In poor taste?

[goat major]

Well I can't really summon an interest in footie hooligans but once someone does some decent mods and rockers then I'm in for a Brighton Beach 1964 scenario. VBCW round 2

Agreed, those Mods deserve a good kicking just for the silly scooters, not to mention those bloody parkas

The point where taste becomes debatable, imho, is when a majority of people disagrees with certain types of actions. You would agree that playing an army of KZ guards vs inmates is as tasteless as it can get on top of my head. If you were correct this would simply be another "taste" but I believe there is a limit to "taste" although it is sometimes difficult to articulate.

While i understand what you are saying, i still think you can't discuss taste.

An example:

In some countries being gay is treated like a disease (yes in these days it still happens), so a majority of people disagree with it. So should that particular taste of sexuality become debatable? (don't get me wrong, i have no problem with holebi 's at all, like in a "to each his own" kinda way  )

Everyone has a different vieuw on things, we can never change that. We can express our opinion about something, and we can dislike something, but we can't change the way other people feel about the same subject.

And that's what i mean with "to each his own"

Again, I do agree to a great extent. I have been playing footy with a gay dude, sold them houses and have gay friends. As long as they do not ask me to join them I am cool with it. This is what I mean with limits to freedom and taste.

Oppinions and taste should be separate. My oppinion may be tasteless (in some cases it is actually.) Refer to my example above and "taste" does become a common oppinion. You would surely not promote certain types of behaviour, would you?

[petercooman]

No i wouldn't, but playing wargames with football hooligans promotes as much bad behaviour as playing other wargames in my opinion.

Nobody decides to overthrow a nation after a game, and nobody decides to smash the other sides face(s).

Well we can think about it, but we don't do it

My dad was there, said it was great (and he's not a violent person, just an old rocker)!

Great idea!

Classic beachfront skirmish.  For rules you could use Legends of the Old West Quadrophenia.

At least Mods washed and their taste in music was far better

It seems the bitter divisions of that conflict still run deep in the British psyche!

The Mods:
Small Faces, The Kinks, The Who, Yardbirds, The Animals, The Nashville Teens, The Pretty Things, The Spencer Davis Group, The Move, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, etc…

The Rockers:
Start with the likes of Eddie Cochrane, Johnny Kid & The Pirates, Them, before merging into Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, Argent and throw in a few surprises including the outrageous Sensational Alex Harvey Band! I know which side I'm on!

[Techno]

Hah !!!

Well, I like most of the lot that you've mentioned Will.....and still do.

Though I could pick out some in both sections that I wouldn't miss if they'd never ever produced anything.
I'd have to say from a completely personal point of view, I'd rip some of the 'mod' groups out of their section and put them in with the rockers.

All down to personal preferences, I guess. (Are you going to the Boston tea party ?.....And you know Argent ? Blloomin' heck...I imagined I'd be the only one from the forum that would know them....Go on...make me feel old....tell me it was your Dad's old vinyl album that you used to listen to. ))
Cheers - Phil.

If you insist Phil,
I discovered two things in my dad's flat when I was 14, one was a large selection of high class p*rn, which we both threw out shortly after, as it was a bit tame and much more fun in real life!
The other discovery was his collection of vinyl greats:
[/list]First pressings of nearly all the early Rolling Stones, including Sticky Fingers (with zip) and Some Girls with interchangable faces, At His Sataanic Majesties Request
Beatles including Help, Sergeant Pepper.
The complete Pink Floyd to Dark Side (heavily into this by the time I was 15).
Led Zep IV on PINK vinyl, Physical Graffitti in original slip (where you could change the rooms), now worth a fortune.
Hendrix.
Fleetwood Mac and all their solo albums from the 70s and 80s
Doors originals.
Rod Stewart albums, including one shaped like a whiskey glass (SIng it Again Rod)!
Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band Bestiality.
Lots of Mamas& the Papas, plus Mama Cass.
Joni Mitchell
Joplin (both Scott and Jannis).
Jefferson Airplane 'Surrealistic Pilau' and solo Grace Slick.
Oh and lots and lots of Dylan!

Recognise any of that Phil!

That list sounds like a musical equivalent of a stack of tacky magazines anyway.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

So what would be on your list FK? 
Let's do this in a new thread before it turns into a complete hyjack!

Saw the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band live in a pub in Fulham Broadway back in the late sixties. They were an absolute riot. Not what you'd call hard rock, though...
