Bands you don't "get".

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Bands you don't "get".

Post by Andy Waller » Wed Aug 21, 2013 1:13 pm

Just had the radio on at work and they're raving about Pink Floyd.

I've never seen the appeal in them and found their music a bit dreary. (Although I could probably see the appeal if you were smashed of your knackers)

Is this just me or can anyone change my mind??

Are there any other bands you can't see the appeal of?

Best just to ignore bands/artists you don't like and concentrate on those you do. No such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" type of music. At family events I realise and accept I'm a total musical alien. :wink:

How coincidental that Springsteen, the E-Street Band and the Sessions Band are music I really like. :wink:

I think I'd probably be in agreement for that one - just a hunch.

Is he related to Tynchy Stryder or Tinie Tempah or Tempah T?
