to think Take That are fucking shit...

[dolldaggabuzzbuzz]

...and always have been?

Maybe it's too middle class to suggest Bon Iver is infinitely superior to TT...

YANBU, I can't stand them!!

baguettecut and poppygolucky Spot on.

I quite like them. i think Gary Barlow is very talented, don't know much about the others.
But I haven't been to a concert of theirs and the first album I ever bought was Ken Dodd and the second was the Nolans, so I think my taste in music is rather flawed. (In my defence I was about 7)

They are shit, but I fancy Jason Orange something rotten

I have been a bit disappointed by their more recent stuff, it doesn't hold a candle to the more classic songs like back for good.

dolldaggabuzzbuzzziggetyzag, YANBU to think they're anodyne pap for the zombified masses, but YABU to say it out loud and make people feel bad about their taste in music. I'm sure we all have embarrassing CDs in our collections....(high end of low? )

I’ve found my people! Hated them since I was a teen in 94/95!

You took your time, coolhwip

Not fucking shit. But overrated for sure.

THIS THREAD IS TEN YEARS OLD!!!

I was a squeeze too young to be involved in the original TT mania. I remember all the footage of crying and fainting fans being dragged off by big security blokes

Do people still cry and faint over boy bands? I feel like this doesn't happen any more? If not, why not??

I'm opposed to all the desperate, resurrected bands. What's that other one? The Boyzone/West Life hybrid? BoyzLife? Makes me want to curl up and die of cringe.

THIS THREAD IS TEN YEARS OLD!!!

Yet still completely accurate

Sorry all popped up in my Google results and got carried away!

I wonder if the K-pop bands get all the fainting now?!

@HelpMeh 5ive? Busted?

Never been a huge fan, but that doesn't mean I won't happily sing along if it comes on the radio.

I once new a girl who was TT mad. She went to see them once and ended up pissing herself because she didn't want to miss anything. No shame whatsoever about it. Crackers she was!

Ahhh fuck, I've been Zombied.

As you were....

Gary Barlow writes brilliant songs, full of meaning and sentiment. 'What is Love?' being an example. In fact I think I'll play it now.

McFly and Take That have something of The Beatles in the sense that each of their songs has its own landscape and mood; feelings match harmonies perfectly.
