No. Joy Division is not British Puss Rock. Moody Blues is British Puss Rock. Arctic Monkeys too.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

You gotta put Marillion under BPR. Do you remember dawn escapes from moon-washed college halls? Do you remember cherry blossoms in the market square?

I have multiple points:

1) Making Movies is a better album than Brothers in Arms. The song Brothers in Arms is solid enough to be part of Making Movies album.
1a) I personally am glad that Hatchetman did not own Making Movies because he was not exposed to Romeo and Juliet...crying in his pillow at the dorm may have led to a negative final outcome for hatchetboy.
2) Money for Nothing was a great MTV song. That was about it. I want to punch puppies when I hear the first notes of Walk of Life (who hoo...)
3) The remainder of the Dire Straits catalog doesn't move bowels or anything else for that matter.
4) While I may be a double-bogey poster here at CFMB, I am going to step up my game and ask an 'on par' CFMB question. Who are these British Puss Rock Bands? Why have I never heard of this genre before?

and thanks for listening.

I might buy later Moody Blues being BPR, but early Moody Blues. Legend of a Mind is BPR? Lotta psychedelia in that early stuff I'm having trouble simply throwing in with the other BPR bands. I'll give you anything after 1980 as BPR. Can we say that British Puss Rock began on or about 1981 or is it anything coming off the island that doesn't seriously kick ass?

Tread carefully here my friend . You start shitting on the Pseudo Silk Kimono Suite of songs and we’re no longer internet acquaintances

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

You lost me here. I get bashing Arctic Monkeys....but I do like them.

Moody Blues not British Puss Rock....not even close.

I don't mind the Denny Laine Moody Blues but that "Breathe Deep" crap is definitely BPR.

Son, they’re gonna beat on your white ass like it’s a rented mule

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Had always heard Sting wrote Money for nothing and regretted not keeping it.

Steely Dan and Dire Straits suffer the same problem...they both need a real lead vocalist.

Seems odd considering he sang on that track.

I hate Dire Straits. British Puss Rock.

Ya know how most woman want to vomit when they here some vintage Rush with Geddy Lee screaching for dear life? That's my reaction to Steely Dan vocals. I take nothing away for the musicianship of the band but that voice is terrible. "do it again" to this day is the only song of theirs I can enjoy.

Such a good album it deserves its own thread. "Walk of Life" always reminds me of The Heavy Fuel Crew. Money for Nothing reminds me of the pothead that used to bring his boombox on the high school bus. He'd play that song and Crazy Train over and over.

This CD got heavy listening when I was in college. So Far Away always reminds me of my now-wife who had to go back to California for the summers. the first time she left I cried in my dorm room and got a horrendous nose bleed.

The album will be 35 years old next year!

Bully Hendry would have signed Harper for 2.5 Billion over 30 years
