i8hibsh Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Pink Floyd Radiohead Muse Oasis ELO ACDC Iron Maiden ACDC is a good call. A few utter belters of tunes but hate when people say they love ACDC but can only name like 4 songs. No you don't. You (like me) love a handful of their songs and that is it.

Gershwin Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Chris Moyles is on Radio X these days (been there for around 18 months) and it's a very good show. The music played on the station is decent and other shows are worth a listen too. Such a terrible radio station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Such a terrible radio station. I like it. The shows by Clint Boon, Johnny Vaughan, Gordon Smart, Toby Tarrant and Vernon Kaye all appeal to my taste. Regarding acts I don't get, I'd list Belle and Sebastian and Arab Strap. They both seem to have a dedicated following but just don't see the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Vaughan and that scumbag from The Sun, Gordon Smart, certainly are. Smart is a H1B5 **** too. Edit: Sorry Samuel, no reflection on your taste in music. They play a lot of stuff I like, but I'll stick to other stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (like me) love a handful of their songs and that is it. Can I throw in another band that everyone says they love but very few can name anything by them: The Ramones. Cool image and all that, but I can be bothered with about one track until I get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the Stereophonics ? can't stand them, don't understand their popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulus Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Agree with the earlier shout of the Foo Fighters - utter garbage barring There Is Nothing Left To Lose. Also cant stand Mumford and Sons, so uninspiring, total lack of charisma. Not a big lover of Guns N Roses, obviously have some influential songs but Axel's voice doesn't do it for me.

There's still a huge amount of talent goes into producing lots of electronic music. It's still the creation of music, regardless of whether you actually play a guitar yourself. The most innovative music this century, and arguably the 90s has all been electronic. Nothing worse than indie or Brit-pop fans sneering at other types of music when half the shit they listen to is recycled garbage. I say that as someone who likes a decent amount of that type of music as well. Not all that post aimed at you btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just always came over as a sanctimonious preacher, a sort of precurser to Bono. Mind you him playing with the Pogues at the Barrowlands was some gig.

zoltan socrates Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 A lot of my mates around my age (either side of 50) get all frothy over The Smiths and talk as if Morrisey was the second coming. I just don't get it. Don't hate them but never bought any of their stuff and never turned up the radio or hi-fi if it came on. Just another background band. Did I miss something? Did they break new ground anywhere? What difference does it make? How soon is now?

Pans Jambo Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Bruce Springsteen. I really like how he comes across, enjoy watching him talk, read his autobiography and reckon it's one of the finest music books every written...and yet I rarely, if ever, enjoy listening to any of his music. Comes across as plodding, American, rock with 80s sounding synths. Phillistine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
