To really dislike Keane

Their music is dull and the singer has the face of a baby on a grown man's body.

Why will they not just go away?!

Their first album was fab and their new stuff isn't that bad. No idea what they look like though...

YABU
I love Keane, the first album was fantastic.
Who would you rather listen to then, OP?

imnotmymum · 06/05/2012 10:11

YABU but the first album was better than all of them I agree. Go on Charlton tell us your music of choice

SandStorm · 06/05/2012 10:12

For those of you that like them, they're playing here in July. They did it a couple of years ago - I didn't go then because they don't do much for me personally but apparently it was a great show.

I used to be indifferent to them until I messed up the synching of my iPhone and lost the majority of my music apart from Keane and a pirate party album just before a long journey , now I can't stand them!!!

CharltonHairstyle · 06/05/2012 10:19

Nooo! My DP likes them, too.

The singer has a really smug face...I can hear his smugness through their songs!Grin

trixy I think it was indifference to begin with, then when DP started listening to them (and forcing them
Upon me) it made my ears want to close up

trixymalixy · 06/05/2012 10:26

God yes, I can hear the smugness too!!

Megatron · 06/05/2012 10:29

I loved the first album. I'd rather listen than watch though. What do you listen to then OP?

CharltonHairstyle · 06/05/2012 10:37

mega My music tastes have taken a regression and I'm back to listening to Abbey Road and such...I did have The Wu-tang Clan on the other day though Grin

I can't stand The Kaiser chiefs.

I dislike Kasabian.

Fucking hate Coldplay.

YANBU.

insancerre · 06/05/2012 10:42

I love Kasabian, the Kaiser Chiefs and early Coldplay Grin
I can't stand Take That, lady Gaga, Jessie J, Cheryl Cole, The Wanted, and most of the music that everyone else seems to like

trixymalixy · 06/05/2012 10:43

Yy to early Coldplay, the latest stuff is as mind numbingly dull as Keane though. I was also listening to the Wu Tang Clan the other day!!

takingiteasy · 06/05/2012 10:45

YANBU they are as dull as ditchwater and Travis.

imnotmymum · 06/05/2012 10:46

love early coldplay ! Is it just me or do Jessie J and Katie Perry sound the same

CharltonHairstyle · 06/05/2012 10:46

God, I saw The Kaiser Chiefs at a corporate event (speaks volumes) - no prizes for guessing they were as dull as dishwater

AmazingBouncingFerret · 06/05/2012 10:54

Oh I really hate Take That.

I don't really like the others either.

thereinmadnesslies · 06/05/2012 11:05

YABU Keane are amazing Grin

Leavetheguntakethecannoli · 06/05/2012 11:08

I went to see them in concert despite not being a big fan and they were really, surprisingly, excellent. I've liked them ever since even though the singer does definitely have the baby face/adult body thing you refer to. They are ace but definitely not cool or edgy but good at what they do.

blonderthanred · 06/05/2012 11:14

Yanbu, I saw an ad yesterday for their new album and just thought, dear god, why?

Agree coldplay are dire too. I suspect most of their fans are middle aged and trying to be cool. You know, the same people that wear converse shoes with m.&s bootcut jeans and Cath kidson satchel's.

INeverFinishAnythi · 06/05/2012 12:14

YABU to have not used the much more obvious thread title '...to not be keen on Keane?' Wink

I have not really heard their stuff apart from Hopes & Fears album, which I loved.

parno · 06/05/2012 12:18

No you are not. We have always called him China doll face. They is roobash. Love the comment takingiteasy. I concur.
