bands that don't do it for you

well i like u2 or i used to up to the joshua tree (bono is a bit of an arse but hey i just like the music)
i hate all the boy girl bands that do relentless covers....badly!
in fact i can't think of much in the last 5 years that i do like
hiphop rap garage junk
god there is a lot of awfull noise about blurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
never understood why the beatles where made into gods? overated in my opinion
never liked regae either
or jaz for that matter
as for grunge etc ?? whats all that about????
lets face it there is a lot of bollox out there

 

oasis, in fact the whole of that mid 90's brit pop thing. badly recorded, badly written recycled 60's pap. there are a few blur and pulp tunes i can listen to but the rest suck balls.
cheers

Richard Ashcroft is ok though,

 

I was about to write a reply disagreeing with you until I read Pulp and Blur.

I think with the mid 90's its very much a generational thing, I was at school when Pulp was really big and that will always add to the appeal for me. I am not sure if I would britpop as much if I didn't have the emotional attachments to it though.

Also it has to be better than the other crap that was around at the time.

 

by and large pulp are pretty good and blur have their moments too

 

Well, similar in the sense that they got screamed at by girls yes. But that's where it ends

Utter piffle :MILD:

 

Can't believe I've read through all this and no ones mentioned REM. A few good tunes but listening to a whole album is a painful test of self restraint. How are they so big? Is the Dad market that important?!

Chris...I'll give you a fiver for the Amy Winehouse album!

 

The same reason Oasis are so big - Hype.

 

After Gabriel they were just another pop band, Gabriel is the man, he is crackers though, but a bloody genius all the same, how they had the imagination to write the lab lies down on broadway, i'll never know, I know it was drugs, but it must have been some stash.

Could never get the beatles tbh, or this coldplay manics, muse etc, grugy spangly agnst wridden drivel written so students will buy it coz they belive they are individuals and no-one understands them, pure drivel, and modern R'N'B missy eliot and all that shite inc rap and modern hip hop.

 

lol,good point.Same reason Sting got big when everyone started buying modern lifestyle flats in old warehouses,they needed trendy background music

 

The Smiths - absolute garbage IMO.

Boyz 2 Men

Cream

String Quartets in general.

Oh and all those Scottish indie bands with twee melodies that remind me of Joe Pasquale after two months.

 

:yikes: You'll be telling me you don't like the Beatles either next.

You'll not be buying any Belle and Sebastian albums then

 

He speaks against the Proclaimers Tie him down for the midgies to feast.

 

Yeah, Smiths totall bollox, moaning dishwasher music, now with added wrinkles and nostalgar tours what joy

 

Never trust a person who doesn't like Woody Allen movies and never, ever trust a person who doesn't like the Smiths.

 

Better not trust me then ron.

 

What if you like some (mainly early) WA but ignore the Smiths?

 

I like Woody Allen movies but can't stand The Smiths. Utter cack, music to hang yourself by.

Michael.

 

I think the Smiths are funny ... unlike Woody Allen (or at least anything he's done in the last 30 years)

 

I like Woody Allen a lot (especially Love And Death, which is one of my favourite films ever), and I think the Smiths' first LP is quite good, but I can leave the rest of their records. Can I be trusted?
