However I am currently agreeing with Ray Connolly in a newspaper article who argues that Sergeant Pepper was NOT their greatest album.

Definitely. It's because they had a singer with an Irish name that everyone thought that they were "cool".

People always go on about Sgt Pepper as the greatest (Beatles) LP and the first concept album but Angelic it isn't. 'We're Sgt PLHCB, we hope you will enjoy the show'... 'We're SPLHC, we hope that you enjoyed the show.' Not exactly Tommy. Lennon himself said he wasn't interested in concept albums, just good songs. (b) The individual songs aren't their best. Is Fixing a Hole McCarrtney's peak, or Mr Kite Lennon's? George's effort is snnozeworthy too, hence - by his own admission - the laughter at the end.

Prefab Sprout? They're like sex. Anal sex. F**king shit. Wanker McPoo thinks he's one of the greatest songwriters ever, which is a bit like Donald Trump saying he's one of the best masturbatory pinups. Hot dog, jumping frog - what the f**k are you on about, you self-obsessed, overrated, underachieving twanny?

The Best of Delaney and Bonnie. Another great band I never got to see. Relaunched Mr Clapton and did one of the first versions of Groupie (Superstar).

Flirtin' With Disaster - Molly Hatchet

How can I post links so it shows a video like those ^ instead of just URL links? I've tried using tags like vid and video but it doesn't work and I look like a bumbling oaf which is only half true.

I try to explain...

Example:

Change this

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpG4z3as-8

to this

youtube=ASpG4z3as-8

That's how you do it:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpG4z3as-8

(delete the "htttp"-stuff until "you.."and everything after -"tube" until "=")

and put it in square brackets in the end.
[......]
I hope that helps!

That makes things so much clearer.

Cheers, I'm almost there but not sure what [ ] brackets go where. If I wanted to post https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpG4z3as-8

How would I write it in the post?

Great choice BTW :D

Look! It's Ted Rogers in a dress!

Don't try that old "Look, it's Ted Rogers in a dress" routine on me, buster.

again, change

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpG4z3as-8

into

youtube=ASpG4z3as-8 and put it into [ ]

The brackets make this line turn into this

Press the the quote button and see how the last version looks in code.
