Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 June 2008 Posted 14 June 2008 Is it me or are these really starting to hack anyone else off too? Firstly, the absolute garbage on the Top Gear "driving music" album and the smug Richard Hammond voiceover. Anyone who buys this should be sentenced to ten years living in Coventry. Secondly, "Cigarettes and Alcohol". Where do I start? "Does your Dad remember Oasis at Knebworth?" I REMEMBER OASIS AT ****ING KNEBWORTH! Naming a CD aimed solely at shifting units for Fathers Day after a song called "Cigarettes and Alcohol" is baffling in the extreme. Thirdly, I just don't understand people who buy these things. If you're a bloke in your thirties with kids who liked indie music in the 90s, wouldn't you already have everything on there anyway?? People are idiots.

If I get anything with the merest hint of Kula Shaker about it, I'll be on eBay bidding for a new family. Bloody Hallmark holiday... ... but if you are going to say it, say it with Indian takeaway.

Webbo Posted 14 June 2008 Posted 14 June 2008 I've got a bad feeling I'm getting Neil Diamonds greatest hits.

They now feel lost, lonely and very much left out, and if it wasn't for the release of such compilations, vast periods in some people's lives would be lost forever, with only the vain hope that Radio 2 will play a track by Echobelly.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 14 June 2008 Posted 14 June 2008 If I got one of those pieces of crap for my Dad that would be my inheritance f*****. I think the chances of even getting any help with my new patio would look decidedly shaky

Anyone who buys this should be sentenced to ten years living in Coventry. I saw that advert on TV with my dad. If I bought him an album containing songs by The Kooks and Scouting for Girls then he'd doubtless give me a severe beating. AND NOT ALL FATHERS LIKE FOOKING STATUS QUO! I've just bought him beer instead. (Bloody expensive beer mind.)

People are idiots. The thing you forget Fez and I sometimes suffer from it as well is that (a) some people have no musical taste whatsoever!! just like Man Utd and Chelsea have glory hunting fans who never go in football music suffers from the same people who only buy compilations and greatest hits albums. (b) people pay to much attention to Radio1 and listen to what they are told © not everyone has a love of music like you and me I live to discover new and exciting bands, expand my horizons with different styles and genres ,people I know find it crazy that I buy / download (legally) 4 or 5 albums a week people buying shit albums like this really annoys me when I know of some many other bands that are so much better. (d) people are idiots

lildave3 Posted 15 June 2008 Posted 15 June 2008 Status Shit. I challenge you to say that after listening to Rocking All Over The World while celebrating the fact you're going to Wembley.
