[Music] Favourite music "artist" who you know is s**t

[jcdenton08]

Do me a solid, you know what I'm going for here with the spirit of this thread, so don't post "Led Zeppelin" or "Queen" or something which is generally considered good.

I'll kick it off with Katy Perry

Can't sing, not particularly attractive, songs are shit commercial fluff. Love it.

I think Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays is by some margin the worst "singer" I've heard - and if he appeared on 'Britains Got Talent' as such he'd be laughed off stage... He's absolute dogshit as a singer.

However, they knocked out some banging classics. Go figure.

Kylie

 

[Weststander]

Simon Le Bon.

My favourite band in the 90s. Even Yes Please is a great album (IMO) regularly played in this house still. I just can’t watch/listen to them live anymore

Struggling here, I can’t think of anyone I like who I’d consider shit.

I’ll keep thinking

Shame it’s not a thread about artists who others love who I think are shit, I could wade into that one

Can I mention America's newest Jailbird?

Actually all R&B is crap so that has nailed a fair few 'artists'

You are old enough to know that PROPER and genuine R’nB is bloody fantastic

Charlotte Gainsbourg. A surprisingly extensive back catalogue and a real mixed bag of largely rubbish music. But she entrances me.

A mate of mine had her staying at his Gite de France for a week and he was also entranced by her. His wife was not amused

I would recommend Big Iron and Billy the Kid off the same album.

Oooh. If she ever needs a sofa bed in Shoreham, do get her to PM me.

Not your classic beauty but has a certain artistic, Gaelic charm. And she reeks of allure.

Added both to this evening's playlist. Ta very much.

Jonny Otis, Little Richard, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and even by the far end of the spectrum Jimi Hendrix are all favourites of mine.

Not to mention the fact the Stones/Cream/Led Zep all did R&B stuff (usually ripped off from the original artists of course)

What 'R&B' is now described as in 2022 is a complete bastardisation of the original concept.

But despite loving all of the previous artists I am racist according to some on NSC, hey ho...

Maybe she should use it more sparingly.
