Music, who should we like

[Icy Gull]

It seems that some big bands are RUBBISH and we need to know who it's cool to really really dislike even though they are massive worldwide.

I need to know who's albums I should be binning or deleting from Itunes as it worries me that I'm not cool enough and I want to up my street cred on here and out and about when I drive really slowly down the high street with the music turned up to max.

So lets be having a list of who's SHITE, RUBBISH, BLAND but popular and should be laughed at at or sniggered at.

Thanks

It is also because of their huge status no matter what anyone says. If they were a band selling 500 records playing at the Concorde all thetrendies on here who slag them off would be raving about them and that is a FACT.

Scouting for Girls

I remember when Coldplay were a so called SMALL band and I thought they were RUBBISH back then.

 

[Icy Gull]

But which band are you talking about? If it's Coldplay then surely EVERYONE knows by now that their shit, the ones in the know have explained that to us already.

Coldplay
The Feeling
Scissor Sisters
The Fratellis
James Blunt
The Fray
Nickleback
Jack Johnson

Take your pick from the Radio 1 play list...

If you like it who gives a shit? There are too many too cool for school folk in this town who will tell you what they think is and isn't cool to listen to. I've been to some of the so called cooler places in Brighton to see the supposed cream of the new and exciting talent and for the most part they are scenester wankers.

Can't go wrong with some Tom Waits or Chris Cornell in my opinion.

Blandness appeals to the majority, it's an indisputable fact.

Wehen I were but a lad there were three distinct types of music of the radio. Pop, (Sweet, Slade, Mud etc.) Disco (anything from Motown, Stax to the Bee Gees) and Progressive Rock, (Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and so on).

God help anybody who liked music from more than one genre ! Frankly music is a matter of personal preference so like what you like and let others enjoy what they like.

Is Brighton still one of the worst places in the country for a decent atmosphere at gigs? Haven't been to one for years but it always used to be that the Brighton audiences were too cool to get involved and therefore nearly all concerts, even from good musicians, were a disappointment as the Brighton audiences tended to lean back and be saying "Come on then, entertain me but don't expect me to be so uncool as to let you know I'm enjoying it"

There is an element of that at some gigs.

It depends which gigs.

I went to see The Cribs YONKS ago when they were just emerging. Was a cracking gig. A year or two later at the Concorde the same band attracted a load of mulleted scenesters and it was rubbish.

I only listen to minimal techno and dubstep nowadays.

Henrik Schwarz is a bad boy.

ah... i see, so what is good is measured as the inverse to what radio one plays? good to see critical thought has gone in to this.

Is the right answer.

I went to see Bon Jovi a couple of days ago, and they're certainly not considered 'cool'. They are, however, my favourite band, I love their music and I think they are absolutely fantastic live.

I refuse to allow that opinion, or my likes or dislikes of any other artists or musical genres to be swayed by what is or is not seen as being 'cool'.

I've really got into Nickelback lately, but I'm regretting it now because I've been told that apparently they are in fact utterly SHIT. Shame, as I thought their album All The Right Reasons was actually pretty decent.

I'll probably have to go back to some of my old Aerosmith stuff instead, as long as they're still acceptable.

I know I'm gonna regret this..any chance of a youtube link to this, I'm guessing, great music?

 

[Nibble]

Nickleback always sounded to me like those guys who go on X factor shows and try to do rock. Badly. You should check out some Soundgarden or Pearl Jam to see how angst rock should be done!

Regardless of what music you play, if you drive down the high street with the music 'up to the max' you are always going to be laughed at.

OH yeah, doorskins in and out with the bass and it's a really nice spoilered and lowered Vauxhall Corsa with great paintwork. No-one laughs they're too busy putting their hands over their ears.

The only two from that list I genuinely can't stand are the Fray and Nickelback.
