[Marshy]

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yeah, that Pete Doherty is well cool.

f***ing SCAGHEAD.

 

[Soton Seagull]

1. Junkie
2. Ex- junkie
3. Hasn't realised he's not black, and can't sing. Smacks his bitch up though!

So much to aspire too

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I dont think Pete Doherty should be near the top. It is the NME getting wanky and romanticising it like some rock and roll legend because we dont have any actual legends in music at the moment.


If they are talking about whos cool in music, Ronnie Wood should still be in the top 50!

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

3. Hasn't realised he's not black...

 

[Wilka]

Its just an easy way for them to fill up there paper every week.

I've had enough of NME making a fuss over ordinary bands like The Kings of Leon or The Strokes while loads of good English bands stuggle on with little to no coverage.

NME = Smash Hits for indie kids

 

[Brighton Breezy]

What the f*** is Morrisey doing in it? I guess the NME are pining for the smiths.

Leila Moss and Abi Harding are two of the most perfect women you will ever see.

 

[alan partridge]

The kind of wanky thing I used to hate NME for.

Saw the libertines last night though, they were pretty good

 

[Soton Seagull]

And your point is?

Eminem is catchy enough, yet seems obsessed with something he isn't a part of, the deprived black american guns and gang culture.

 

[Meade's Ball]

That list has just made me angry.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Just because Eminem is white does not mean he is not part of that culture.

It is less a black culture, more a underclass culture of which Eminem used to be part of.

I agree though that once rappers make their millions it is hard for them to retain credibility because surely the motivation and inspiration is no longer there and they are no longer part of the scene.

 

[Albion Dan]

What a load of self indulgent crap. The NME really is a poor publication.

 

[CHAPPERS]

And your point is?

Eminem is catchy enough, yet seems obsessed with something he isn't a part of, the deprived black american guns and gang culture.

You what??

I do hope you aren't being completely thick and suggesting white americans (white people in fact) shouldn't make hip hop music.

 

[Soton Seagull]

You what??

I do hope you aren't being completely thick and suggesting white americans (white people in fact) shouldn't make hip hop music.

Personally I'd prefer it if no one did!

Each to their own.

44. Eddie Argos - Art Bru

Are the only people I would have included and NOT in the order the NME put them.

 

[attila]

THE NME is worse than Crystal Palace.
And their reserves.
The Libs are really good but that's the end of it. As Justin Sullivan of the great New Model Army once said:
Only stupid bastards use heroin
- and NME shouldn't be romanticising it

As for Eminem......!!!!!!!!!

 

[Albion Dan]

Who the f*** decides who is cool or not? GAYGAYGAYGAY Stop this thread right now!

 

[Wilka]

Their review of Embraces latest Album sums up NME for me. Rather than mentioning the music the bloke just had a little rant about them and gave a rating of 0/10.

Ok so alot of people may think Embrace are shite but if your going to review an Album you could actually mention the music in your review!

The review of the new Manics album was much the same.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I have old copies where they rave about Oasis but yet they slag them off now and say things like 'Brendan Flowers formed the band after being inspired by Oasis, but luckily that had no reflection on the killers music'

Fad loving tossers.
