Muse
Kings of Leon

Saw Kings of Leon at Hyde Park last week. Based on that I agree!

I thought they overstepped the mark a bit by kidnapping those schoolgirls in Nigeria.

Oh for love of Christ, I can't believe I laughed at that!

I simply don't get Maroon 5. There is music I like and music I don't but Maroon 5 are just nothing.

Radiohead, imho, are the most fabled, pretentious, overrated dullards recording right now. Just sayin'.

I have no problem with Procul Harum in general.......

..... but it's even a pretentious name, in all honesty - "Beyond these things" in Latin!

whereas Status Quo isn't?

Pah! Not only do I fail to retract this statement, but I also add Eurythmics to the list.

Have to agree with Eurythmics. Absolute shite. Have to change radio stations as soon as they come on

The Strokes, good half of a debut album, but the adulation that went with it was wholly disproportionate to the quality of their output.

I'm sorry but how haven't the Kaiser Chiefs been mentioned? They're atrocious. All their songs consist of a phrase repeated over and over a droned chorus. And they're all about bollocks. The lead singer has even ventured on to TV FFS. They couldn't even be bothered to name their own band either - just nicked it off the South African football team.

I'm borderline insulted that 17 pages in they haven't got a mention.

Starship

Hue & Cry (they talk of themselves as iconic)

UB40

T'Pau

I wanted to mention them early on, but thought I might wind up those who follow every single popular UK band of the last ten years.

My kids laugh at my impression of the embarrassingly shite chorus of Ruby Ruby Ruby. What boring tripe.

The Smiths. It was the voice. Still has me running for the off button every time I hear it moaning and whining.

I do like metal though.

Raleigh Chopper · Jul 11, 2017

I see Jethro Tull has not been mentioned yet, so I just did.
Absolute rubbish.

I loved them and still do.

But I get why others wouldn't. Normally fans of hard rock and heavy metal, which I hate in the main.

I would expect pevenseagull would consider the smiths hard rock themselves :smile:

Failing that, write to the lead singer of Echo & The Bunnymen?

"Dear Mr. Echo.........."

Well..., I was always going to get this one!

To be fair, Status Quo is a commonly used phrase.......
