"I actually quite like The Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb" - what kind of fooking madness is this?! It's bloody awful.


I like The Scissor Sisters

Kate Bush & Alanis Morisette. Perhaps you have to be a woman to appreciate them.
The Doors.
Def leppard
Gene - a poor man's Smiths
To a lesser extent the Manic Street Preachers, I like one or two of their songs but most of them just don't do it for me.

Given how successful, and indeed influential, their music was, this is a rather silly attitude whether you personally liked them or not.

All of their studio albums and one of their compilation albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

"Ian Youngs of BBC News has described them as "the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since the Beatles."

So you're wrong, basically.


Drop the mic and leave Brixton. Spot on

As a metal fan....Megadeth. They just sound like a Metallica tribute act fronted by Elmer Fudd.


FFS, this is classic TWTD.

I return after a year or two off with crappy family circumstances and dodgy mental health and the first post I read is your latest 'Despatches ...' which made me well up with just how decent people can be, and here we are, half a dozen posts later shouting at the laptop because PEOPLE ARE WRONG ON THE INTERNET!!!!

Megadeth have probably been patchier over the years, and Mustaine is never going to be a singer, but when they're good they bloody soar. One of my favourite live acts, and I've seen a lot of live acts.

Ahem.

*deep breaths*

Anyway, Dylan. Seen him play. Awful. I'm told you need to see around half a dozen Dylan gigs to get one of the transcendent ones that makes it all worthwhile. Life's to short.

100% agree with you.

I have thought maybe they're a group people like who had never listened to music before so assume that's what it's supposed to sound like.

The Smiths.


I'll give The Smiths a vote too. I know some love them, but they just sound like a club crooner doing cheesy sixth form poetry lyrics over jangly guitar to me. Not my bag at all.

I will get pure panned for this by a couple of good TWTDers -

LCD Soundsystem.

I've really tried. Get Innocuous! is quite good, but the rest of it just doesnt grab me.

I'm sorry.

I knew this would piss you off!

Herbs cross too, and VT will give me grief when he's next online.

Anyway, Manic Street Preachers released The Holy Bible; quite a good album.

Every single song since then is the same song. I do not like MSP.

I know I don't qualify as one of the good posters you were worried about upsetting, but still. Disappointing.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Pink Floyd.

Tried and tried but just haven't clicked. Other than a couple of the higher profile tracks the rest of their output does nothing for me. I'll give anything a listen and because others have raved about them I have given them enough chances over the years.

Not sure the Killers fit this as they are just pure toss rather than obviously/probably good.

The Stone Roses and Oasis for me. Just find them both very dull.


Have you ever closed your eyes and just listened to John Stones wonderful guitar?

Agree about Oasis, pub band done well. Great tunes but....

Stone Roses are a different league. Give it another go my dear old friend. Focus on each instrument. They are so tight and wonderful.
