List 6 big name Bands/Singers you never got into.

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Having gone through this thread, it’d be simpler to give the few bands that you rate.

I’ll try and think of a few not mentioned yet.

Kings of Leon - Hate his voice

Oasis- Totally overhyped ( Like U2 are)

Michael Jackson - Just not my music

Elton John - First single I bought as a kid was Yellow Brick Road. Albums up to that were decent. He went to shit after that though.

Marc Bolan - never got it.

Garth Brooks - Bringing the **** into Cuntry & Western

Oh my life, I agree with that Kings of Leon bit. I can't listen to his fucking voice. So fucking annoying.

Geldof was a dick too. Still is some say.
Johnny Rotten!
Seems to go with the territory.

I can’t hate Johnny. I just can’t. Plus I love PiL — the early experimental stuff and the later commercial stuff. Always been his own man even in old age.

Metallica
Motley Crew
Chris Rea
The Smith's
Pete Doherty
Bauhaus
Dexys Midnight Runners

Bauhaus is a good shout.

Over here, Dexy’s had one inconceivably irritating hit and then disappeared so I can’t hate them because they disappeared. It’s like hating A-Ha (plus I like that song).

True. The mix among thoughtful, funny and stupid responses is leaning exceedingly heavily in the wrong direction.

A urologist would have field day finding customers in desperate need of prostate exams here :)

 

[Blootoof]

U2
David Bowie
Pink Floyd
Rod Stewart
Van Morrison
Bruce Springsteen.

Floyd and Bowie are up there with the best concerts I've seen, especially Floyd. Seen Bowie a few times. Can't think of a list but I've never worked heavy metal out or rap music for that matter. I'm sure it sounds top to people that like it as music can be very(can't remember the word). I don't know, just don't get it as it all sounds the same 'to me'. Sayin that bavarian, you're probably thinkin the same.

"subjective"?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Marc Bolan - never got it.

Garth Brooks - Bringing the **** into Cuntry & Western

I get (but don't forgive and have made a mental note of all of the tossers on here putting The Smiths down in this thread...) why The Smiths have received a few nominations..... but Bolan?????
No way am I having that.

But Garth Brooks I get. If he isn't making shite snidy remarks about City in his weekly BBC column then he is turning out shite C&W songs too

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Bob Marley

REM...... with that irritating aye ee aye ee aye ee aye ee aye ee aye they seemed to put in every song.

Oh, and stand by your beds...... Adele's allegedly got some new stuff coming out. So get ready for the glib clichés from people in the know, about how AMAZING she is, and doesn't she look great after losing some weight. Well done, love, in cutting down your visits to the fridge. Now you've got more time to sit on your settee, stare into the middle distance and write songs about a 5 year old lost love, and delivering it in a pubsinger style.

 

[leithblue]

Adele - sounds like a hen night

Coldplay - posh twats being twats

Pink Floyd - also posh twats being twats

Dire Straits - tedious

Kraftwerk - tedious but with bleeps

Limp Bizkit - no explanation needed
