Awful bands

[peoffrey]

Bollox era Pistols was superb and still stands up well today 35 years on.

The rest of the rubbish that carried their name was just pissabouts that should never have seen the light of day (My Way/Something Else and all that carp).

Let me elaborate.

Sex Pistols were awful because they were supposed to be awful. The idea of punk was to be against everything else - to be the opposites. And how can you be opposite to cleanly produced pop music? That's right: be the worst you possibly could be. They played guitars out of tune, hired a guy that couldn't even play bass and made sure their singer was grottiest, snarliest, most disgusting human being on the planet. Their influence is unquestionable, and they are arguably one of the most important bands of all time, but they were awful because they were manufactured to be just that.

Sid Vicious was a worse human being that Johnny Rotten. Lydon (to give him his real name) is now a very wealthy individual with property who is about as Punk Rock as David Cameron.

this is going to sound strange, but I gave up on most music a long time ago.

I found almost everything in the past couple of decades to be repetitive, uninspiring, souless and talentless. However, in hindsight I was probably just not exposed to the right type of music.

I still don't like a lot of stuff that is in the charts, but I do have a softspot for bands like Mumford and Sons.

As for awful, its very subjective.

I could never really understand the love for bands like Oasis (some excellent songs, a lot very dull), or Keane, Kasabian, and as for the likes of Blink 182 mentioned above, I cannot stand them.

I've always liked the likes of the Beatles, the stones, probably influenced by my old man, and enjoy the likes of Ry Cooder, The Band, Tom Waits. Not sure why, the music just appealed to me.

My sister is a musician, however, and is very snobbish when it comes to music, I think maybe she had an impact on my attitude, either by making me more selective, or by complaining so much about popular music that I got bored of her whining and stopped listening to it.

That my young friend is also known as getting old.

Rubbish. My Mate's Dad was in his late 50's yet going to see Moby in concert.

Leave him alone. He's a cool teetotal, vegan Christian.
