The music press always rave about Arcade Fire: they are utterly without merit as far as I can tell. Emperor's New Clothes. They sound like New Order, you say? Not in their wildest dreams with a 60ft pole. Finking, frugging, hippy-dip, tuneless shite. I feel the same about Editors and Mumford & Sons. Pasty, sweaty men with guitars and limited record collections, the lot of them; whenever I hear them I channel Adam Ant pulling a huge jukebox plug out of the wall in the Antmusic video.

Thank you for allowing me to get this off my chest Grin

All the U2 hate :(

The Beatles
Muse
FOTM

I think it's funny that One Direction keeps being mentioned.. does anyone over the age of 16 actually like them?

TheAccidentalExhibitionist · 05/06/2013 18:53

Who is FOTM?

Sallystyle · 05/06/2013 18:56

Coldplay
Kings of Leon
Jessie J

I've tried to like Lana Del Rey but am failing. She just seems so fond of herself. Radiohead think they're a lot cleverer than they are. DH has put me off Red Hot Chilli Peppers by pointing out how discordant all the guitar parts are.

Lakota · 05/06/2013 19:09

Oh God, yes Jessie J.
And any god awful boy/man bands. Never liked Take That the first time around, even less so the second. Boyzone even worse. Any of that housewife shite where a man wears a suit and gets up of a stool.

Lakota · 05/06/2013 19:11

off a stool, even.
And whilst Michael Buble seems like a good sort, I don't want to hear him sing unless it's Russian Unicorn (see YouTube)

TheAccidentalExhibitionist · 05/06/2013 19:12

Anything that has a key change Grin

Jellykat · 05/06/2013 19:17

I like a lot of these named on here, apart from Mumford and Arcade fire.

The band i simply don't get at all, no way, no how, and who seem to be revered in the music business are The XX.. My god, sooo boring!

TheAccidentalExhibitionist · 05/06/2013 19:30

Rod Stewart, why? What is the point?

Selba · 05/06/2013 19:36

agree with theaccidentalexhibitionist re Rod Stewart.
he is just a creepy older bloke

superbagpuss · 05/06/2013 22:07

so that awful up all night to get lucky song is daft punk? that song is truly awful!

YokoUhOh · 06/06/2013 07:33

Get Lucky by Daft Punk is brilliant. Chic legend Nile Rodgers and sexy Pharrell Williams: I love it. I'm delighted that disco is back, it's truly pop perfection.

Rod is a tricky one. Young Turks, anything he did with The Faces = brilliant. Everything else = not so much. Sailing = dire.

I do love Baby Jane though Grin
