DOCTORIN` THE TARDIS STARTED A RAP CRAP REVOLUTION

About time I thought that I write about a piece of music that I dont like, instead of something I think is at least mediocre or

better. 

Going back to 1988, when I was just 13 years old and knee high to a grasshopper, the music landscape was dominated by soft metal bands with members who needed a haircut, if someone in the street would have come along and asked me have you heard of `Salt and Pepper`, I would have said - yeah,

the stuff you put on your rump steak or fried eggs.

If that person would`ve been wearing baggy pants and riding a skateboard chances are they would have been talking about an R&B group which sprung that year with a very lewd song called `Push It`.

Salt and Pepper was one of the first groups which `industrialised` popular music, and in my opinion, they took the heart and soul out of music more than any other band in that year. 

You can see in retrospect that mid 1988 was the exact time when a lot of crossover R&B acts were sneaking into the rock chart

for the first time. 

It was a bit like Johnny Rotten sneaking up
on a Chinaman. Up until 1988, the 80`s Top 40 chart was always full to the brim with anything but LA gang bands who sung openly about having sex, bashing people up for fun or how many people they had shot in their lifetime. 

If you ask me, it all went down hill after Salt and Pepper released the song `Push It`, it was the catalyst for a myriad amount of

other gang music to come along over the next decade plus.

One band which I am not accusing of being a band of thugs, but who I would accuse of making the most irritating song of all time, is the Timelords. 

I have never watched an episode of Dr. Who in my life, science fiction blah blah is just

not my thing. I am not sure why The Timelords bothered to record `Doctorin` The Tardis`, well I do know, because the song was obviously tacked to a Dr. Who soundtrack at some point, maybe some Tardis geek out there can tell me if it was written for a Dr. Who movie or just the TV series.

Anyway, Doctorin` The Tardis gives me the shits, I cannot stand the song, and just like Salt and Pepper`s `Push It`, the reason for that is because the song had a deliberately

manipulated and industrialised feel to it. 

No other band in the 80`s had ever gone to the lengths The Timelords did to remove all trace of blues, soul and anything else of musical substance out of their sound. 

The Timelords, as well as the other one hit wonder band Salt and Pepper, were the very

first bands to make popular music industrialised and nothing more than a mere commodity. Give me Poison anyday.
