I made the last part of the title up but Noel might as well have called his list that. It’s a brilliant top list of bands, but there are some glaring omissions, which makes me wonder how Noel can describe it as “THE DEFINITIVE Top 10″. In your opinion Noel, in your opinion.
Noel and his […]

I love and hate John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten in equal measures. Yes, he’s over the hill and should have stopped ranting on stage as lead singer of the Sex Pistols a long time ago. And yes, he only says things to cause controversy and buy himself and his band some cheap publicity. But he […]

These days, the use of the F word (no, not Gordon Ramsay’s show, although he’s a good example) on television is as common as anything, with movies and programmes regularly being littered with them. But in the 1970s, things were slightly different, and swear words weren’t something you ever heard on the goggle box.

I’m a big fan of the Sex Pistols, a fact you need to keep in mind while reading the following rant. The thing is, I’m a fan of them in their original guise, in the late 1970s, when the UK needed someone to come along and mix things up a little.
That is exactly what the […]

Duffy has been one of the biggest stars to have emerged over the last six months in the wake of the success Amy Winehouse has enjoyed on both sides of the Atlantic. She was rewarded for her hard work by having her début hit Mercy named as Song Of The Year in the Mojo Honours […]

Speaking at the launch of Guitar Hero III in London, the now California resident Lydon went on the rampage about his old home:

I seem to have spent the 3 months I’ve been writing this blog talking mainly about 2 things; One is Amy Winehouse after her many drug and relationship problems, the other is the series of British bands who seem to be reforming lately.
