I think the Forum may have just died so RIP TWF.

Was fun whilst it lasted, despite all the experts and Paddy's taste in "music"

 

[Tom Hark]

Yeah, can someone famous please die so we can get back on topic?

Joe Jackson (no, the other one) went a few days back. Looked even worse than his son by the end. No great loss.

 

[Langers]

That'll do - he's famous. Cheers, Tom.

And RIP, Joe obvs.

This thread Agree with Paddy though, music is very much personal and should not be a competition, each have their own taste

Based on personal anecdotes by rock journalists Mick Wall and Joel McIver, there is obviously a lot of tales of debauchery and excess, which I guess is why a lot of people will listen but also genuine warmth and a balanced view of the subjects.
