In poor taste?

[Nosher]

Agreed, those Mods deserve a good kicking just for the silly scooters, not to mention those bloody parkas 

At least Mods washed and their taste in music was far better

It seems the bitter divisions of that conflict still run deep in the British psyche!

At least Mods washed and their taste in music was far better

The Mods:
Small Faces, The Kinks, The Who, Yardbirds, The Animals, The Nashville Teens, The Pretty Things, The Spencer Davis Group, The Move, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, etc…

The Rockers:
Start with the likes of Eddie Cochrane, Johnny Kid & The Pirates, Them, before merging into Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, Argent and throw in a few surprises including the outrageous Sensational Alex Harvey Band! I know which side I'm on!

Hah !!!

Well, I like most of the lot that you've mentioned Will.....and still do.

Though I could pick out some in both sections that I wouldn't miss if they'd never ever produced anything.
I'd have to say from a completely personal point of view, I'd rip some of the 'mod' groups out of their section and put them in with the rockers.

All down to personal preferences, I guess. (Are you going to the Boston tea party ?.....And you know Argent ? Blloomin' heck...I imagined I'd be the only one from the forum that would know them....Go on...make me feel old....tell me it was your Dad's old vinyl album that you used to listen to. ))
Cheers - Phil.

If you insist Phil,
I discovered two things in my dad's flat when I was 14, one was a large selection of high class p*rn, which we both threw out shortly after, as it was a bit tame and much more fun in real life!
The other discovery was his collection of vinyl greats:
[/list]First pressings of nearly all the early Rolling Stones, including Sticky Fingers (with zip) and Some Girls with interchangable faces, At His Sataanic Majesties Request
Beatles including Help, Sergeant Pepper.
The complete Pink Floyd to Dark Side (heavily into this by the time I was 15).
Led Zep IV on PINK vinyl, Physical Graffitti in original slip (where you could change the rooms), now worth a fortune.
Hendrix.
Fleetwood Mac and all their solo albums from the 70s and 80s
Doors originals.
Rod Stewart albums, including one shaped like a whiskey glass (SIng it Again Rod)!
Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band Bestiality.
Lots of Mamas& the Papas, plus Mama Cass.
Joni Mitchell
Joplin (both Scott and Jannis).
Jefferson Airplane 'Surrealistic Pilau' and solo Grace Slick.
Oh and lots and lots of Dylan!

Recognise any of that Phil!

That list sounds like a musical equivalent of a stack of tacky magazines anyway.

So what would be on your list FK? 
Let's do this in a new thread before it turns into a complete hyjack!

[Hertsblue]

Saw the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band live in a pub in Fulham Broadway back in the late sixties. They were an absolute riot. Not what you'd call hard rock, though...

Have done. Though I don't want to badmouth Joni Mitchell, let alone Scott Joplin.

[Luddite]

Liking Joni Mitchell is DEFINITELY in poor taste.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Well, it was my dad's collection, not on my playlist!
