Artists / Bands that are obviously / probably good but you can't get into them on 11:46 - Apr 15 by hampstead_blue | 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. |
I've listened to them plenty, they just don't do it for me. John Squire is undoubtedly a very talented guitarist but their songs are just pretty meh to my ear. |  |

Good to know Stones has something to fall back on should he get seriously injured. |  |

Artists / Bands that are obviously / probably good but you can't get into them on 23:34 - Apr 14 by jeera | 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. |
Given The Stone Roses is regularly voted as one of the greatest albums of all time, it would suggest that it's YOU sir, that has never listened to music. Or perhaps, as I suspect, you've never properly listened to The Stone Roses. |  |

Does listening to them properly mean muting your headphones? |  |

I've even lived in Brixton where he was from and where everyone loves him, but to me he sounds like a massive ego with a big dressing up box, who's considered a genius because he took a load of drugs, put on space make-up and did some random quirky nonsense. |  |

I'm sorry Dollers but can I suggest you go and stand in the corner and have a think about what you have just written. As a Floydy I can understand that Floyd isn't everyones cup of tea, same goes for Radiohead, some people just don't have the brain capacity to be able to appreciate it. Bowie though has produced such a variety of music from weird stoner stuff right through to full on pop, he also was the man who sold the world. |  |

Also always struck me as being a decent guy as well. Though Dollers frequently defends Morrissey so I'm not convinced by him as a judge of character. |  |

His off-mic antics have been quite funny to watch in recent times. Like that uncle you only see once a year at Christmas ranting about how things aren't the same as they used to be... |  |

That has the whiff of bad sixth form poetry about it. I'm guessing it's a Morrissey lyric. |  |

To be fair, I'm mostly basing it on a recent Amazon Prime documentary. The talking heads on there all described him as a massive ego (more so than talent, originally) and that he got to where he did by hanging out with the right crowd. He was nothing special initially. And then he got into drugs. |  |

He failed to pay his band, for starters. They're still bitter that he left them with nothing, and they ended on the dole with kids to feed, while he soared off into the stratosphere. Not really the behaviour of a "decent guy." |  |

When didn't he pay his band? I'm guessing you might be going back as far as the 70s here but I'd be interested to know more about it. Is it a bit like the time the othe half of the Smiths took Morrissey and Marr to court to get their share of the band's royalties? Saying that, Bowie generally worked with a backing band rather than being part of a band as such. Still, if he didn't pay people what they are owed then that is scummy behaviour. To be honest though, I'm more referring to seeing and listening to him in my lifetime and he's always come across well to me. Certainly he's come across a lot better than certain other musicians, who if anything have become more kunty with age. |  |
