Beedster

On The Beach currently on rotation loudly chez Beedster, glorious day, all the doors open, warm sunshine flooding in, kids calm, dog snoozing in the sun. Life could be worse

That classic from Steve Coogan "What's your favourite Beatles album?" "Best of the Beatles"

Great idea. Anything that stops the ‘bad courier experience’ threads here gets my vote Good luck

Agreed, perhaps more a provocation than legitimate ranking?

Yep, totally agree re On The Beach. I think the rankings are for no other reason than to start threads like this

Should clarify that those are their ages, not their names

My girls, seven and nine, voted for them without any prompting from me, which I take as a good sign. They’re still a bit confused as to what a Rickenbacker is however

Continuation of my retrospective journey through 70s music, I found some of these rankings surprising https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/nov/05/neil-young-every-album-ranked

Ric 4000 & rock stride. Two out of three ain't bad mate

Agreed, they were authentic weren't they, don't know how much pitch correction was being used but there seemed to be sufficient error to allow us to think none, in which case they were amazing, in fact all of them were. The band that went out in the sudden death thing last might hot a 5-part harmony at one point! I think most of the acts made X-Factor/Voice/BGT acts look synthetic

Good on them

There's talent, and then there's TALENT

Have to say mate that anyone who promotes bands and looking for new talent who isn't on the phone right now is missing out, some great talent on there

I knew I shouldn't have taken a speculative look at the interweb, damn you Rich Tone Music

There was some great singing wasn't there Mick, the winners certainly weren't the best band, but I suspect that as all good music does, they struck a chord......?

They were good trousers, reminded me a little of The Ruttles, but that's a long time ago

Crikey, the rock(ish) band won, all things considered, what a day for democracy

And of course, in the pre-COVID days when I had some cash, I would have posted a 'Wanted Ric 4000' thread

There is something so perfect about the design

That's the one, all a bit postmodern wasn't it

It was McFly, and god they were not great were they

That latter bass didn't look nice did it. Did you notice the two Ashdown 8-x10s with no head?

And yes I have had a couple of beers

Watching Little Mix the Search with the family and, crikey, there's a bloke playing a Ric 4000, made my day Band's called Since September, it was nice to see something vaguely rock and guitar-based on one of these shows. And as far as I'm concerned, anyone with the good sense and good taste to play a 4000 should win any talent show they care to enter for that factor alone

Firstly name and shame the company in question on here. Secondly get medieval on their social media. Third write an email to their MD and post that on social media also.
