That’s the ‘The’ part in my record collection, so don’t believe THE hype.

By the way, a nice thread to use the quote function. :)

What about The Beatles, the Clash, the Damned, the Sex Pistols etc? Ots not that modern a doobrey!

I WAS talking about all those new garage rock THE bands that are all rubbish and all the same and all dress and look the same.

The worst of them all, and absolutely the WORST band of all time is

The Libertines.

Not even a hint of talent amongst them. Absolutely awful.

The Darkness. Bah, I must be old. I just don’t get it.
