Friggin' Brits, you haven't produced any top artists since Oasis' second record, and you are the ones, after all, who export all of these ridiculous pop-star television shows to us. Bad Britain. Sophisticated American consumer judges you!

Re: Containing Them (4.00 / 3)

You've got no taste, we Brits havent produced any good music since way before Oasis ;-)

Aw, come on. What's the Story was a great record. But, okay, how about Zeppelin IV?

yes, but since then I'd probably throw in London Calling by the Clash, Unknown pleasures by Joy Division, One Step Beyond by Madness, New Boots and Panties by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Fat of the Land by the prodigy, specials,by the specials, and OK computer (although I have been prefering the dub reimagining rather than the radiohead version)

Of the ones on there I've heard, good picks. I quite agree.

I've certainly not heard anything from them in a solid decade that was worth the time. But, again, What's the Story was a big favorite of mine when I was younger. And it made for a good time when trying to figure out songs my buddy and I both knew how to play when I was in Britain.

Oasis Lyrics!

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Okay...okay.

You have to watch the intro to this and then the song is at -3:35

Do you hate America, or just freedom in general?

Re: Containing Them (4.00 / 3)

I'm European, of course I hate freedom in general, it's part of my being a goddless communist. (that and knowing that baseball is really a girls game)

Okay, now, as a Southerner, the Baseball as Girls Game stab is fine by me. It's a sport for those fairies up in the Union.

In fact, why don't you Godless commies play it like your Yankee cousins?

Well most of your sports it's like health and safety gone mad. All that padding and helmets and having to stop every few seconds for a rest to play a game that's even vaguely like rugby. Although I suppose that your youth are now learning to play proper football and finaly joining in proper world competitions.

Well, yes, but our people are twice the size of your people. What's a typical rugby player weigh -- maybe 180? We've got field goal kickers larger than your rugby players.

And of course we need breaks. Do you know how difficult it is to run after eating half a dozen Big Macs every day for twenty years?

And it's obviously a sport that teaches the ethics of an intensely class ridden society, after all every player has to know his place.

Class and race with a lot of Rome sprinkled in. Could be worse: the rural types watch cars drive in circles for five hours.
