YANBU You are righter than a right thing! I haven't heard of a lot of these randomers either.

Five minute wonders. [sniff]

I never said I didn't like them - just that I have NO IDEA who some are lol

Ben Howard is brilliant. Saw him at Bestival last year and looking forward to seeing him again at the Isle of Wight festival in a few months,when I will be 60.

YABVVVVVVVVVVU when I am 37. <glares>

YAABVVVVVVU to have not heard of any of them. I also listen to Radio 1 and have heard of them all <gavel>.

I am off to a family festival this year and everything. <tries to look cool> <fails>

The XX are brilliant! Blasphemy if I ever heard it!!

Also, Ben Howard is very good too Why are you picking on the ones that are genuinely good?!

I'm 42 nearly 43 and I've heard or them all but I do listen to Radio 1.

Now, let's not say things we don't mean. Muse are amazing. I have seen them live 13 times so I know this to be true. Coldplay...best live act? No!

I'm 29 and I have heard of all of these people.

You are 23 and like buble? Young lady you need help!
I am 38, have heard of all of them and don't like any of them, although I would listen to call me maybe on loop for the next 100 years before I would listen to a buble song.

I'm 45 and I've heard of all of them. Seen quite a few live too. I listen to 6 music, have a teenage son I go to festivals with, a music-writer nephew who tells us about cool bands (I was listening to Alt-J for months before the album came out), and 10yo DD regularly inflicts Taylor Swift YouTube videos on me. But we all hate One Direction.

Yanbu, I'm 25 and have no clue either, and I listen to the radio a lot.

sorry "teenage kicks" bloody hell that was BADDDD

Arrrrghhhhhhhh!!! FTF are they doing to " One way or Another".

Please please stop them "Nah nah nah"

I loooooove Muse and I'm gutted they didn't get best British Live Act. Why Coldplay,why??? Oh and I'm 48. Haven't heard of Ben Howard, but heard of most of the rest. Can't bear One Direction,though.

YANBU. I'm also 23 and haven't bleeding clue. Heard of about half of the people you've mentioned couldn't successfully match up a song to an artist though, but to be honest, I don't care! I like music, I'll listen to what is on, and that's where my relationship with it ends!

I am reserving brain space for other things, like where I've put my keys, whether or not I switched the hob off and where my house is. These things are already too crowded out!

The Jessie Ware album is lush, it really is worth a listen. DH put it on just after DS was born and I sobbed the whole way through <hormonal>

For what it's worth I'm not watching!!!

I turned the TV on, saw someone I thought was Michael Buble performing, James Corden announced that it was Justin Timberlake, and I had to turn the show off in disgust at my own ignorance.

I am 34 and have listened to Radio 2 for far too long, obviously.

I don't HAVE a "taste" in music, that's my downfall.

I will honestly listen to everything. I love showtunes, rap,classical, rock, classic rock, funk, pop, grunge, metal, acoustic, christian rock, country... the list could go on! The only thing I'm against is the really monotonous thud-thud-thud club music, but even then I've got some exceptions!

*crap should read questionable...

Dd is 11 and doesn't know who half of them are.

LOL Margrat you have crap taste in music! You and your generation!

Hey, nothing wrong with Bublé! I like my Rizzle Kicks too y'know

LOL you like Bublé, that's your problem, you are listening to awful cheesy tunes....

I do like him being interviewed though, he's very personable.

I AM FOURTY-FUCKING-THREE AND I'VE HEARD OF ALL OF THEM.

Just sayin

Yes they do, it's in their genes!
I must admit I wouldn't be able to tell you the names of any one direction or taylor swift songs but I have at least heard of them.
