Hmmm.
I like all of those except Marillion.
But no one really likes Marillion do they?
PS I am a woman
PPS But I know my tasts may not be representative of my entire sex

I liked Marillion for a bit. Still love Incommunicado.

I love Steely Dan - does that make me a bloke?

peasholme · 06/06/2008 12:09

ooops

You say Marillion and all I think is "do you remember..." and that little fake emotional break in his voice. (in my defence)

ShowOfHands · 06/06/2008 12:10

Yes Steely Dan good. I'm not a man.

peasholme · 06/06/2008 12:12

anyone else for xtc? I recently got a 4cd box set of B sides and rarities and it's top notch...a move which I know would be considered very blokey to some...

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 12:12

The only acceptable Marillion song is Garden Party. Fact. [I'm feeling bolshy today ]

yes probasbly

zippi takes opportunity to mention her excitng i saw kraftwerk in 1973 or thereabouts on there first tour and was one of only six people there

we just went in to the venue which was quite large to drink cider and grope

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 12:17

Getting off to Kraftwerk. Kinky.

Did you pretend to be robots?

LazyLinePainterJane · 06/06/2008 12:17

I like Kraftwerk.

Surely no tasteful people women like Status Quo?

Hassled · 06/06/2008 12:17

I love Prefab Sprout and XTC. Am with you on the prog rock - it's all just so teenage boy.

What I loathe is all the existential angst crap - culprits include Radiohead, The Wedding Present etc. I want to tell them to just cheer up and go have some fun somewhere.

zippitippitoes · 06/06/2008 12:19

i also of course saw status quo at the same place lol same year

zippitippitoes · 06/06/2008 12:19

and genesis twice

peasholme · 06/06/2008 12:19

Zippi
Bowled over with envy re. your Kraftwerk encounter.

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 12:20

Early Weddoes is loaaaads of fun. But very teenage boys jumping on each other, yes.

MegBusset · 06/06/2008 12:20

I love Kraftwerk. Not Marillion, though

MegBusset · 06/06/2008 12:21

Red Hot Chili Peppers always seemed a blokes' kind of band.

MrsJamin · 06/06/2008 12:21

At The Drive In
Coheed and Cambria
Deftones
(I'd be v surprised if any women liked these)

MegBusset · 06/06/2008 12:22

Mrs Jamin I love all of those bands! Esp. ATDI

zippitippitoes · 06/06/2008 12:22

i didnt like them when they did autobahn and i have never liked them since

i did like man

a band you never hear of

genesis shows were good

hated emerson lake and palmer and santana

i like lyrics

i do like my chemical romance nrivana

ByTheSea · 06/06/2008 12:24

I love Steely Dan and have seen them in concert a couple of tmes.

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 12:25

Quo is a good shout. I think most women have more sense.

I think most people like RHCP. They leave me cold. All that bass slapping and stripping off; put it away for god sake. Crap lyrics too.

OP posts:
zippitippitoes · 06/06/2008 12:28

who is rhcp

zippitippitoes · 06/06/2008 12:29

in 1973 you could only see quo ironically

i would not have dreamt the oportunity would still be there to see them now lol
