How the hell do you know who bought what?
 
Pedro, you really do have to get over this obnoxious sense of self-importance and perceived superiority you carry around with you.
 
It's not a very nice characteristic in someone you're trying to have a conversation with

I was right next to radio, FM station number one in Santa Barbara, and got to see a lot of it working for many years, including the likes of the famous KLOS and KMET in Los Angeles.
 
There is nothing obnoxious in what I said, except that you didn't like my not mentioning Thin Lizzy or AC/DC, which also were huge players in those days by many other DJ's.
 
While you may know your own music well, history and its variation in music via the American radio and specially FM radio, is not something that you seem to know very well, or have an appreciation for. At least, I was listening to 1,000 British bands, in those days as well, but you would never consider that as a valuable experience.
 
To even play some of your stuff, we had to fight record stores, that used to say that is not a hit, or wouldn't sell, and didn't know music from the stuff that fell out of their butts! They just knew a few hits!
 
And promptly forgot the music 10 years later when it was gone!
 
Make sure you know which side you are on, before you spew some tobacco spit! I respect and love the music ... not the rest!

 Huh?
 
What has one single word of that reply got to do with answering "How the hell do you know who bought what?"
 
Seriously, do you ever actually read what people post? It seems like you simply ignore whatever's been said and proceed to type a load of irrelevant bumph.

There is some doubt that dear old Brian Johnston ever said that...

Johnners never actually said it in commentary.
 
He did say it on air though. He was reading out a listener's letter on Test Match Special in which the author suggested he'd used that particular line. Subsequently, all the recordings of TMS in which both Peter Willey and Michael Holding played were duly scrutinised to no avail.
 
However, they could have probably saved themselves the bother. Some time later, it was reckoned Johnners had been the victim of a cruel hoax when someone noticed that the innocuous looking signatory on the letter betrayed its mischievous intent when read out aloud.... Mrs Tess Tickle.

I'm thinking that the reason for that really bad list missing all these is because they never heard FM Radio when it mattered and it was the reason why you bought the stuff. The music was GREAT and deserved the audience.
 
Some of the crap listed in there is just that ... cheap stuff that no one will recognize on the radio at all!
 
The thought of TS mentioned next to PF and LZ ... just boggles the mind! 

 
Steve it's your feelings of inferiority that are the problem.  Really!

Your point being?

Your point being?

No, I'm the pointy one. Daryk said so.

Straummy doesn't get it. If Pedro bought it, no one else did. If Pedro likes it, no one else understands it properly. If Pedro berates it, it's crap even if the evidence points out otherwise.
 
Oh yeah and he probably doesn't read what others say.

BTW, who's Pedro?

Pedro is the Dude Man, I'm telling you, he is the dude...dude, two snaps that he is.

I don't know, but I feel a strong urge to vote for him for some reason...
