Most irritating music artist at the moment

lufties

Since I arrived in the Uk a short time ago, all I seem to hear on the wireless is England's answer to to pop 'singer' Pink, Jessie J...Good jesus her voice goes through me enough to start a thread about it. Was pop music always this bad? She is an example of what's wrong with it, blandness and going over the top to overcompensate lack of talent. On tv I've seen her carry on with this faux 'attitude'. To me she is an example of disposable music, minimum input, maximum gain, Record companies clean up as its fed to the masses lapping it up.Just one crappy, thrown together song after the other. Rant over :mad:

That Avicci fella (Cotton Eye Joe throwback), should be banned from attempting to make music.

Garth Frigging Brooks.

Too much hype.:(

Welsh Megaman

Paloma Faith.

Trying waaaaaay too hard to be 'left-field'. Back in your costume box with you.

Bill aka Will.i.am

Bad enough listening to his songs,the fact that someone keeps paying him for the opportunity to be an authority on any topic or latest trend is a joke.

Grabbing as much cash as he can until he is no longer beyond relevancy.

oh i know... this is why she's annoying - she's claiming this title because her latest "album" was so sh!t musically, that she had to promote it as a "visual album".

me hole is more visual after a guinness dump!!

For the most part probably yes, though the loudness wars have added an extra layer of awfulness to most music. In the 50s, 60s & 70s - generally thought nowadays as a high point in Western music there were just as many disposable acts if not more than there are now. A possible difference is that there were some astonishingly good artists to balance that out, even if not that many people were listening to them at the time. It's hard to think of any acts of recent times that would come close to the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin at their best. At the time of course they had to compete with dross like the Bay City Rollers etc. To sum up: the musical lows have probably always been as low but currently the highs are not nearly as high as they could be.

She needs to appeal to the plebs to sell records..kinda similar to the way the celebs ate pizza at the oscars, a simple but effective stategy.

That's not competition, they were just aimed at different market sectors.

I heard something funny on radio last week. Host was saying Bono thinks he is a politician and Enda thinks he is a rock star.

My nomination BTW is Coldplay. Shocking band live and he named his kid Apple. Man I hate that band.

For me its not actually anyone currently playing today.

I get a pain in my face listening to people talking about Rory Gallagher and Phil Lynott and the like. People completely over-mystify them, almost deify them as artists. They were slightly above average, but because they died young, people make out like they were the greatest people to ever pick up a guitar. Its daft.

Nope. Her current O2 concert is not sold out. Nor is Gaga's, who also didn't sell out her last Irish show.

Novelty acts are proving to be novelty acts.

well personally i dont have a musical note in my body, I'm more into progressive electronic music. Anyway, my uncle is a very talented guitarist and rory gallagher is one of his heroes so I really couldn't argue against him. I listened to some of rory's live in cork album and was bored by the end of the first song. This means one of two things, Either he was overrated or I don't appreciate good music.

Have a listen to his Live in Europe album. If that doesn't do it for you (even a little bit) you're a lost cause.

Yea? well in fairness thats the typical Irish self righteous attitude that I know so well, its just not my type of music. I bid you to check out some albums from sasha and john digweed from the 90s. If that doesn't do it for you i'd say fair enough. Different strokes for diff folks.

Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

What are kids these days listening to? I know throughout the ages there has always been empty vacuous pop stars spewing ****e but this stuff is garbage, and sends a terrible message to young folk.


Oh yea and Nikki Minaji..

I don't think it's self-righteous to acknowledge the talents of Rory Gallagher, regardless of what type of music one is into. I can listen to lots of different music & even if it's not my type of thing I can appreciate talent & understand where people are coming from in praising it. For instance I'd find it very difficult to sit through most operas but can understand why others are enthralled by it. Similarly most electronic music (with a few exceptions) leaves me cold but I throughly enjoyed a Felix Da House Cat set a few years ago. Everyone has stuff that gives them goosebumps & grabs them emotionally but that's no reason to close their minds to stuff outside that, even if their attachment to it will never be as great as the real fans. I'll check out those artists you recommend, thanks for the tip .
