    Oi! I'll have none of that, if you don't mind. That there's fighting talk.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    At first I couldn't think of any bands outside the ones people have already dropped...

    ABBA
    U2
    AC/DC - Man I loved them with Bon Scott, they had a totally different sound from the Johnson years. Back in Black is the only Brian Johnson album worth mentioning (fantastic album though).
    INXS
    Rush
    Scorpions

    But then some more names hit me... nothing great but they're worth noting in that they either made a huge, brief splash or had a few hits throughout their career...

    Thin Lizzy - I knew they were foreign but never sure where from, turns out they're from Ireland!
    Men at Work - Australia
    Accept - Germany - How can you forget Udo Dirkschneider... Get your b-lls to the wall!
    Loudness - Japan - Kabuki theater meets KISS at a metal concert
    "Why spoil the beauty of the thing with legality?" - Theodore Roosevelt

    Idealism is masturbation, but unlike real masturbation idealism actually makes one blind. - Fragony

    Though Adrian did a brilliant job of defending the great man that is Hugo Chavez, I decided to post this anyway.. - JAG (who else?)

    Yeah, so is the Police. From the index page, the "England" part of the title is cut off so I missed it
