The moronic reference is a little unfair and I only used it because it jumped out of metronomic.

How about simple, unfussy or basic?


I think the music press gave them a brief nod of approval around the time of "Rain" but they were never cool. It is a long time a go but I seem to remember the Sabs having the same problem i.e. the idea that their music was for idiots and hooligans where the Sutherland Brothers or Deaf School or Sadista Sisters were apparently the bees knees and the dogs wotsits of sophistication.

There was IIRC a cross section of kids for whom Quo, SAHB, Rory Gallagher and the Sabs were somehow connected on a rock with no frills level. Thin Lizzy would have joined that later on. That may have just been a London thing or maybe that's just the graffiti on the back of someone's denim waistcoat I am remembering!

What next, the long awaited Steve Gibbons v George Hatcher thread perhaps? ;-)
