Bands who were big, but shouldn't have been....

[Rich Suvner]

Audio Bullys -
take one simply boring beat, repeat, add shit lyrics or sample (not even cleverly edited or transformed)

 

[NMH]

St Winifreds School For Girls

You have to admit that their guitarist WAS amazing .

 

[NMH]

Rain tree crow ( Aka Japan)......................anyone?

Agreed, they were totally disappointing.
Japan had their moments, with some decent songs like Nightporter and Taking Islands in Africa - but they were otherwise awful and did loads of shite songs about China as if we cared about feckin' China forfuxsake. Richard Barbieri is now a member of the brilliant Porcupine Tree though, and they RULE!

The Smiths - Morrisey's wailing vocals and lyrics to make you suicidal. Which leads on to Joy Division/New Order for much the same reason (obviously Morrisey didn't sing for them though)

blur

'lives in a house,very big house in the cuntry'

what a cock

 

[Grendel]

U2 - Why? One trick ponies.

REM - All sounds the same after 1993.

Spot on with both, though I'd also add that almost all REM's early output was absolute dross.

 

[Mtoto]

Manic Street Preachers.

Had some talent in the early days.

Until it jumped off the Severn Bridge.

 

[Shegull]

Big "B" for Boyzone

 

[Storer68]

Unlike a Bob Dylan set which is is usually.


"Feck me, I never recognised that
