Yep. Once upon a fairly recent time you couldn't mention the utter brilliance of The Beatles in 'cool' company. It was all sniffy. How things change. To write off any genre completely is just plain daft. Classical ? Ravels Piano Concerto In G Major Second Movement, followed by Carl Orff's Neptune The Mystic for starters. Mozart's Requiem is one of the most beautiful things ever created.


... and wasn't it The Beatles that got Matlock fired from the Pistols in favour of that noted wit and musical genius Sid Vicious?

And twenty four or twenty five years ago no-one who had a hang-up about being hip liked metal. It was only the Beasties and Tone-Loc and Run DMC that reopened the road to Led Zep. Well before the grunge hairies got in on the act.

Then again I haven't got a lot of time for Mojo-Man's blind worship of Dylan, Lennon, Keef, Wilson etc etc either.

It's all a closed-circuit. Like the worst (and best) aspects being a football fan though at least that has narrative and outcomes and the whole win-lose thing. There is no win-lose in music. It's just a brilliant ride that can take you everywhere and anywhere.
