The most overrated music city/scene ever, right? Nirvana and their ilk - just reheated 70's guitar rock paired with "woe is me" self loathing lyrics. Yeah, we feel real sorry for you because the world hates you. Grow up. Styx sucked, but at least they never tried to make me feel bad.

Wait, this is Showydaddy?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I just did a deep dive on this board's history of discussion Showdaddydaddy and it's 90% older English board members talking whimsically about them and 10% Wolter basically saying "this is pretty good stuff."

Check out Under the Moon of Love. That, along with Silver Lady by David Soul and Daddy Cool by Darts were the songs that got me into music, big time.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I would have thought it was 90+% of people making fun and the rest Heston/Tom defending.
