I think they’d probably agree with you. I think given the choice between form and substance, Paul Stanley wouldn’t go for the latter.

Thing is though, their Unplugged album is surprisingly good.

I seem to […]

I think that Noddy and Jim are better songwriters than Kiss, but apart from a few things like How Does It Feel? I don’t think there’s a lot of depth to Slade. And that’s fine. Depth is overrated, at least in pop […]

This gives weight to the point mentioned elsewhere on the site recently that the things that non-fans don’t like about a band are the things that that most attract the fans.

I like the fact that Kiss are […]

This brings back fond memories of Gahoon Hero on the PS3. I could do Baker Street on Expert level.

Ah, was it? Actually St Dunstan’s is better isn’t it? Actually Dunstable works pretty well too, so I’ll claim that one as Trad. arr. Hawkfall.

That’s brilliant.

Not a put down, but my favourite Coward quote was when he was with his niece and they saw two dogs having it off.

“Uncle Noel, what are they doing?”
“Well my dear, the dog on the bottom is […]

Maybe it was passed on to Vanilla Ice, and we all better stop, collaborate and LISTEN.

Well, I was being a bit sarcastic I suppose, but it wasn’t directed at you, Arthur.

I wasn’t being sarcastic, was just trying to make a cheap joke about this place would put up with a thread about a Sci Fi film with music by Queen.

Do the thread! I like the film, and have a lot of time for […]

The “I’m Flash” single by Alice Cooper that was released from the album is one of the more collectible items in his discography.

I think we should definitely do a thread on that film. I can’t imagine a kids film from the 1980s with a Queen soundtrack would attract much hate on this site.

Hold on Arthur, I just want to check I’ve got this right:

I Just Called to Say I Love You = Terrible Song
Mull of Kintyre = Great Song

Can we confirm this?

Amen to that. I only got round to listening to the last of the YCDTOSA albums this week. How bad is that? I have 50 of his albums and I still feel a lightweight.

This is a great post. Like Bingo, I’m a fan by proxy as a few of my friends are big fans. And as is usually the case when I’m a fan by proxy, I become a bit of a fan myself. After all, I like the people who like […]

Dont Stop Me Now is a re-entry. 52 weeks on the chart now, more than Bohemian Rhapsody. Wasnt a big hit back in the day, No. 9, respectable, but not one of their biggest. Stopped playing it live after one tour if […]

Surely every act that is popular on this site is safe enough for public consumption. Rock music will soon be having its own platinum jubilee after all.

If Queen are Sainsburys, then the Afterword’s favourite […]

I don’t think this book will be of interest to Afterworders, unless it’s about a grizzled, hard-drinking home manager whose career is on the rocks and is thrown one last home management job that nobody else wants.

Me too! Plus the toilets are nicer. Especially at Eddie’s. I didn’t really like the wallpaper that Moose had chosen. Although the magazines were interesting.

I think “Dour Indie Puritanism” describes the NME in the 80s very well. I think we should have a “Rock Civil Wars” Thread, where we have to choose our sides:

Cavaliers: ABBA, Queen, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, […]
