Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

also joss stone album is amazing

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

yeah the scissor sisters is good. 'The Skins' is awesome.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Quite liked 'Laura' but I could never, ever buy the album on principle because of the whole 'Comfrotably numb' thing. I heard like 2 beats and chucked the earphones away from me, it was too much...

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

i hated comfortably numb more than ever.
but i think it was all done for attention.
still cant believe they were allowed to get away with it.
but live they are fantastic that did it for me.
still i will never forgive for that comfortably numb debarkle....


well maybe if they ignore it themselves......

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

ahhhhh! NO! Don't make me say it! AHH! iliketheoffspring.

ok bye!

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

everyone says sissor sisters on these things. theyre so wrong....and yet so funky

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

erm - Keane - I just dont know why I do - after playing Hex Enduction hour by the Fall and Metal Box by Pil I somehow fuind it acceptable to listening to Somewhere Only We KNow wihtout worrying of destprying my 'reputation'

The Scissor Sisters are just some hollywood brats trading in on the pink pound - lets face it eh?

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

oh yeah...i have keanes album...

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

its just the Fierce panda singles that are good really isnt it (see am trying to even claim indie respectablility for them)

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

no excuse i'm afraid!
mind you, i cant talk i do own a pearl jam album.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

All these Pink Floyd fans moaning about Comfortably Numb only goes to heighten my appreciation for the Scissor Sisters. Moaning old turds.

Girls Aloud made fucking ace pop music, even if one of them is possibly a racist bitch and in spite of the way they formed.

Fatboy Slim's shirts may also be a crime against humanity, but I'm rather partial to Halfway Between The Gutters & The Stars.


Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Warning -Observer subsciber thinking that Girls Aloud are 'pure pop' because Miranda Sawyer or someone says so - Warning! (not me I hasten to add)

Eddie Vedder - "I am not Your Messiah" - never a truer statment there then

Can I add the Divine Comedy to this sorry farrago buiit none of the above, obviously

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Can you subscribe to a paper? The Observer Music Monthly is dire. If you don't like The Show, there's something wrong with you (or your ears).

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

OSM is written by people who are not into music for people to read who are not into music - and when people with true talent and verve want to write they are firewalled from even irrelevant gashfests like that - its a sorry world isnt it?

I'd gladly challenge any writer from that 'supplement' to a 'write fight' but i imagine they're all in the Maldives at the moment!

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Aye that OSM mag is tripe: Always banging on about badly-drawn bastard as if he's in some way exciting or innovative.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

It is also badly edited and poorly researched.
At least, the last issue was.
This isn't a pot shot at it for the sake of it - in the past it has been a decent read - but the Darkness issue was awful. Full of mistakes (when did GnR record a self-titled album??) and badly subbed. Really, a blind man could have done better. Also, that round up of the best of the rest releases is utterly pointless - just snippets from the press releases! I really hope they don't pay whoever's responsible for that 'review' section.
Two-penny worth, done.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

hmmmm...
A DiS scribe giving out about the observer music mag for *THEIR* shoddy ((right back from issue 1)) sub-editting. Mummy, what's irony?

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

disagree. some great writing in there

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

on the subbing front tho MD... I'll letcha have that one

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Are Duran Duran okay to like? In fact, I don't care, I love them anyway! Ditto Kate Bush.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

I like Starsailor!!
Feel sorry for James Walsh and at least they ain't Keane

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Welll....I'm partial to a bit of dodgy retro aiceed house u-4-e-ah. Fucknows why. Definitely not nostalgia; I was into G'n'r at the time.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

I'll likely never live this down - but the first CD I ever bought was Sting's - Ten Summoner's Tales.

You may be able to forgive me for that but the thing is, I still stand by it being a great album.

There goes the cred (what little I already had)

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

I possess a Phantom Planet cd.
I got it (for free) after hearing one track cos the bass line reminded me of The Fall. The rest of it (disappointingly) didn't sound remotely like The Fall (obviously), but I do admit to listening to it on several occasions!

Also got the Vines new cd free and have listened to bits of that a few times too.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Some emo bands grow on me sometimes... I tend then to go on an intense 'good music program' for a few days just to get rid of that. Dogs die in hot cars' single is pretty good in my opinion. Sometimes i enjoy Slipknots 'Duality' aswell. :-s

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

i hate to mention this but whenever No Douht songs come on the radio I start humming alon and moving a little, now iv nerver bought one of there CD's but to be honnest iv thought about it

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Coldplay. Somehow the Indie Bible's "bland, passionless, corpse-humping shite" stance has never rung true with me on that one.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Coldplay. Are crap.

Embarrassing bands that I like:

Scissor Sisters

I would say Goldie Lookin Chain, but every1 likes them so I won't bother, even though I now have.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

One of my mates is a grizzly old alcoholic Fall/Bogshed fan.

He works 12 hour shifts in a cardboard factory.

He's recently been muttering through his beard about a Britney Spiers song he likes.

I think it's the constant exposure to daytime radio in the workplace and too much white cider that gets people on the slippery slope.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Aahh.. the old "my mate" cover story.

It's ok, your secret's safe with us ;-)

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

I've always been partial to a bit of motown, Stevie Wonder and the like, but I'm not really asamed of that. I am however shamed to say that I still listen to early Beuatiful South from time to time.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

Fuck me, I can't spell.

Re: bands you shouldn't really like but do

coldplay are one of the best bands in the world. in terms of consistant 'tunes'. i love busted.
