After last weeks modest success discussing the relative merits of "Beatles vs Oasis" I thought we would have another bash at a rumbuctuous debate full of "poking and ribbery" (I made that up but I like the sound of it - I think it should be word).

I did promise Alex we could discuss the merits of Radiohead but, after careful consideration, I decided to fill in for all the oldies and end the argument by concluding they are

       "Enigmatic, Somber, Reflective, Intense, Plaintive, Wistful, Bittersweet, Paranoid, Gloomy, Wintry, Poignant, Aggressive, Theatrical, Eerie, Earnest, Melancholy, Angst-Ridden, Brooding."

and leave Alex to defend their merits😂.

For the rest of us I thought we could maybe debate the relative importance of English versus American popular music.

Hopefully there are enough online to promote a lively and informative debate😉

Right! Just before you start, a couple of things I'd like to say.
Firstly, I have every intention of being pleasant to you this evening (just)
Secondly, I will try my upmost not to mention my ****** ***** 7000 ******
Thirdly, What's happened to Piercepd? Do you think he is really Paul Potts? Or is he in a huff coz we had a go at his purple font?
Now then, What's tonight's debate about again?

Slightly off topic (What topic?) but can I just run this by you, you being such an intelligent and knowledgeable chap?
If I could run faster than the speed of light and I were to take a photo' of Pendle Hill then run as quick as I could and stand on Pendle, posing,would I be on the photo'?

Ok, to start off, one of the biggest bands around at the moment are The Killers. I loved the first album (havnt realy got into the second). American band from Las Vegas. So you may think im on the Americans side of the debate......well no, anyone heard of an English band that went by the name of Shed Seven? they were quite popular in England at one time but never made it realy big. The Killers sound just like Shed Seven and admit to being influensed by Shed Seven and The Smiths. This is just one example.

 British popular music is the most influentual music in the world.

Sorry mate, you're way off. It wouln't depend on any of those factors.
Think about where the light that entered the lens came from and when.
