The original request for a Classic rock forum was knocked back about about a year of campaigning, and that was 3 years ago. So what changed?

I believe he was threatening to display his "wares" in Eyre Square again, resulting in the Regulators threatening to close the site down. The powers that be decided to accede to his demands - the Classic Rock Forum is only the first one - you should see the rest of his list...

http://culturethoughts.com/2012/05/22/the-five-stages-of-classic-rock-fandom/

Stage 1

AC/DC rules!
Zeppelin rules!
Collect fake vintage band t-shirts
Grow your hair to show how different you are from everyone else in your high school
Devour Rolling Stones singles, convince yourself that “Wild Horses” is the world’s greatest song
Start to believe that “The Joker” is criminally underrated

Stage 2

AC/DC sucks!
Discover the Beatles, wear out the red and blue albums.
Sour on the Stones
Believe “The Joker” is criminally overrated, delve in to Steve Miller’s deep cuts
Discover “Like a Rolling Stone”, listen to it 6,000 times
Realize that Elvis has more than 2 songs, but decide that only like, 5 are really good
Watch Pink Floyd’s “Live at Pompei” way too many times in friend’s basement while on questionable substances

Stage 3

AC/DC still sucks!
Listen to the “Exile on Main St.”, decide that, hey, the Stones are pretty good after all.
Realize that Zeppelin is soooo overplayed…and it’s all about The Who, anyway
(Then, listen to Tommy front to back, and excitedly delve into Quadrophenia…then go back to Tommy.)
Become too sophisticated for band shirts, donate them
“I am soooo sick of “Like a Rolling Stone!””
Get seriously in to Revolver; Declare that Paul McCartney is the best Beatle
Discover Fleetwood Mac
Prove your thoughtfulness, go through a Simon and Garfunkel phase
Hate yourself for delving into Steve Miller’s deep cuts
Hear “Almost Cut My Hair,” feel it is a truly tragic tale
Find out about The Cars, desperately seek out other good new wave bands
“Why did I JUST start listening to Queen???”

Stage 4

AC/DC: still sucks.
Listen to the Stones later stuff, sour on them again
See a Zeppelin cover band, fall in love with them again — for 3 days
The Who are so overplayed…it’s all about The Band
Listen to the Beatles early albums; discover Chuck Berry, realize the Beatles were not all THAT original in their early days…and HOLY CRAP did the Beach Boys ever rip off his riffs!
Declare that John Lennon is the best Beatle; get seriously in to Abbey Road
Get really into the Kinks, decide they might just be better than The Beatles
Discover how incredibly messed up Fleetwood Mac were
Prove your thoughtfulness, go through a Paul Simon – Graceland phase
Decide that Jefferson Airplane never gets their fair due
Cut your hair
Give up on finding other good new wave bands

Stage 5

Meh, AC/DC are okay… just kidding, they really suck.
Settle on the Stones being some good, some bad (a mixed blessing at best, like Lisa Simpson and Gary Coleman’s consensus on Christmas.)
The Band are still underplayed
Decide that no, the Kinks are not better than the Beatles; George Harrison is the best Beatle
Elvis is the king!
Decide that yeah, Jefferson Airplane is rated just about right
Ironically declare that Garfunkel is the best part of S & G
Seriously debate who was better, The Byrds or the Yardbirds
“Why did I JUST start listening to Motown???”
Decide that Rumours is the only Fleetwood Mac album you ever have to hear
Regret giving away your sweet band t’s
Never listen to your local classic rock radio station again after hearing April Wine’s “Roller” for the 1200th time.

I don't know why he hates ACDC so much.

Earthhorse

It's because they suck.
