Personally I found Van Halen to be everything that’s wrong with music but I understand it’s subjective

Not my kind of music as such but an amazing guitarist, a talented all round musician, an innovator and much more as well as being a decent guy.

I was looking through some old top 40 charts the other day and it was hit after hit. There are no doubt still some superb artists around but I doubt I'd know a song in the top 40

. Commercialised and drained of character. Even the 80s has a little zaniness and individuality about it, but now it's all identikit stuff. I expect most well crafted songs never make the charts. Hrolf The Ganger 08 Oct 20 10.10pm |
