    On Pearl Jam, like them, but never listened to anything but their first 3 albums.

    Nirvana is overrated. I’d switch them off after a song probably. There best song is a cover of a David Bowie song.

    I hate bands who say they hate ‘commercial’ music as they’re playing concerts to try and flog their albums to you.

    Vegemite > Marmite.

    @Snowy isn't actually a serial killer.

    I could go on and on.

    I disagree on all 3.

    I've started an absolute shitfight eh.

    I’d only fight you on the first one though, the other 2 I’m happy to agree to disagree.

    @voodoo

    It's a risk/reward decisions really though ain't it?

    what about some REAL jeopardy:

    10 Point try for a successful intercept try ( no passing allowed)

    But

    Red card for a knock on while trying the intercept

    😃

    i like the really simple "Classic Albums" ones actually. Just musicians and normally the producer talking about how the sound of an album comes about.

    Those are great.

    I watched The Kink's The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society a few weeks back. Really enjoyable. Depending on your definition, Ray Davies might have written the first heavy metal song back in 1964.

    Of the Seattle big 4 bands, I'd take AIC over the other three.

    Or Dave Davies guitar did.

    Soundgarden > AIC > Nirvana > Pearl Jam for me.....

    Stone Temple Pilots are equal with Soundgarden but I only recently found out they started in San Diego despite how they sound

    @MN5 usually a band name is just a band name and you don't even think about it, but every so often I look at it and start to wonder.

    I mean, how the fuck did they come up with STP? And what is Pearl Jam anyway?

    They still rock. That’s all I think about. The new singer is such a worthy replacement. Strange name now you mention it though.....

    As for the latter ummmm Pearl is a brand of drums so who knows.

    Which brings up another one - how often does a barge pole get used for touching anything other than a river/canal bed?

    Think of something pearl coloured and of a jammy consistency and you might be on track 😉

    Another music thread then...

    I miss BSG, I like the eccentric ranty folk.

    I hate sauce on eggs, in fact I hate anything touching my eggs,occasionally a dipping soldier but nowt else.

    Why don't the lurkers on the fern join in? There are a few who will occasionally like posts but have never posted. All the fun is in joining in!

    Some people prefer just looking in the asylum windows rather than risking the straitjacket

    I like Kaitaia Fire, Huffmans or Tabasco.

    So many options, what a time to be alive

    Exactly what I'm talking about, the usual culprit is beans, if I'm ever having a full English and some just spoons them on, so rude, they should be served in a little side bowl...

    Hey there's gotta be somewhere for people to try and post the most obscure musician they can think of as the most talented of all time.

    @R-L said in The hot takes and unpopular opinions:

    Yes! If it's a fry up I have to make sure the eggs (on toast) are kept away from any sauce and only mix with the bacon. Although a bacon & egg sammy can't be without t sauce or steakhouse sauce. Plus...hollandaise....yummmm...

    I lurked for a while before posting, it was pretty daunting back then to decide to come on and post my shitty opinions. I just came to get the team sheets and read some learned rugby writings.
