Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Top five progressive bands

3 of 12

I am very much a fan of the 'old school' progressive rock - that is, English prog rock bands from ca. 1968 to the mid-1970s.There are a handful of such bands which I particularly like and listen to regularly (and as a musician often cite as leading influences!)In no particular order...YES - guitarist Steve Howe is a major inf...

Politics, News & Issues > Sports News & Opinion (Other) Are rodeos sport or animal cruelty?

5 of 13

RodeosOnly with extreme disgust do I consider the horrific and inhumane 'entertainment' that are rodeos.Animals are humiliated, tortured, maimed, and killed all in the name of public entertainment and sport. If this isn't bad enough anyone with a conscience who protests against such events - and has the nerve and courage to d... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands World's best guitarists

20 of 50

Very subjective! How does one gauge such a title 'world's best guitarist'?Is it popularity? Is it technique? Is it what he or she plays? How fast? Or is it what he or she doesn't play? What genre of music are we talking about? I guess the notion of 'world's best' puts it in the arena of 'popular' rock music. So who is the mos... More..

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews Television reviews: Doctor Who

8 of 17

Some intitial thoughts and reflections on my favourite television programme..Doctor Who is truly a cultural institution of the late 20th (and now early 21st) centuries. The production of the program, from 1963 until the late 1980s, is like a history of television drama writing and technical production.The show's cancellation ... More..

Style & Beauty > Hand & Foot Care Broken fingernails: A guitarist's dilemma

1 of 1

I am a guitarist who often plays acoustic finger-style (finger-picked)pieces as part of my repertoire. This requires maintenance of long-ish finger and thumb nails on the right hand (or picking hand).My finger style has developed from basic self-taught classical guitar and some country and folk styles. I mostly write my own m... More..

Home & Garden > Cleaning (Other) What you can do with your spare time after you've hired a maid

23 of 35

Just think of all the things I wouldn't have to do if I hired a maid - cleaning, washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking, etc. Shopping even! Sure I enjoy some of these things, but over all they take up all my spare time, and I cannot do half the things I really want to do.With young children as well most spare time is spent... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Which is the best rock band in the world

26 of 37

This is a very subjective topic.How does one rate 'the best rock band' in the world? Firstly, has anyone actually heard EVERY rock band in the world? What makes a band 'the best'? Is it the most popular? Or is it the one that has the best, musicians, writes the most technically brilliant songs, continually challenges the list... More..
