What new everyone raves about them new bands don't you really get?

[minxofmancunia]

For me it's Florence and the Machine, awful waily whiny voice and unforgivable cover of "you've got the love"

Also Mumford and Sons, irritating, too many bloody words, v commercial sounding faux hurdy gurdy music.

I didn't like Florence at first but she's grown on me. Still don't like the You've Got The Love cover though.
Same with Mumford and Sons. They've got a few good songs. I do like Winter Winds.

Shrieky Florence has yet to grow on me.

Ditto Florence.

The xx (get me with the lower case) sound really dull.
Mumford & sons sound a bit fake to me

The problem with being old (mid 40s) is that you really have heard so much stuff before. It's difficult to be impressed.

I always listen to a bit of whoever has won the Mercury prize. After Franz Ferdinand won I listened to several tracks of theirs and downloaded a few. With Speech Debelle I stood about 30 seconds. With the xx, I think I lasted just under a minute.

Plan B, can't get him at all. In what way is he good?

agree also with the XX, I listened to the album and felt like crashing my car on purpose!

Love the precision UQD of it being between 30 seconds and 60 seconds for the xx

I don't get any of this total shit that calls itself "grime" and never will.

Agree with Said - so many bands now sound very derivative whereas in the 70s & 80s there were genuinely new sounds.

I never though I would say it but the only recent stuff that really sounds refreshingly new to me is some rap music. Maybe because I didn't get into rap when it first started...

Oh thank god I'm not the one one who hates Florence with her wailing she is so irritating I have to turn her off the radio.
Also can't stand Tinie Tempah, Dizzee, Wiley or anyone else in the Grime camp. I hate Eminem, Kanye, Usher et al. Any x factor type mushy shite, David Guetta and the Kingd of Leon, I could go on...

Oh that's better!

who sings 'she's so lovely, she's so lovely' they suck big time.

Scouting for Girls? Ooh I like them they are very catchy and singy.

I really hate that Eliza Doolittle one 'Pack Up' but my son loves it and gets all excited when we dance to it so I have to just grit my teeth.

The Feeling as well = dreadful, pointless, bland.

Agree with Riven- Lady GaGa,- Up her own backside i reckon..

That stupid whistling song makes me what to scream.

I also don't much like Muse. I can't work out why - it just sounds like they worked out a mathematical formula for anthem type songs and that's now it for infinity.

UQD, try listening to I Am Kloot instead, they were nominated and they are pure northern class.

I've got the xx album I saw them live when they were new and thought they were interesting. 2 listens in I am totally bored with it.

Don't even get me on Scouting for Girls, they are a complete abomination, I have no idea why XFM play them all the time.

My top tips for new music are Kirsty Almeida and Graffiti6, check them out.

I don't like Florence either. I agreee the cover of You've got the love was bad but I hated the orignal anyway so hey ho!!!

I don't like Mumford and Sons although they are popular with teenagers round here. Why I don't know, I'm sure they are on constant replay on Mike Harding on radio 2!!

I hate stuff by NeYo and the like. Slimey shit it is!

Dizzy and Wiley make me smile and for ages I had 'Cash in my pocket' stuck in my head.
I have tried so hard to like Muse and I have failed miserably.

I don't mind Lady Ga Ga. She is what she is - pure catchy pop and I have been know to catch myself singing along to Poker Face from time to time.

I know some one mentioned Kings of Leon. I love them although they are hardly a new band. (although I still haven't a clue what Molly's Chambers is going on about!)

Again I have tried hard at liking Scouting..... My sons love them and I find them catchy and Roy seems quite nice BUT they don't quite hit the spot for me some how.
I don't know much about Plan B. What I'v heard had been Ok and I tried to get tickets for him but they were sold out.

I'm getting tickets for Band of Horses. Not brand new band but have a listen (and a watch) of this. There music was used on this vid.

Oh god Mumford and Sons - posh west country twats with jack Wills clothes on. What a crock og shit etc.

Ditto Ellie Goulding. Over produced folksy nonsense.

30 Seconds to Mars - overblown pompous rock, trying to be the new U2 or something.

Paramore - stop bloody shrieking.

That fucking hideous song by Cee Lo Green.

The Saturdays, they sound like cats, and Frankie Sandford's haircut really pissed me off.
I love grime music, and dubstep.

I nearly wet myself with excitement when Take That by Wylie came out - that was my favoutite song of the year.

I think I need to soup up my car and get blue lights for under the chassis etc.

To those saying Muse, in what way are they 'new' when their first album was released in 1999?

Florence + the machine ..... Fantastic. Mumford and sons......Boring.

But they're both years old.

Both only on their first album though so that counts as new I reckon.
