***Wincing and ducking for cover*** So was Shane McGowan but that doesn't mean they both weren't iconic and great.

Oh he absolutely is a sad pathetic mess surrounded by a pose of enablers.

Its also not poetry, because letā€™s face it no musician is a Thomas or a Keats, but he had an ability with prose that few other musicians have had.

And several others. Iā€™m going to be honest and say that I donā€™t rate what Iā€™ve heard of Morrisonā€™s lyrics in the slightest but then the doors never were my thing, even as a teenager.

What a great thread, can't believe I missed all this.

I've never really liked classic rock, agree with @Joe Mac, meh. It will always be the very last bin in the record store that I would like at, if at all. I will listen to some classic (rock) albums from time to time though. If it's good music, it's good music.

I honestly feel quite offended that you all have Talking Heads labelled as classic rock o_O.

Talking Head's & Blondie I always thought were punk, maybe new wave, definitely not classic rock. (How the British punk scene developed is probably why they aren't considered punk anymore).

Grunge to me = Ned's Atomic Dustbin (by the way @TenderLovingKillerĀ® I love the grunge Spinal Tap video you posted)

And to the meat of it, a hotdog is still a hotdog without any bread. Surely a sandwich needs some bread? :unsure:

Similarly. I own a lot of the classic rock cannon and itā€™s great music but I think thereā€™s such a big deal made of that era and a lot of boring stuff is artificially rated because itā€™s from a similar time or in a similar style to a great.

Yeah Iā€™d agree with you on Talking Heads and Blondie. Alongside Television theyā€™re sort of American post-punk following in from the proto-punk of the likes of the Stooges. Them emerging at a similar time the iconic first wave of punk in Britain definitely muddied those waters.

Isnā€™t a hot dog without a bun just a sausage? Isnā€™t it the act of putting it in a bun what makes it a hot dog? Itā€™s still not a sandwich though.

I don't think a hot dog has any real meat, but:

Talking Heads and Blondie are definitely post-punk, but they get played on classic rock radio (at least as of the mid-2000s... who knows what plays on the radio these days).

And yes, hot dogs are still sandwiches.

Are they fuck sandwiches! For a start when you get sent to the shop for hotdogs the expectation is (unless you own a border collie) that you'll fetch some buns too. So therefore the hotdog is only a part of the equation and not the full sandwich itself. That would be either a hotdog sandwich or, more likely, a hot dog in a bun. It's like saying a burger is a sandwich. It's not. a burger is the filling in a sandwich.

And on that matter I'd say that most commonly a hotdog wouldn't be 'sandwiched' between two slices of bread. It'll be in a bun so therefore it's not just literally not a sandwich but it figuratively isn't a sandwich either.

Absolute madness!

Also Iā€™d never call something in a bun a sandwich. If itā€™s not between two doorsteps from a loaf itā€™s not a sandwich!

A burger is absolutely a sandwich.

I'm a bit torn on this, although I would never call it a sandwich, I would have a 'Fish Butty' & when say butty I mean sandwich. (I'm not getting into the bun, bap, barm cake convo)
