Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollocks!
 

1st one that springs to mind for me is AC/DC :thumbdown:

Then there's Metallica, Megadeath, Marilyn Manson, Slipnot

Oh and the one and only James vomit Blunt :sick:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Did I forget to mention Coldplay?

- Coldplay :thumbdown:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

The Doors

Phil &^%^ing Collins and Genesis

INXS (ultimate shite)

Carlos Naffing Santana (Yes, I will send the CD ;))

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

I like all of them, well apart from Megadeath :lol: INXS, Paul McCartney alone and with fricking Wings, Radiohead, Jay Z, Beyonce, most rap 'artists', Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, ELO, The Smiths, The Stone Roses. Probably more but they'll do to be going on with. :D

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Fu Fighters
Celine Dion
Cliff Richard
Amy Winehouse
U2 - double shite and double vomit

Thats all I can think of for now.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Bugger, forgot The Doors and Genesis. I'll have it. :lol:

Edit: Depends which one it is.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Going by your previous post who gives a toss what you like? No Hendrix? No Joplin? No, to a lesser extent, Stone Roses? :ohmy:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Elvis, how could I forget 'The King' :eek:

Oh and Eric Crapton.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Elvis is always skip-worthy ... the OH loves him but not me ...

Clapton was best on drugs with a Les Paul in his hands ;)

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Someone's a bit grumpy tonight.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

I just have a low tolerance for anyone without a soul I guess.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Dire Straits were aptly named IMO. I reckon Knopfler really was shite and thats a rarity for me to call a muso crap.

Most of AC/DC's stuff leaves me cold as does Black Sabbaths..... Although I couldnt bring myself to call them shite.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

One Direction?
Tinchy Stryder?
Abba?
The Beatles?

and mostly Pink Floyd :frown:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

1/ Coldplay
2/ U2
3/ Coldplay
4/ U2

5/ is a tie between Coldplay and U2

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

:huh:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

:thumbup:

U2 were brilliant first 4 albums or whatever. Can't stand them now.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

oasis, bogan **nts

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Led Zep - Pretentious, overblown, college rockers.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

ooooh yes, and those F#$kin Foo Fighters are sh!t too!

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

I'd agree with that for all albums after Led Zep IV, however the first four albums have completely shaped rock ever since

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

OK, I'll give you that. Like most bands, their earlier stuff is OK.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

:thumbup:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

....with the exception of a few songs from those later albums (Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, Custard Pie & Fool in the Rain)

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Love Kashmir. Not a fan of the album Presence or In through the Out Door.

I hate Bryan Adams.

Went to a Robert Palmer concert once (only because someone bought me tickets) was incredibly boring.

Only Elvis song I really like is Suspicious Minds.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

I'm a drummer, so most of Bonham's really good stuff is on those later albums, but other than that the albums are pretty average

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

And Status Quo doing the Coles ad.

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Hmmmm.... people I dont rate who are generally highly rated?:

J.S. Bach? Genious - Perhaps, certainly *interesting* music (given his historical context) and very very cerebral.... but I find it emotionless. I'll play Bach from time to time - but in the same way as I'll play scales, arpegios and Kreutzeror Hannon studies and excercises - if it doesnt grab the soul its not Music.... Too much of Bachs music is like complex algebra - intriguing, unquestionably well thoguht out but exhausting to 'think through; without any real emotional pay-off. (I've heard stuffy 'died-in-the-wool' baroque freak musicians claim that I must be a completely uneducated philistine to not realise that Bach *is* god when it comes to music... pfffft)

W.A. Mozart - Far far lesser extent than JSB above - but still I dont get the 'genius' of Mozart beyond that fact that his output was prolific even from a silly young age. Some of his stuff is quite nice... some even moderately powerful - but Mozarts music will never have the emotional pull for me that he clearly manages to evoke in other people.... For me musicians really woke up in the 19th century and started to make *real* MUSIC!

Charlie Parker - Ok so I'm no Sax player... and really no Jazz freak either, but when Miles Davis was being the coolest guy in town and making timelessly awesome cool jazz, Parker (who is revered as a god in the jazz world) - seems to me to be just bubbling away with stuff that spoils the mood.... I guess that "Be-bop" jazz thing just isnt my scene?


.... and then of course plenty of other mentioned above in the thread
Clapton - a LOT of very dull output - but a couple of OK songs over the years. Totaly agree he needed the drugs to do anything even vaguely interesting.
Oasis - Massively overrated in my opinion, far less creative and compelling than their peers Blur, who managed to be quite entertaining.
....could probably think of plenty of others who I regard as a disappointment across a wide variety of styles if I put my mind to it.



Obviously aussie bogan rock is trash - but nobody other than aussie bogans tries to pretend otherwise.....

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Queen.....No not you Commonwealth;)

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

They're good if you fancy a kip

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

You can't include U2, a lot of there stuff must be good as they cover absolutely everybody!

Any list with overblown rockers, must include Rush:thumbdown:

Cooler

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

:blink: :ohmy:

Bach maybe..although maybe you're playing it wrong...

But Mozart?! Really? *thud*

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

are you trying to suggest that Mozart had a really big penis?

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Well I couldn't say exactly but by all accounts he knew how to use what he had ;)

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

Stunned at Mozart too. :blink:

Used to play to my kids when they were little. They listen to Linkin Park now :lol:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

yeah, but how many top ten hits did he get?

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

He was above all that. :D

- The Who. :thumbdown:

Re: Musicians/bands you think are $hite whilst others think they are the dogs bollock
 

I dont doubt I'm playing it wrong - I cant find a way to make it sound musical and have always always struggled more with Bach than any other composers work.... but then to my ears nobody else manages to inject adequate musicality into Bach either! (Possible exception of a few jazz musicians who manage to inject some feeling into otherwise 'dry' material - but then is that still Bach?)


and I did say Mozart to a far far lesse extent. I dont have a problem particularly with Mozart - I just think the adoration is a little OTT.. He produced some OK stuff and there is a kind of purity and simplicity to a lot of his composition that others in the same era didnt quite manage to achieve.... but he did produce some really dull background music too... and music didnt really get expressive and emotional until the Classical ("C" not "c") period was well and truly over.
