I'm with Pulp, who are you fighting with?

[JimBob]

 I've always felt at odds with the music choices of other 2000 aders, surely I'm not the only one to steer a course between the twin evils of Rock and -shudder- Roxilla endorsed dance cobblers. say it loud I'm indie and proud.
 Face it when Dredd went home to rowdy yates he was listening to shed 7.

[Ol^ Marbles]

Well now I've gotta put in a vote for the greatest rock 'n roll band ever, The Clash.

Still, I do enjoy getting blissed out with the love generation on the odd occasion I manage to dodge the highly trained Care Staff here at Marbles Mansion...

[Nervie]

Dead Kennedys, Smashing Pumkins, One Minute Silence, System of a Down, pantera, etc.

Ro.
"Read between the lines, bitch."

[christophe]

Derar JimBob,

I am fighting with Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Bjork, Blur, Shirehorses and Radiohead.

C.

[Wood]

Well, I'm with Belle and Sebastian, which means I'm going to be beaten into a bloody pulp...

(You know my wandering days are over. Does that mean that I'm getting boring?)

[Tex Hex]

Rock on!
Fighting in hexens corner are:
Nick Drake. He invented belle and sebastian.
Nick Cave. "The beast he cometh, cometh down."
The Clash. Make the sex pistols look the silly pricks they were.
The Smiths. Ahh, morissey, you gay pathetic fool.

Ride the lightning!

[Adrian Bamforth]

"The Smiths. Ahh, Morrissey, you gay pathetic fool."

Yeah, the Zenith lookalike always makes me chuckle (at my own misdemeanours).

Also:

Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptions ("Brenda's iron sledge/Please don't call me Reg/It's not my name")

Canadian band Moxy Fruvous ("Once I was the king of Spain/Now ay yeeat humble pie...")

Cud ("I've always been told that the prettiest lasses/Come from the up and upper-middle classes")

Jilted John ("I was so upset that I cried/All the way to the chip shop...")

[Oddboy]

Any of the bands playing Friday at Reading Festival this year (did you know that the Leeds council has rejected the licence?) and most of the Saturday line up and a few choice cuts from the Sunday too...

[Wood]

Robyn Hitchcock!

Nick Drake!

I've found people who've even heard of them! Hurrah!

"And I said, Caroline/There's no need to spell it backwards/ That's eniloraC"...

[esoteric ed]

I'm with The Stranglers, XTC, David Bowie, The Real People, Aphex Twin, System 7/orb, and this week I'm renting out a John Martyn appartment for some peace and quiet.

Ed

[satchmo]

I'm with The Pixies. Gouge away!

[Smiley]

I'll concur with XTC, Stranglers and Robyn Hitchcock. Plenty of soft spots for other plastic discs by the likes of Magazine, Wall Of Voodoo, Wire, Frank Tovey, Devo and Cardiacs amongst others. Yup, I spit on accepted notions of cool.

POP QUIZ:
Andy Partridge of XTC once did a song that went DON'T YOU EVER DARE CALL ME CHICKENHEAD. According to the man himself: "Possibly the stupidest thing I've ever put on tape. The sound of a children's `fun' keyboard on the `accompaniment setting' and me quoting lines from the British comic, 2000 A.D. Pass the strait-jacket."

Which strip/story was he gabbling on about?

[2000AD Online]

I'm totally eighties and fairly Australian on this:
the Saints
Nick Cave ("I am not afraid to die".  Nobody else is afraid for you to die either Nick)
Radio Birdman (you're never alone with a Smith and Wesson)
Hunters and Collectors
The The
Heaven 17

and I'm a little Japanese:
Puffy
Shonen Knife
the Brilliant Green
Judy and Mary

[Misanthrope]

I'm with Frank Zappa( Isn't that where block mania started?) and Captain Beefheart. Also for complete weirdness, Robert Fripp and his 'frippatronics'. Dead Kennedys for back up and Ozric Tentacles for chilling out. And the Butthole Surfers for comic relief.

[Oddboy]

That was Dan Tanna not Frank Zappa!
