Good shout. I'd maybe make a case for Roald Dahl being the true measure of the genre in the sense that children today devour his books in the same way their parents and maybe even Grandparents did.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
However JK Rowling certainly picked up the baton. I started to read the Harry Potter series when I was 11 or 12 and I finished the series when I was in 3rd year at uni. Now I can't wait to read them, and Dahl, to my own child.

By '79 the London centric art school version of punk rock had imploded but there were still plenty bands bringing out music that was just as important to the punk scene, amongst many of them the damned were back and released machine gun etiquette, the UK subs were doing some great stuff, in Stoke Discharge were at the forefront of hardcore punk and Crass were taking the DIY ethic to whole new levels.
That said there was also a lot of generic rubbish and all that oi nonsese about too.
There was a spell in the mid to late 80s where the old bands still toured doing their tired sets of the old stuff but very little decent new stuff was coming out but that changed with Bad Religion getting back together and bringing out Suffer in 1988, it reignited the whole thing again.

Look after those singles, highly collectable and some are worth a fair few quid. I've seen one chord wonders go for up to £150 on ebay in the last year.Last edited by degenerated; 17-02-2021 at 06:22 AM.

My logic is more along the lines of...
"what is the electronic song that makes me think I'm twelve again and just started high school"

p.s. After all these years, I now understand the original German lyrics, so that's a bonus point in it's favour

Sports video games - the FIFA series. It's not very good, and PES is much better for a football experience.
