Given that there's usually a bit of flash to be gouged out between horses' legs etc, why has nobody chosen Beautiful Reamer as a top song? Or, indeed, Flashdance?

This just gets worse - for gods sake BAR this man - for his puns and demands for esoteric ranges.

THis explains the appeal of Country and Western

Country and Western should have never been allowed to appeal, it should have just accepted its original sentence and not ever, ever be allowed to be heard...by anybody...ever.

In defence of country & western:

Lucky even to get a trial. A rope over a convenient branch and a horse without a saddle would seem about right, don't you think?

And rock should be crushed into gravel and used to surface roads (not in desirable residential areas, you understand).

I'm with you on the rope idea. The worst sound ever is slide guitar music. Paris Texas was -in my personal opinion- a cr*p film made infinitely cra**ier by Ry Cooder's slide guitar soundtrack.

But I take issue with you over rock. Waaaay back in the day, before Stock, Aitkin and Waterman et al there was real music...and it was called rock. Deep Purple, ELP, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth and most of their derivatives were all brilliant bands. Glam rock was also great (my period of music) but then some tw*t(s) thought that Soul, Disco, R&B and Punk were good ideas (someone else who should hang by the same C&W rope). Rock music is still going strong with an even bigger following than before -AC/DC and Iron Maiden are still pulling in the crowds wherever they go. This smaltzy, girly, pretentious stuff nowadays is drivel of the first order (bit like UB 40). Rock music has evolved and left most of the other types in its wake.

This is from a man who thinks Beethoven is the dogs, enjoys English Folk music, loves the Goons, the Bonzo's, Python and even the Goodies...and of course ROCK MUSIC! Categorise that!
