Well, two of them are dead already. You simply don't like them. That's fine. But when you offered the judgments that they are over-rated, faux-angry, and aimed to please, I thought I'd respond with a different point of view.

Granted - but I'm talking about the 60s/early 70s-era band. They were an early pioneer of the power-trio format - no rhythm guitar, just drums, bass and lead guitar. But what a trio - the free-form, manic drumming of Keith Moon, the assertive bass-playing of Entwhistle, and the flailing, in-your-face guitar of Pete T. As far as the material goes, I would hardly refer to Pete's writing as "faux-angry". And certainly not designed to please. He did want he wanted. His stuff is intelligent: sometimes angry, sometimes sensitive. And back in he 60s (before the the dominance of the LP), the band focused primarily on the singles market and produced a variety of very distinctive 45s.

I'd like to nominate Star Wars (1977). Not because it was "the worst movie of all time", but because it marked the shift of the U.S. film industry ("Hollywood") away from a central focus on making films for grown-ups to making films for adolescents and children. A shift away from interesting stories and fine acting to films dominated by action and non-stop special effects. A shift from diegetic sound in films to non-diegetic sound - that is, OTT music and post-production sound-effects.

Two: one of each.

Man, you are way off today! The Who was one of the greatest singles bands ever. Get the album Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy. It was their first compilation of all the classic 60s singles. Brilliant! And Who's Next - a superb album. You're just being silly - or you've never really listened to them!

Just focus on the music.

Since others have selected more than one, I'll add: Rolling Stones Fairport Convention ('til Richard Thompson left) Steely Dan Neil Young & Crazy Horse Talking Heads The Kinks

To the tune of Mr. Lee by The Bobbettes (1957): 1, 2, 3 (hey), it's Tadanari Lee; 2, 3, 4 (hey), look at him score; Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, Tadanari Lee, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, Tadanari Lee, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, Tadanari Lee, Mr. Lee - ee - ee.

To the tune of Sha-La-La-La-Lee by the Small Faces: "Picked him up from the J-League, yeah, Tadanari Lee, yeah; Scoring goals he does for fun. Tadanari Lee, yeah, Tadanari Lee. "Ask him where he wants to go, Tadanari Lee, yeah; Premier League, now, go man go, Tadanari Lee, yeah, Tadanari Lee."

The Beatles are nonpareil.

Oh, and I like him a lot more than "former-Saints hard-man Jimmy Case".

Yes!

A destitute man steals a loaf of bread to feed a starving family. What does justice require? a) chop off his hand to show that stealing is a serious offense and to deter others from doing the same b) give him three months in jail so that the baker feels better about his loss c) throw him in jail for six months so that society is satisfied that the system is tough on crime c) provide welfare so that the man and his family do not starve and he doesn't need to resort to stealing to survive A man kills someone, apparently, in cold blood. What does justice require: a) the state should execute the killer to show that killing is wrong, to stop him from killing again, and to deter others from killing b) the state should put him in jail for life because killing is a heinous crime that should not be tolerated, and to deter others c) the state should put him in jail for life because killing is a heinous crime that should not be tolerated - but with the possibility of parole after a long period, if the man shows that he has been rehabilitated d) the state should put him in jail for a limited period (e.g., 10 years) and provide the chance for parole after a set period A president and his secretary of state initiate a secret, illegal, fourteen-month campaign of carpet bombing of two defenseless countries. 2,756,941 tons of ordnance are dropped in 230,516 sorties on 113,716 sites. Over 10 percent of this bombing was indiscriminate, with 3,580 of the sites listed as having “unknown” targets and another 8,238 sites having no target listed at all. Justice requires that: a) the president and his secretary of state be charged with war crimes b) the president and his secretary of state be impeached for pursuing an immoral and illegal act of war without the permission of congress c) the president be re-elected and the secretary of state be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize A Prime Minister takes his country to war to support an ally, despite the fact the majority of his people oppose the action. Justice requires that: a) he be charged with war crimes b) he be deposed as leader immediately by his own party c) he be praised for strengthening ties with his ally d) he be made a "peace envoy" and sent to solve the problems in the Middle East

Come on, Saints! Three points, please!

You want a "corporate symbol"; I want a club badge. You're focused on Southampton FC as a business; I see it as a football club.

So Beautiful or So What by Paul Simon - another great album from him!

Tacky? How so. The scarf is shaped like a scroll, and it puts red and white stripes into the crest. The ball is placed at the top with the scarf around it - like a scarf around a supporter's neck. And the halo is over the ball - like a halo over the head of a saint. Simple, but clever! How can you possibly find that tacky?

It always amuses me when people not only predict the goalscorers, but also give the time of the goal too. Having said that, is anyone aware of somebody ever guessing correctly the goalscorer AND the time that he scored?

I think the crest is wonderful. I particularly love the top part - the shape of the scarf and the football with the saint halo on top. Brilliant!

It's called reverse psychology - nervous nellies desperate to be proven wrong! Saints to win!

Bobby Stokes mentioned in post #4!

Terry Paine, Ron Davies, John Sydenham, Martin Chivers, Mick Channon, Alan Ball - to start with!
