1. Arctic monkeys - their phenomenal success is still a mystery to me. its ridiculous and undeserved, they are no better (tho no worst) than a lot of other less successful bands.
2. The feeling - i dont know what exactly, but there is something really annoying abt this band. they just get on my nerves
3. The view - i will never forgive them for the horror that was the song 'same jeans'. it was on the radio so often i nearly smashed it
4.Razorlight - in particular johnny borrell. who do they (or he) think they are? they arent half as good as they think they are.
5. James blunt - no explanation needed
6. KT tunstall - boring, to the extent of irritating
7. Corinne bailey rae - so disgustingly bland, i can't stand her
8. Mika - his grace kelly song made my ears bleed
9. Snow patrol - they should have quit while they were ahead
10. The fratellis - i just don't like them.
NB. this list is not necessarily in order
Monkeys
so much better than the rest of the list
arctic monkeys are a triumph
of the power of hype and mediocrity.
>>
shooting blind arthritic barracudas in a pint sized barrel. With a shotgun
so what you're saying
is that you're just upset. nice. but your taste in music is as suspect as your list.
name some "better", less successful bands
who are comparable in style to the arctic monkeys.
please.
They just said less successful other bands
the (probably fair) implication was that Arctic Monkeys are actually quite average.
why should Razorlight be shot?
I think it would be far more entertaining if Borrell and co were rounded up and sold as slaves.
Pointless thread.
Thats a good list
I agree with all of them apart from Snow Patrol, though the last album was piss poor.
amazing
No one deserves to be shot.
But I do agree with your list.
I don't actually hate The Arctic Monkeys though - I just can't tell the difference between them and dozens of other non-offensive british indie bands that I have no feelings for whatsoever. It's just dull.
i agree
it is a good list..touch harsh tho?
bf
yup- the list of bands you DO like is pretty much as bad as the ones you hate, apart from the obv easy targets!
really?
I think she has pretty fair taste
bf
mmm...I think Nirvana suck dogs eggs though...belle and sebastian used to be okay...strokes suck, simple kid...its just a load of bollocks. Arctic monkeys are no better and no worse than any of them
the rest of ^this list is truly poor though.
Yeah, but you're an old curmudgeon when it comes to this stuff :D
Nirvana are great. What Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes are doing rated as high as Sonic Youth is anyone's guess, though.
Well because they're as good presumably
ouch
Take a chill pill man
calm down. It isn't worth it.
The only band/artist that I can think of that possibly deserves to be shot is Burzum because Varg is actually a murderer.
you guys r taking it much too seriously
i didnt literally mean shooting them.. i was just stating my displeasure of some bands.
As above:
shooting blind arthritic barracudas in a pint sized barrel. With a shotgun...whilst wiley cyote attatches a stick of acme dynamite to the bottom of said barrel.
I've thought about killing..
the killers
Any band...
...who could soundtrack a rowdy knees up in a "British Bulldog" styled boozer in tenerife/benidorm/ibiza, as a bunch of ralph lauren-clad thundercunts jump up and down spilling beer everywhere.
The Fratellis and Kasabian spring to mind immediately.
10/10
When can you arrange this wholesale moider?
