Seconded. I'm a committed environmentalist but the sound of him singing 'reduce, reuse, recycle' makes me want to run down the road kicking bins over.

Thirded on JJ - it's OK music at best but it is the fact that he goes on and on ad infintum about environmental issues that seems to be his selling point to those who deify him so much - the music should come first people and don't forget it.

Doesn't help that it seems to be relatively easy to pick up a guitar and play along either for those with a minimum of talent which is probably another reason why I hate him so much after having to listen to his interminably crap music made worse by talentless fools.

Kings of Leon

Granted they have gone down hill recently, But they have made some good stuff.

They should of stuck with the white trash bible belt look they had going on early days, this is obviously the missing link

Ha, ha! Quite. I personally went and smashed the pipes on the backs of a shitload of old fridges I'd saved specially for this purpose.

In a similar vein I accidently ended up seeing Newton Faulkner last year. Only gig I've ever walked out of - UTTER UTTER COCK.

Has anyone mentioned Coldplay, they're poo.

When ever I see "overrated" I think "White Stripes".

I've mentioned this pair of twats before.......

Agree re Jack Johnson too. How many times can you get away with releasing the same record?

If you go through the list (nearly) all of the bands despised have produced something that you could enjoy and even the best of underrated artists normally produce some utter shit too. People get entrenched into liking or disliking styles because they are marketed as having something to do with lifestyle or whatnot. But its just tunes. Pick and choose.


But that said; Jarvis Cocker has never produced anything good.

That fuck awful "band" Scouting For Girls are continuing the tradition. I think they've had three singles out (all played heavily on Radio 1) however it might be five, or one.  :-\

I had an argument with my flat mate last night about the TingTings, he said sincerely 'I thought you'd like them, She looks like the type of girl that you usually go for'

which is probably the one of the rudest things anyone has ever said to me.

Anyway, arrogant idiots. They get sophie muller to direct a video for them, on the shoot DrummerGlassesTwat starts talking about his 'creative vision' and it spirals badly into huffing and dummies thrown. Much money spent, the band reject the video, so the record company have to pay for another one. Which is shit and looks the same as their others.

How about Coldplay?  Surely they deserve a mention?  Scrapings of a particularly over-rated barrel of shite.

They are so shit they don't deserve a thread.  Let's see how many times we can mention them on this thread alone.


Coldplay are shit by the way.

Although Coldplay are undoubtedly shit , the idea of planting  a forest to offset the carbon footprint created by making your albums when you could just stop making albums altogether , defeats me ..... But at the top of my list of bands who should have had their hands fed into wood chippers before they were old enough to learn how to play an instrument are Bon fucking Jovi .... Living on a Prayer , that brain dead twat should  be living on a life support machine .....
