it is but that Pet Shop song about the West End sums up the 80's..I wasn't a fan but when I hear it I'm right back there. Looking mighty fine with my Stray Cats hairdo and crepe soled shoes. Hell yeah!

If me and my wife are sitting watching the music channels it’s a fight between me putting on the rock channels and her switching to the 80’s ones. I don’t mind some of it but I can only do it for a short time.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Bless ya! We're ok that way because we both like the same channels eg scuzz, kerrang etc. He will walk out though if I put absolute 80's on!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

We tend to like the 'Country Rocks' channel on DAB as well. It's more modern rockier country and much more pleasant to listen to! We LOVE Luke Bryan!

Edit: no I'm wrong it's on internet radio not DAB!

2 words that should never be used together are country and rock.
Please.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

We will agree to differ on that one!

Perhaps if you have a butcher's at Carrie Underwood you might change your mind

You don't like kid rock then

I thought that I agreed with you until I remembered I have Copperhead Road on CD by Steve Earle, must play that again sometime.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I do think it's difficult sometimes putting music into a specific genre isn't it? You tend to go by individual songs and could wrongly dismiss something just because you think you don't like it.

Or Lynyrd Skynyrd perhaps?

I’ve never heard of the radio station she mentioned (and I don’t like that Luke Bryan bloke or Carrie Underwood), but the alt-country scene is very good. The best bands and artists have the same political outlook as most of the punk stuff I listen to so I find them similar lyrically.

Drive-by Truckers and Jason Isbell in particular have a lot of crossover appeal into the alternative and rock scenes. Even Chris Shifflet (who is the Foo Fighters lead guitarist and used to be in the punk band No Use For A Name) has released 2 alt-country records.

 

[Donegal john]

Perhaps I should listen to it and decide but I know I won’t.
@samale i was a proper rocker back in the day not into glam rock (never understood why they had to look like girls) and I strayed into crossover punk bands like DRI and industrial metal.

Suicidal Tendencies are my favourite of the so-called “crossover” bands.

There's nothing wrong with liking what we all like! The world would be a boring place if we were all the same!
