I pretty much just have Mad Caddies in my Discman at all times, but I occasionally dabble in a bit of Reel Big Fish, Sublime or Jurassic 5. Having said that, the almighty Freddie Mercury has to be my favourite singer of all time. He was just...Freddie Mercury. There's no adjectives available.

Freddie was amazing, there'll never be another like him that's for sure. I still rate Bohemian Rhapsody as one of the best pieces of art ever in any medium.

I mostly listen to The Jam. I recently bought the 5 disc Direction Reaction Creation box set, it's fascinating listening to how they evolved as a band, a lot of their very early album tracks and B sides were nothing above mediocre, but from disc 2 onwards it's pretty much all top notch. You can feel the young passion bursting out of almost every song. So many of the lyrics were just so fucking amazing, not the stuff you'd expect from guys in their early 20s (take Private Hell for example), Paul Weller is a genius.

Roy Orbison and Freddie Mercury were the greatest singers of all time, and no one since has come close.

Eh, fuck if I know. The only tv I watch these days are Simpsons reruns, Korean soap operas and Chappelle's Show. Oh, and Arrested Development.

The rest of tv sucks.

And I just made this thread go wildly off-topic.

You wild thing, you.

I once watched Blazing Saddles on the ### Family Channel for the hell of it.

It was one long 'beep'.
