Quote: The Angry Pirate "Going to sound old here, but just as an aside....As music ever been in such a bad state?? From mainstream Radio 1-type fare, right through to the so called alternative, there seems to be so little originality out there....I don't think I have ever had a year where I have bought so little music. I think the problem with the mainstream scene comes from 2 sources - X Factor and downloading. Music is now TOO easily accessable....The charts are just choc-a-block with absolute rubbish, put there by kids buying cheap downloads....Also X Factor is now bizarrely seen by many as a credible brand....Absolutely shocking acts like JLS & Leona Lewis are seen as being 'good'. As for the alternative scene?...Yes, there are some decent bands around, but all seem to be stuck in a rut, believing that 2 guitars and a drum kit equates to good music. We are desparately in need of a Punk-style revolution to re-ignite the music business....unfortunately, in these depressing times, there seems to be little outlet for this revolt to be heard, because the media in general is in such a conservative state.... www.rykersear.com A new rock band with genuine Warrington roots.

your right there pal great band. what about stereophonics?

florence and the machine - you got the love.

the best of the sixties compilation album has just had an airing whilst i've been playing darts,24 hours from tulsa tastic!

punk rock may have been 30+ years ago, but there are more punk bands touring now than there ever was in 1977.

punk rock.... it's the future!

Just had a look at ANL doing 'So What' open Youtube from '82. A lovely little song.

I wasn't born in 1977 and wholeheartedly agree with that.
