TJ, you really do spout some junk, so if we kill Rock off in 1983 then we miss out on so many classic albums, Nevermind, Appetite for Destruction, The Black Album - Metallica just to name 3 very quickly
Are you just upset that Cliff hasn't had a hit parade song out for a while? 
Pop music is an ephemeral thing attached to a time. Is Bill Haley relevant today? Drapecoats and brothel creepers? How about lace and big hair of the new romantics?
What a load of rubbish.
You'd better have a word with the controller of Radio 3 TJ, they're in the middle of wasting the first 12 days of January with a Mozart season, undoubtedly one of the most famous 'ephemeral Pop Musicians' of his day.
One of the most wonderful things about music TJ is that it IS timeless.
Would you denegrate all other artforms in the same way? All those pointless art galleries and their irrelevant, meaningless old masters - all those libraries full of pointless old 'classics'?
You've surpassed yourself this time. 
So if music is not of its time, its irrelevant? Bit like saying old motorbikes are rubbish because they're not modern.
Where would Metal be without Motorhead or Black Sabbath or Led Zep etc etc.
Just because its old doesnt mean it needs to reinvent or restyle to the genre's latest brand / image.
Have you guys seen spinal tap?
Have you guys seen spinal tap?
Yes.
You can spoof anything.
And if you'd ever listened to 'Killed by Death' (amongst others) I think you'll find Lemmy himself is very switched on to the concept of self parody.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever TJ, as a very wise man once said, but you've crossed it with this thread. 
Admit defeat and stop digging?
Sorry guys. I wish I could find a pic of me back in my metal days
To make up for me arguing on this thread

I am tempted into a nostalgia kick now.
Stacia was probably the best dancer of her generation, no other dance artist could match her shear presence on the stage, her interpetation and choreography would hold an audience mesmerized. To this day, I still don't know how she managed to captivate an audience such as she did.
I know B A, it's a mystery as to why she was so popular isn't it?
Dancing is a serious business - frankly, not the greatest Brise I've ever seen, but her Arriere surpasses Arsey Bustle's anyday of the week.
Try a google image search for a couple more large pointers as to her success. 
Radio 6 is a good example of understanding that just 'new' music is relevant.
One minute Lady Gaga, the next Squeeze, then the Stone Roses and possibly some Japan...
Even tough I'm still a fan of rock I find that Motorhead leave me cold. Just feel that Lemmy is a victim of his own image and should grow up a bit. Bit like the blokes who get involved in motorbike gangs. Still there are plenty of examples in all sorts of walks of life, not just music. "Sir" Alan Sugar comes to mind. In fact put AS in a dirty long hair wig and stick a couple of rubber warts on his face and you've probably got Lemmy.
Strangely enough I find myself nodding when Mr. Mastiles speaks.
Motorhead is Motorhead, that is all. No genre, no fashion, no fad. A good old rock and roll band. Also agree about 6 Music. TJ, you only see Motorhead as a cliche because of your need to label, pigeonhole and catalogue. The band have been doing their own thing since day 1, and long may they continue.
grow up a bit
Do you have details of what I should be wearing / doing at a particular point in my life? I'm sorry but I missed the part about prescribed behaviour being mandatory.
A friend of mine came out of a Motorhead concert with his ears bleeding back in the day. I wasn't much of a fan then, but after hearing the Hayseed Dixies cover of the Ace of Spades, I'm more convinced that they wrote timeless classics...
