Also, what the hell was the point of the Bowie tribute?
He's not dead and couldn't be bothered to show!

Why not give Robert Plant his own 10 picture moment?
What about Eric Clapton?

That made zero sense to eulogize a living man...

I am still mildly curious... and ask again... I wonder why they gave Bowie such a nice segment, but did not give The Rolling Stones so much as a whisper.

I am only mildly curious at this point, it is not a big deal.

Bowie is and has been every bit as big in the UK as the Stones. He's probably the most important and iconic British act since the 60s.

Watching bits of it again, its sort of dawning on me a bit more that a lot of us are missing the 'context' a bit. Naturally, if you were including great and iconic British acts, the Stones would be in the top tier of music to be represented - but if you're showcasing 'Britishness' in music - maybe less so. The Stones' music isn't really typically British in the way that The Beatles, Bowie, The Who or The Kinks would be.

'Waterloo Sunset' was the absolute perfect choice for an occasion like this. Its probably THE definitive London pop song. The Stones don't really have a song that could be pigeonholed into that category ('Street Fighting Man' maybe - at an absolute push....but its not anywhere near their most iconic song). Neither do Led Zeppelin for that matter.

Excellent use of the quoting thingy. I need to learn that.
I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the answer though.
If Bowie can't be bothered to be there, just be happy you got Take That to show up...

They belonged there whether you or I like them or not, as theyre a hugely successful act from the 90s onwards. The event was supposed to showcase different eras and genres of musical history, not be merely a 60s/70s 'rock' timewarp - seriously, how hard is this concept to grasp for some people?

The concept? Not hard to grasp...just not well thought out.
The excellent quoting work by Max. That's hard to grasp. Take That.

Munich, you're showing an ability to think in only, One Direction.

I knew your Beady Eye was lurking

oh yeah, who are you?!

I'm the 6th spice girl...Drunk Spice.
They never let me perform with them...ever. I hate them for that.

I heard StonesTod's joining them for a Fall tour, and he'll be known as Old Spice.

Why didn't I think of that. Thats why they don't want me. They have him

It was going to be 'Acerbic Spice' but they thought most of the audience wouldn't know what that meant, so they went with the obvious.

I have nothing more to add, but I thought I would keep the thread moving towards the record...

Although I have to say that these embedded quotes when you scroll down in the browser, the longer they get the more they have the look of one of those geometric poems of Dylan Thomas on the page. The more they go on, the more they have the look of high art....or something.

I have nothing more to add, but I thought I would keep the thread moving towards the record...
Did it, now let that be the end of it.

Although I have to say that these embedded quotes when you scroll down in the browser, the longer they get the more they have the look of one of those geometric poems of Dylan Thomas on the page. The more they go on, the more they have the look of high art....or something.

Also, what the hell was the point of the Bowie tribute?
He's not dead and couldn't be bothered to show!

Why not give Robert Plant his own 10 picture moment?
What about Eric Clapton?

That made zero sense to eulogize a living man...

I am still mildly curious... and ask again... I wonder why they gave Bowie such a nice segment, but did not give The Rolling Stones so much as a whisper.

I am only mildly curious at this point, it is not a big deal.

Bowie is and has been every bit as big in the UK as the Stones. He's probably the most important and iconic British act since the 60s.

Watching bits of it again, its sort of dawning on me a bit more that a lot of us are missing the 'context' a bit. Naturally, if you were including great and iconic British acts, the Stones would be in the top tier of music to be represented - but if you're showcasing 'Britishness' in music - maybe less so. The Stones' music isn't really typically British in the way that The Beatles, Bowie, The Who or The Kinks would be.

'Waterloo Sunset' was the absolute perfect choice for an occasion like this. Its probably THE definitive London pop song. The Stones don't really have a song that could be pigeonholed into that category ('Street Fighting Man' maybe - at an absolute push....but its not anywhere near their most iconic song). Neither do Led Zeppelin for that matter.

Excellent use of the quoting thingy. I need to learn that.
I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the answer though.
If Bowie can't be bothered to be there, just be happy you got Take That to show up...

They belonged there whether you or I like them or not, as theyre a hugely successful act from the 90s onwards. The event was supposed to showcase different eras and genres of musical history, not be merely a 60s/70s 'rock' timewarp - seriously, how hard is this concept to grasp for some people?

The concept? Not hard to grasp...just not well thought out.
The excellent quoting work by Max. That's hard to grasp. Take That.

Munich, you're showing an ability to think in only, One Direction.

I knew your Beady Eye was lurking

oh yeah, who are you?!

I'm the 6th spice girl...Drunk Spice.
They never let me perform with them...ever. I hate them for that.

I heard StonesTod's joining them for a Fall tour, and he'll be known as Old Spice.

Also, what the hell was the point of the Bowie tribute?
He's not dead and couldn't be bothered to show!

Why not give Robert Plant his own 10 picture moment?
What about Eric Clapton?

That made zero sense to eulogize a living man...

I am still mildly curious... and ask again... I wonder why they gave Bowie such a nice segment, but did not give The Rolling Stones so much as a whisper.

I am only mildly curious at this point, it is not a big deal.

Bowie is and has been every bit as big in the UK as the Stones. He's probably the most important and iconic British act since the 60s.

Watching bits of it again, its sort of dawning on me a bit more that a lot of us are missing the 'context' a bit. Naturally, if you were including great and iconic British acts, the Stones would be in the top tier of music to be represented - but if you're showcasing 'Britishness' in music - maybe less so. The Stones' music isn't really typically British in the way that The Beatles, Bowie, The Who or The Kinks would be.

'Waterloo Sunset' was the absolute perfect choice for an occasion like this. Its probably THE definitive London pop song. The Stones don't really have a song that could be pigeonholed into that category ('Street Fighting Man' maybe - at an absolute push....but its not anywhere near their most iconic song). Neither do Led Zeppelin for that matter.

Excellent use of the quoting thingy. I need to learn that.
I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the answer though.
If Bowie can't be bothered to be there, just be happy you got Take That to show up...

They belonged there whether you or I like them or not, as theyre a hugely successful act from the 90s onwards. The event was supposed to showcase different eras and genres of musical history, not be merely a 60s/70s 'rock' timewarp - seriously, how hard is this concept to grasp for some people?

The concept? Not hard to grasp...just not well thought out.
The excellent quoting work by Max. That's hard to grasp. Take That.

Munich, you're showing an ability to think in only, One Direction.

I knew your Beady Eye was lurking

oh yeah, who are you?!

I'm the 6th spice girl...Drunk Spice.
They never let me perform with them...ever. I hate them for that.

I heard StonesTod's joining them for a Fall tour, and he'll be known as Old Spice.

Why didn't I think of that. Thats why they don't want me. They have him

It was going to be 'Acerbic Spice' but they thought most of the audience wouldn't know what that meant, so they went with the obvious.

I have nothing more to add, but I thought I would keep the thread moving towards the record...
Did it, now let that be the end of it.
Although I have to say that these embedded quotes when you scroll down in the browser, the longer they get the more they have the look of one of those geometric poems of Dylan Thomas on the page. The more they go on, the more they have the look of high art....or something.

She's lookin' real purdy Vern!
I'm not ready!!!
There's no way out of here When you come in You're in for good There was no promise made The part you played The chance you took There's no way out of here When you come in You're in for good
Can I have a biscuit?

I was just going to post a comment about these super-highly embedded quotes posts having the geometric appearance of one of those Dylan Thomas poems, but I realize I just posted above about that... a few beers ago.

I hadn't realized Danny Thomas wrote poems. Make Room For Daddy indeed!
I was going to post that these super-duper-highly-overly embedded quotes posts having the geometric sequential appearance of one of those Marlo Thomas poems but then I realized that someone else posted something juts like that above about that and above all else is... That Girl.

Martin Luther King's gonna come in here and shut this thing down ya'll.
He might dream about doing that, ya'll
You lot, get out my living room.
I think at this point Etch A Sketch comes to mind, or maybe even Spirograph.
?
Impressive.
