Beast Boy Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Everyone has different tastes, I suppose. You’ll never get consensus on a thread like this. For me though: STARSAILOR The Script The Feeling Scouting for Girls All that time and effort learning music, and practising guitar and drums etc... and you then spend your time making maudlin melancholy shite, or meaningless pop chunder. In saying that, many people would feel that way about what I like too, so... 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Kings of Leon's first album was great but they quickly became shite after that. I'll add Klaxons, Maccabees, The View, Vampire Weekend, Razorlight, the Ordinary Boys and any other posing, pretty boy, half arsed indie pish. I would include the Libertines but they get a pass because of their first album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Every boy band, rap act and Ed Sheeran and most of useless disposable pop that gets Grammied and Britted up is a given, but there should be a special place in hell for Simply Red. Also the so called Beautiful South tormented me on Virgin radio when a student in the early 90s. I could add U2, Blur and Coldplay, and other darlings of Glasto.

frankblack Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I don't hate non-manufactured bands, but nowadays these auto-tuned talentless pop stars are utter shite. A number listed above by Victorian. Why do so many white female singers sound like they are Jamaican, and likewise for the black London singers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Radiohead and Pink Floyd. DSotM is a masterpiece as is OK Computer. Muse are also pretty good, my bro' has seen them live and was impressed with the whole gig.

Janbo1874 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Coldplay Queen The two bands that would make me turn the radio off if I ever listened to a station that would play them.
