Most pretentious band and least pretentious in the world
 
I'd say U2 are the most pretentious band in the world.
Great band but so pretentious.
I'd say the Ramones were the least.
What say you?

Pete Townsend is pretentious. All that internet talk about him downloading porn for book research is a misnomer. I can't find that book anywhere. Least pretentious? The Who for smashing their instruments every single show. That's rock n roll that is.

People who use pretentious in their daily music conversations are quite pretentious for thinking they know other's intentions.

right-track 03-30-2008 06:03 PM

^ Pretentious statement.

sleepy jack 03-30-2008 06:07 PM

I find it pretentious that you find that pretentious.

swim 03-30-2008 06:08 PM

Ethan stop being ridiculous. That's so pretentious of you.

ADELE 03-30-2008 06:08 PM

Like it jackhammer!!!
Like that one. Get stuck in innit?
But I reckon townsend was unfairly treated.
He told the police he was doing it before.
And he was abused as Tommy and other work will tell you. Everyone knew he was abused as a kid even in the sixties and his songs reflect that. He informed the police before doing anything and they accepted it on inspection but that is a sorded topic that makes me upset and I will not comment on that.
Also that isn't really the issue about the band.
I agree with them been pretentious for smashing up stuff to get attention. totally agree. When I was a kid my mother said they only did it to get attention and I agree it was pretentious.
I'd put them up there.
Nothing wrong with pretentiousness.
U2 are great but I would say they were the most pretentious and some would say they don't back it up with the shows of concern.
I love the way you get stuck in and love debating with you lot.
I mean it like charity issues or religion or politics when they are doing for their own ends or they don't act out their words.
Like sting when he flies so much.

"Least pretentious? The Who for smashing their instruments every single show. That's rock n roll that is." You're not agreeing with him.

ADELE 03-30-2008 06:16 PM

more irony then an iron coin in an iron mine in the iron age innit?
But been pretentious doesn't make you crap and I love the who and U2.
M Jackson is so pretentious but he wrote great songs.
How about some others?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to PM Yac requesting your immediate removals from the moderator staff, swim and right-track. Sorry guys, no one gets away with rule breaking.

right-track 03-30-2008 06:19 PM

Sacre bleu!!! :(

ADELE 03-30-2008 06:22 PM

Don't do that Crowquill.
Forgive them, they know not what they do!!!!!!

jackhammer 03-30-2008 06:22 PM

Adele parle beaucoup de vieux déchets

swim 03-30-2008 06:23 PM

Est-ce que "merde" est un mot vulgaire?

jackhammer 03-30-2008 06:24 PM

S'il aime véritablement pink floyd pourquoi il n'a pas répondu dans ma section de revue*?

sleepy jack 03-30-2008 06:24 PM

At this rate I'll be the only moderator left.


Than I can rule with absolute power.

jackhammer 03-30-2008 06:26 PM

Je n'essaie pas d'être prétentieux en parlant le français ou

sleepy jack 03-30-2008 06:28 PM

I'm probably being insulted and not even realizing it :(

Je mettrai les champignons dans votre boisson au glasto puis vous voler sur ma magie tarte à ma terre de la bonne musique avant de retourner à votre goût fade avec une dose ou de jus d'orange!

This means I will show you good music at glasto and offer you a drink of kindness.
And hopefully you will respond to my kindness in the spirit I intend it!

Vous parlez vraiment des conneries maintenant.

Are you using babel fish or google?
ah ha ha!
Get back to the issue I raised man.
Your insults bounce off me like little kids throwing mars bar wrappers at me from their skateboards.
As to Alfreds comment I would say she is actually doing some good stuff but pretentious no.
Sting now, he flies all over and preaches green stuff.

swim 03-30-2008 06:54 PM

I'm in my second semester of french.

jackhammer 03-30-2008 06:54 PM

@ ADELE Every single French language quote has not mentioned you and that is gospel. If you want me to tell you that you are a twat of the highest order, just let me know.

That was one of the most repugnant similes I've ever seen in my life.

ADELE 03-30-2008 07:01 PM

You have told me i am a twat already.
You don't need to tell me again I know what you think believe me I know.
That is cool. You are not a twat you are oh so fine you are oh so healthy in your body and your mind.
Well respected man (the kinks)
But who are the most pretentious rock stars?
I say sting and U2.
I say the Ramones least because they just belted out songs and stayed the same and didin't try to be what they aint.
Jackhammer try to deal with the thread topic and lay off the personal stuff. I know I am all the things you say I am.
