Dire Straits is a great band. Someone tells you they like 'Brothers in Arms' and immediately you know they're a stupid annoying git.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
While I was into many different types of music, and played with many different local groups, I really didn't have a band to call my own until Dire Straits was formed in 1977.
Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.
I'm obsessed with Radiohead. They're just the greatest band on the planet.
My favorite band of all time is The Clash. The thing I love about The Clash is they started out as guys who could barely play three chords. They dabbled in reggae, punk, rap, jazz. They came to a sound that could only be defined as The Clash. It was impossible to say what it was. I admire them for that.
You might have a favorite band and really dislike one of the records. That's fine.
I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.
My favorite band was The Band, and nobody compares in my mind with The Band.
I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
I'll tell you what I hate - bands like My Chemical Romance.
They're always so serious, the orchestras, you know? It's always a fun contrast of that song and the genre of music. And me.
