See it is these sort of Artists that I respect. You don't have to like thier music, but they have talent. I mean I can't stand Will Young's Music, but, he can sing.

I especially respect anyone that writes and performs their own stuff, Like Docherty etc.

What I absolutely cannot stand it talentless money making machines that spout cover after cover. Like Westlife for example. Absolute waste of ****ing space.

I don't think it's jealousy to say Shakira's crap (or a carp ) She can't sing that well, can she? I like other female singers who are fitter than her too... But there you go.

Coldplay are outliving their usefulness, they used to be OK, now all their songs sound the same - Chris Moyles proved that with the "cheese windows" remix of Violet Hill.

Hate Pete Doherty, he need euthanising.

Amy Winehouse IS talented, shame she married a druggie and has friends like the aforementioned Doherty. Sad really.

Oh yes, and I agree with Pete, (becoming a bit of a habit of mine ) that Westlife are rubbish. They never sing live and there's only 2 of them that can "sing" (mime). They always release covers, so not an original bone between them, and they're always sloppy ballards. Yuck, making me mad thinking about them!

Shakira's voice is awful, as is Britney's and dare I say it the lovely Miss Minogue's

Fiddy Pence, I can't stand him either, yo yo yo

OK here's my vote, this band are not as useless as the likes of Doherty who is simply devoid of talent, but they are easily the most overrated band ever - The Beautiful South.

Their songs are delivered with a vocal so weak and wimpy you feel you want to put the singer out of his misery. The instrumentation is cheesy and simplistic at best and the songs have lyrics that sound like a songwriter trying to be far too clever for their own good and in fact sound like that 6th form band every school had that disbanded as soon as they all left school and sniffed the first air of adulthood and therefore realising how utterly crap their band was.

I enjoyed a nice toast to their demise when I heard they had split. May they now enjoy the obscurity they so richly deserve.

Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Come on Eileen alone should be grounds for them suffering sadistic torture lasting decades.

Oasis. The most overrated Beatles tribute band in the world.

Generally I think we are at the peak of carpness at the moment

Well, I dislike pretty much anything that will appear on the Brits each year, but I have to say, Coldplay are just the pits. Dreary, predictable, self obsessed, nonsense! That sandal wearing freak Chris Martin needs a good slap, and he called his kid Apple, the f*ckwit!

I agree Mr Paul. Also add to the list the hermaphrodite David Gray. I think a lot of the younguns in Bridgend listened to his music.

The thing that annoys me about david gray, is that his head seems to be mounted on a spring.

Other than that, the bloke can write and carry a tune, so he's ok by me.

Is that the one at the Brits?


My favourite memory of the Brits is when the musical god that is Jarvis Cocker sabotaged Michael Jacksons' assertions that he was in fact Jesus during that Earth Song ****e.

cascade.... what a drivvleish waste of silicone infected, fatty patty, blonde extension, cheesy pop dance crap. every single song sounds the same, i really can stand how this stupid talentless tart is making money from concerts, pop videos etc... and the producer behind it, well he wants skewering on a spit and his midi keyboard shoving up his....

also cant stand pretty much any rock/indie band. they all look like fcuked up druggies that need a bath

Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Come on Eileen alone should be grounds for them suffering sadistic torture lasting decades.
Although I agree with Jerome's singling out of Come on Eileen, Searching for the Young Sould Rebels sets them well apart, not a huge fan but that album is amazing

Agree with the review below (from Amazon)

Dexys Midnight Runners' 1980 debut album--Searching For The Young Soul Rebels--spoke to the world with a clarity and confidence that had rarely been experienced before (or since). For children of the 80s, it was the initial introduction to Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, The Foundations--all those ancient soul men. It was the first time a generation came close to understanding the romance of singer Kevin Rowland's Irish precursor, Van Morrison. It was (and is) an album to die for, with its crystal-bright horn sound and the way it spoke with words that left no room for doubters on songs such as "There, There, My Dear" (a letter to wannabe hipsters set to music), "Keep It" and the triumphant "Dance Stance". The album's Number One single "Geno"*-a shout-out to the UK 60s soul journeyman Geno Washington--was pure inspiration. When Dexys appeared on Top Of The Pops to celebrate the song's ascent, they were all Mod-sharpness and mirror-bright brass. It was like being born again.

I like to think Cascade is a very clever tart who realises that puting female vocals to euro-trash-dance is a nice money earner as every thickheaded ned (refer to Fat-pie's Devvo) or ned-ess in the country who thinks cheesy pop-dance is wikkid hardcore will buy it

And if there ever was a generation of people that needed their money taking off them, its them
