Symposium might just be the worst imo, but the relentless coverage in the NME didn't help either.

I'm sure I remember a feature where they compared the on-stage smashability of various guitars. That's rock, that is.

cable, tribute to nothing, bivouac, symposium belong in this list. paradise lost don't, nor do all the acts that made it bigger in the 00s (muse, feeder etc)

agreed.
Is much of this stuff available on Spotify?
I would Grokk a playlist of this stuff.
entitled "sharing is turned off"
maybe it can be a project of mine after I've moved house.

Would expect it all to be on spotify. I think the old Kerrang britrock compilations were on there but don't know if they still are

Ricky Warwick and Tony Wright announce July “Acoustic On Tour”
that might be the single most depressing sentence i've ever read
― what makes a man start polls? (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 13:41 (ten years ago) link
Naw that would be "Ricky Warwick touring in Thin Lizzy replacing Phil Lynott"
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 13:44 (ten years ago) link
depending on who's in the Lizzy lineup that would still be more entertaining than Acoustic On Tour
