You can think what you like about bands being shit, as long as you accept that pothers will disagree.

This might help you to relax about it

You know what? It's not so much that they are shit (although they are) it's more the middle-aged women getting so damn excited over them that really bugs me.

They are just some middle-aged men with a very small amount of singing talent (well, two of them have no talent in that area but it sort of evens out over the band).

Plus, since Robbie has come back, they are just a bit of an embarrassment.

I was way too cool to have liked them the first time 'round Grin

Now I just think they look like a bunch of podgy builders sweating like pigs on stage while miming naffola Barlow-penned fraffery.

Absolute shite.

My sentiments exactly Foxy. My friends at work have been to see them and it sounds to me like it's now the Robbie show with Take That as back up singers (surprised Robbie managed to stay sober for it). I'm in the minority at work and on facebook so come here to let off steam. Thanks.

Little Marky Owen and Jason ate-all-the-chocolate-Orange are the other two.

Thanks for reminder LineRunner. Okay:
Owen - ponce
Orange - complete and utter douchebag

Jason Orange's cousin was on Blind Date once and they went on about it like it actually meant something.

I think YABU. I don't like Take That, don't understand the fuss and would never pay to go and see them. However they must have something about them to have a consistently large following and friends who have seen them say they put on a stonking live show. If they were fucking shit they wouldn't be filling stadiums.

I always prefer to say that things aren't my bag after years of parents sneering 'What's this pile of shite' at TOTP and any music that wasn't their taste. One woman's shit is another's musical passion.

YANBU.

The chubby one that can't dance.
The weasly alcoholic that cheats on his wife.
The pock-marked faced one.
The one that came back when is own career nosedived.
The fifth one I can never remember.

They are a pile of wank. I am the only person amongst my group of friends that hasn't paid ridiculous amounts of money to go and see them and never would. In fact, if I was given a free ticket I still wouldn't go.

How very dare you ...!! Shock

I heart them all. But then as a middle-aged woman I am their target audience. Grin

(NB: I don't like them that much that I'd part with my hard-earned cash to see them live, though!)
