His Excellency Sir General Jeremy Clarkson, liberator of the freeways, abolisher of the bus-lane, holy speed-camera crusader, bane of the environmentalists and banisher of the fake accident police!

Come on now.. that does sound great images/smilies/biggrin.gif

hey man relax.. whats so wrong with posting in old threads? Should we rather make a new thread about same topic every month?

Its the first time i found this thread (last post here was months before i joined), i found it interesting and posted my opinion in it.
These message boards are for fun so please dont ruin it for people who joined late.

It is when you have nothing to add to the existing thread. If you had new information, of course you can share it. Digging up old threads just to post something along the lines of "ZOMG LOLOL knight Jeremy Clarkson" is quite irritating.

Why not? They've already knighted a few rockstars and they've basically done nothing - just like Jeremy. Unless you view being able to carry a tune and write a good song as a betterment to all of Mankind.. or British mankind at least.

The fact of the matter: Rock music is the UK's finest export.

But it's not the best rock music. And they weren't the ones who originally came up with it. Plus, their best band is Led Zeppelin and they stole practically all of "their" early songs (best songs) from American bands - like Spirit - that they toured with in San Fran as the The Yardbirds.

And as for the Beatles, their influence is WAAAY over exaggerated. Some have even made the argument that they hurt rock music more than they helped it.

Uhmmm.. Pink Floyd just sucks.

Are there any left?

I actually found his post rather amusing and fun. Yours was just condescending.
