F.A Cup Final to be precise, Fulham v West Ham.However, a two hour live Yes show proved to me that I was definitely out of sync with what was currently see as "hip". Proud of it, too. Give me my current faves of the day,, which was 50s rock n' roll, rockabilly, doo wop, Motown & soul. Oh, as well as a great an up n' coming little band from Canvey Island, namely the awesome Dr Feelgood. Mid 70s music stank to high heaven! No wonder the dreaded punk rock movement HAD to happen.

Got pissed at my mates house for the footie, as his parents were away. We then went to the gig hammered. Probably the best way to hear the prog meanderings of Yes though. Never was, and never will be a fan of the band. Musically you clearly can't see the difference between shit and chocolate. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

I can remember Jon Anderson making an inane remark about Gareth Edwards dropping a goal which annoyed me much more than it should have done because it was FA Cup Final day.I expect you had short hair too. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif
remember seeing them live at the Colston Hall in Bristol.
They were launching the YES Album.

Although I quite liked the Yes Album, I'm with you on them really - never was much of a fan of them or prog rock in general, I only went to see them because I succumbed to the herd mentality which said that you had to be into them if you were "a serious music fan" who was in their late teens in the mid 70s. Punk rock was great because it brought pop/rock back to it's roots at a time when so many of the age group which I still believe should drive it (i.e. people under the age of, say, 20) were struggling to find much they could relate to amid the inane pop, glam rock and prog rock of the mid seventies - it also helped stop someone like me developing into the full blown musical snob I was in danger of becoming thanks to the Yes', ELPs and Caravans of this world.

Agree very much with what you say about succumbing to the herd mentality which said you had to be into them (as well as other prog bores like ELP, Genesis and Floyd) if you were a serious music fan in the mid 70s. I went with my mate as part of that herdUnfortunately as far as your argument is concerned, the Clash contained a few fine musicians.

I lived through all of that and the artists you reckon are so great and the genres of music you rate were tacky 3 minute rubbish artists.The Clash were a very well respected band by their peers, my favorite band cite them as a massive influence, I have always wondered why, of their era and genre, they did nothing for me, I'm in a minority on this one http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif, of the 3 min thrash bands and if pressed against the wall the Buzzcocks would be my response but i'd rather listen to JayZee and that kane fella.

I've said all I need to say except whatever you like enjoy it.It's funny that you mention Prog Rock and Classical in that way. My lady, who is younger than me, was schooled in the threee minute pop song and can't get to grips with long tracks that meander and change theme as Prog Rock tends to do. I have stated many times that Classical music does the same thing....

I went with my mate as part of that herdThat would be a fair point normally, but unless you lived through that time, you can't know what it was like. If you wanted a bit more from music than the stuff that was on Top of the Pops most weeks, there wasn't a great deal else you could listen to - looking back, I should have paid more attention to Northern Soul than I did at the time because it represented what I've always liked in music more than prog rock ever did.

In my opinion The Clash were one of our finest bands, hugely influencing music worldwide just as much as the Beatles and Stones.
So many times I've seen a band or major artist that fling in the odd Clash song into their set , especially the yanks
[/quote]
The Clash are possibly one of the most over-rated bands in the history of popular music!
Did you ever catch them live? I was there at Cardiff University in October '77. They were shite to put it bluntly. Strummer, Jones and Simonon could barely play their instruments, and none of the feckers could acutally sing, or hold a note. Bellow like bullfrogs with a bad case of piles, yes! But sing?? They honestly were dreadful. I personally hold them responsible (among a few other bands of that era) of ushering the loud, shouty, screaming "vocals" adopted by many punk and most of today's metal bands
Strummer was that influential and popular that on his last tour, just before his untimely passing away, I caught him live at TJ's. Yes, TJ's! Not the CIA or NEC, but a small, sweaty club. Which held how many?? 200? And please don't give me that "Saint-Strummer" claptrap of how he wouldn't have played the NEC or other large arenas, because he was "one of the people" maaaaan.
As far as influencing music worldwide as much as the Stones or Beatles. Really?? Do you honestly think so?? I'm sorry, but on an influential level, Strummer and co ain't fit the lace the boots of Messrs. Richards, Jones, Taylor and Watts at there peak, between 1963-'78. I'm not really a fan of the Beatles, but they definitely influenced far, far more bands than the Clash ever will.
Which great, really great bands, fling a Clash song into their set? I'd be interested to hear.
