Well, I wouldn't want a watered down version of the Kinks either! ;)

Nah, I've got nothing against the Jam and Paul Weller -- like I say,  
I've got a mate who's a big fan.  I've just never found them more  
than "all right".  And have to avoid listening to the lyrics too  
hard, since I've got a limited tolerance for (and I know lots of  
people who disagree here) self-consciously miserable lyrics (don't  
even get me started on The Smiths or Morrisey! ;)  But it's OK  
burbling along in the car or background at a party (Jam/Weller, that  
is, not The Smiths ;) since I have to draw the line somewhere :)

Cheers,
Carl
