Devout Queer in Your Ear readers will be aware that I continue to advocate rock music even now in the 1990s. There's nothing wrong with being a picky eater at the rock-music banquet. Nothing in particular, save for unwavering competence.
Lateral progression counts for something.
If you and your bandmates can put together a pair of records that stand up well against each other, you're laughing. I know of no better practitioner of the medium-speed rock song. These tunes rock, but you can sing along with them, too, not to mention dance to them with a partner of your choice. King's X, Mott the Hoople, Crime and the City Solution, Cabaret Voltaire. Music-group nomenclature badly needs some ingenuity.
