What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I never cared for them either. But in retrospect, they were actually outstanding lyricists and musicians, but their voices were odd, nasally and bland with their Liverpool accents, making it unenjoyable for me to listen to them.
