Remember them being criticized at the time by some on the scene for being "punk Grateful Dead", with all the long songs and guitar jams.
EDIT: should have tagged @WashYourHands here...
This is why we should start up a new campaign to get COTD shut down again, you could join in this time!He's too big a loss to be relegated to a few posts in Choon of the Day, redux.
I'll never get the COTD hate. It's a place to post a tune you're currently enjoying, one that doesn't fit into an existing thread and isn't special enough to deserve its own. why is that concept so offensive?
How do you know until you start it,?
You never know what might happen.Because it's you making the thread. What do you want? A load of new threads with just a YouTube video and no text every time someone hears a tune they want to share?
Seems fairly unlikely you'd bother to even click on a dancehall tune, say, on the cotd thread if you weren't arsed about dancehall. At least I wouldn't, maybe just me.Another thing about the COTD threads is you stumble across stuff you might not have bothered with had it been in a specific thread, e.g. someone's not that arsed about dancehall but hears a dancehall tune they like because it's in a mixed thread rather than a dedicated one they wouldn't open.
