Tell me this isn't a great pop song WonderingWhy.

I love Joy Division but I'd far rather listen to New Order.

I like Steely Dan, Prefab Sprout and XTC.

I also love other non-girl bands/musos - like Gong, Frank Zappa, The Doors etc.

Deffo don;t like prog rock, because it's usually a load of pretentious wank.

I have an anal, blokish, geeky approach to music.

SheikYerbouti · 06/06/2008 12:54

DP liike alods of bland 90s bands, like The Wonderstuff and Dodgy. They are not really birds bands.

WonderingWhy · 06/06/2008 12:55

It's not a great song, Dadada!

Stop it though as you are making me sing along very unwillingly.

To continue my offensive generalisations, I'd muse that the majority of women don't like pompous music that takes itself far too seriously and prizes 'musicianship' over good melodic and lyrical content.

Turgid is very descriptive.

I have an ex who only thought music was technically any good if it was guitar riffs played at 756mph. Yngwie Malmsteen or whatever his name is. Now that is utter wank.

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 12:59

Agreed.

IMO most blues music is a bit of a man's thing. I think it's a bit like man flu: poor old me - my woman done left me, nobody's got it worse than me, yadda yadda yadda. Oh cheer up you miserable git.

I like Prefab Sprout though. And I kind of admire Kraftwerk.

DaDaDa · 06/06/2008 13:00

You should have run for the hills at the first sight of an Yngwie Malmsteen album to be fair.

Why do only men with beards like some bands?

There was another geezer who kept trying to pull me, years ago. He has a fricking beard.
He was the type with mad shining eyes and limited friends.
He would invite you round then purposely be 'still getting his trousers on' when you knocked on the door.
Noooooooooooooooooooo

He liked didgeridoo music.

TigerFeet · 06/06/2008 13:01

I went home and soothed myself with Echoes

SheikYerbouti · 06/06/2008 13:02
