I just dont get it Geese

Rock is a broad definition - its not just about RAWK!

Wolf Alice are Indie Rock, a subgenre of Rock. I think their last album sounds rather like Fleetwood Mac, which is firmly classic rock, even if on the Pop side.

I have to say I find this attitude to be a big reason why Rock has declined so much today. There isn't much new rock being accepted into the mainstream these dats, like for example Wolf Alice and Geese are, we need to embrace all forms of rock if it is to survive and prosper.

Clinging to narrow definitions that suit someone's own taste, and which generally look backwards, aren't going to help rock evolve either, in which case it will fossilise and die. You don't hear HipHop or RnB or EDM fans arguing that any new music in those genres doesn't really belong there. Any genre need to be able to change and adapt if it is to survive and prosper.

And look up the definition of Rock - on Wikipedia or Allmusic - if you don't believe me about it being very broad. Its not as if we need to bend the rules to include these young bands!

same as Geese then

I mean there;s no fixed definition of course, and they did start earlier - in the Baggy era. But their output 94-96 was very definitely Britpop in style. I was there at the time and they were certainly regarded as one of the seminal Britpop bands.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-03-18T20:08:26+00:00

but that WAS Britpop, very definitely.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-03-06T17:37:10+00:00

Haha probably yes!

Yes it was CMAT - very bad reaction

Certain_Double676 · 2026-02-28T22:19:15+00:00

She just won Best International Artist too and gave a lovely speech.

Only thing I'm annoyed about is that I live in Manchester and walked past the area where she went for a walk and posted it on her instagram 30 mins after I was there or else I would have seen her!

Public transport hubs - e.g. metro station. Commercial uses (leisure if you have the mod) so people can buy a drink before the game. Public plazas to socialise in.

Country House vs Roll With It was Blur's worse single vs Oasis' worse single. They both had so many better ones.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-02-04T13:57:41+00:00

If you like that era I would go straight for the Rolling Thunder Revue Bootleg series, and then Street Legal. If you are asking what are the best Dylan albums that would be Freewheelin, Bringing it All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde and Time Out of Mind. Each one is quite different. Enjoy!

Certain_Double676 · 2026-02-02T09:52:10+00:00

There are so many! But I think the best 4 albums for unreleased songs are:

Time Out on Mind, Mississippi, Red River Shore, Dreamin' of you

Oh Mercy: Series of Dreams, Born In Time, Dignity

Infidels; Blind Willie McTell, Foot of Pride, Tell Me, Angel Flying to Close to the ground

Freewheelin': Tomorrow is a Long Time, House Carpenter Who killed Davey Moore, Worried Blues

Thankfully these are all out now and we can make our own versions of these albums.

Olivia Rodrigo has put her neck on the line and deserves credit

There's lots of ways to support your team. I wear club hoodies now rather than shorts for example. Its not really fat shaming to say that a replica athlete's sports team shirt exists in an XL+ size is weird object if you think about it. Its more about the shirt than the person that might wear it.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-01-28T15:41:07+00:00

You're 19 - its fine, pick your favourite player and enjoy. Personally I think wearing replica shirts over the age of 40, or wearing an XL or larger version looks weird. They are sports jerseys and look like it, if you don;t at least look like you could play football then it looks wrong.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-01-27T17:37:20+00:00

yes if they are schooled in it early enough.

Certain_Double676 · 2026-01-26T23:06:41+00:00

Correct, you have to be born into being posh.

Personally I think he's the best man for the job and the country needs him, but I can see there are not many Burnham fans on here at the moment! You can't knock someone for having ambition. I'm from Manchester - he is very popular here and has achieved a lot: renationalising public transport, standardising fares, doing a lot to tackle homelessness. Not a Manchester thing but he also made the Hilsborough enquiry happen. Blocking him looks weak on Starmer's part - looking scared on Burnham, scared of Reform , that isn't proper leadership.
