Pack of wankers.

Morn

I think mine were covered by that worst british indie band post a while back...

Embrace and starsailor are definitely among the worstest...

Tyrrial

i guess there is one clear way to see the list of bands most people on this site will name....
i guess the MTV top 30 should cover it all!

oh and i can't stand.... the evil... doom that is!!!...

Jeniffer (bitchy McBitcherson) Lopez

Pigman II

1) Any band that appears on TV more than once every 2 hours.

2) Traffic, Bob Dylan, Roxy Music, Leonard Cohen ... ie pretty much anything that Dave Fanning genuinely likes.

3) The Frames, Turn, Wilt, Blootooth and most of the Dublin scene.

Superfurry

Nickleback. I'ld pay money to punch that whingey gob****e.

Cherry

U2, Nickelback, Oasis, Blur - in their new incarnation -, Starsailor, Westlife, Six.. etc etc.

I would say Christina Aguiblalalalalala, Bintney Spears & all those pop-whores but they're too ****e to attach the word "band" to them. Plus they're not in a band so that helps.

the66electric

Any angst ridden American **** really.

Creed, The Calling etc.

Kali

counting crows. system of a down. nickelback and cher. hates not a strong enough word.

Mewzel

wilt

bandit

Rolling stones and radiohead.

Nope im with you on this one Mewzel..... radio rock ugh

Splatz

The Strokes. God I ****ing hate them. Bunch of talentless pricks.

The White Stripes. Uninspired, derivative bollocks.

The Hives. Rubbish!

The Revs. I picked up Kerrang! the other day in the shop I work in, and they gave Revs' first English gig 5 stars, or K's. ****ing ridiculous ****.

Bob Dylan. What a boring ****.

Radiohead. So mediocre and middle-of-the-road it's painful.

U2. Gay.

velma

So many bands to choose from!! The Revs, The Charlatans, Blue, Girls Aloud and Linkin Park would be among the worst.

lamda

Velma!!! How could you forget The Frames??? Has the hatred diminished????:eek:

francie brady

Simply red, i hate them

Why can they give the Revs five stars, you asked, the reason is because they are journalists, with professional and ethical standards.

Just because something, a band/artist in this case, isn’t to your taste doesn’t mean you should call them "talentless pricks"
“boring ****”, “Gay” etc…

What kind of music/bands do you like?

butterflywings

Leonard Cohen
The Frames, Turn, Wilt, Blootooth and most of the Dublin scene. [/B][/QUOTE]
what? what? why would u rock my perfect, if simplistic, little world by saying such a grossly inappropriate thing?

you're one of these people who secretly likes 6, aren't you, you ****??
go u monument.

and whoever's talkig bout radio rock, (lamda this means u) what u doin listenin to phantom?

lamda

Some unresolved issues eh butterflywings??? Why are you getting so upset that people don't like the bands you do???
And by radio rock I meant the typical mainstream banal rock sound which i think wilt have got in spades... thats the best way i can explain it. Happy?

Raggamuffin

monument your name better not be after that ****e frames song.

anyway i'm going to have to back up the hatred of the frames thing.

yes i hate them unconditionally and i don't care! yey!


As for journalists ethical blah blah blah.

Its your writing and its your job to present your argument.
People read various arguments for or against the music in question and make their decisions.

To be Honest i buy 5 music magazines a year.

The best writing can be found on the interent from some guy in birmingham writing gig reviews on his geocities website.

What Magazine are good for is telling you what label the band are from, previous releases.... bands they sound like etc.

Articles about band history can be very useful and informative.

www.allmusicguide.com is probabaly the best resource for objective descriptions of bands. Very useful.

As is the www.allmovieguide.com

anyway thats my 2 cents

monument

no its not after The Frames song "Monument" (but I do like The Frames).

I dont mind people saying they hate or unconditionally hate bands/artists, what you like is up to you

What I do mind is people calling bands/artists "derivative bollocks", "Gay" etc, just because they don’t like them, its just not on.

if you want to say you don’t like something do it in a grown up way

PiE

Wow, two Phantom listeners who hate the Frames? Has the backlash begun? Or are they just not cool anymore cos everyone knows/likes them?

And what's wrong with calling a band "derivative bollox"? Ok, calling them "Gay" may be a little childish but derivative bollox is a valid opinion surely?

Amz

Ugh! the Frames no thanks!
Linkin Park
Avril Lavigne (well she claims to have a band)
Papa Roach
The Revs

Manufactured pop "bands" in general......
anything louis walsh has had a hand in.....

Metallica
Drowning Pool
Lost Prophets (where are they now?)
U2
Pink Floyd

Etc Etc.

Fair enough.
I suppose that now I'm certain you are my opposite existance, yunno, my complete 180 degree human representaion. And I'm sure 'I' am yours. This has brought a kind of peace to my hatred of most of the things you say, for life is all about balance, black/white - male/female - cocaine/flower - hash/nettle resign - and all that.

So I wonder Pigman. I seriously am interested, and take no sarcasm from my words, I really am interested.... Is what you 'like ' what 'I' hate?

Raggamuffin

nah don't worry back to front
one day you'll realise what you like is **** and then the world will be one again.

I beg your pardon??

velma

I cant believe i forgot the frames!!!!! Well you can rest assured Lamda that the hatred has not diminished at all. Not one bit! I still consider being forced to watch them play at witnness last year one of the worst experiences of my life.

Splatz

Monument...

I appreciate your input, but the point of this thread is to tell the rest of the punters what you think of the bands around now.

Whereas you may not agree with my opinions, they are just that; opinions.

I didn't know freedom of speech was dead.

And however you choose to perceive it, I used the term "Gay" jokingly in describing U2. Perhaps that does not make it exempt from being "childish", but I really don't care much if I look immature.

In defense of my "childish" opinion I shall expand on it...

U2 managed to arse their way through many types and subgenres of pop and rock recently in their career, treading on thin ice (musically) with "Discotheque", getting a bit raucuous with "Hold me, Thrill me..." and then releasing that bloody awful 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' without doing anything at all worthwhile and/or original. It was all derivative, and just to prove my point, the Edge recently said their new album is going to be more rocking because "he's been listening to the Datsuns lately", or something very similar. And I truly, truly believe that 90% of the people in this country that like U2 are just proud because they're famous AND they're Irish. It would be nicer to get bands like Turn, Polar, Speedman, et al a little bit of recognition, don't you think? You know? Bands that are doing something even marginally different?

To be honest, I'd leave U2 behind in a second.

And just so you're happy with a cherry on top, I'll cap it all off with a nice little {sic}.

monument

it was not your opinions, but the way you expressed them

As for posting the bands who you liked as well, it would have being intersting to see where some of your dislikes come from. but never mind

Splatz

Fair enough.

Well, I've got some broad tastes... I'm just going to name-drop some of my favourite bands/artists, it saves space:

The Connells, The Clash, Jimmy Eat World, Deftones, Led Zeppelin, Goo Goo Dolls, The Prodigy, Dashboard Confessional, The Police, Tori Amos, Counting Crows, Idlewild, The Ataris.

Those are a few of the bands/artists I spend my money on. And before you start on Goo Goo Dolls, listen to something other than Iris.

How about you?

back to front

Raggamuffin and pigman.

Could you be the same person? Forgein perhaps, considering the grammatical errors in your history of posts. Innocent errors, but words too jumbled to be common mistakes. Could be wrong. I'm sure you'll tell me if I am.

And yes, I know you like The Crayonz, and the funny thing is... I like them too. Maybe you're not my opposite after all.

You like The Crayonz a lot, dont you?

They deserve recognition. They're very good. Very nice people too. I just can't imagine they'd hold anything against the bands you hate..

Would they?

Amz

Dont be such an idiot back to front of course they're not the same person. The poster formally known as Pigman is far too i dunno what the word is that im looking for but he's far too something (TBC) to be Raggamuffin. Any similarities are purely coincidental. But good conspiracy theory......

NOT!!!

Gimme a break back to front your just looking for a row now

Raggamuffin

i can't type wow?
after 4 years you'd think i'd have learned.

anyway back to front, the crayonz.

the supported brando i beleive in da 2 once.

i went downstairs after liike 2 songs.

stevie wonder was playing.
much better.

i hope this is the crayonz if not there are even more **** bands in dublin.

HAHAHAH you like the Goo Goo dolls.

go home and cry.


And back to front you've found me out i am after all pigman aswell... the shame

back to front

A piece of vendictive genius I must say! you sure went to work on me there. Maybe you should be a lawyer for defence. Seriously, I know a few people who could forge a fake degree for you. You'd make a whole lot more money than you would working for... lets say...'An Post'.

I have nothing against your bitter hatred for other artists. Just cool down a bit and tell me what music you do like?

That's all I wanted to know. You did'nt have to change over from Pigman to Raggamuffin and reply by taking the piss with me. I honestly just want to know what music you're IN to. Is that so much to ask.

And where do you suppose I like the GOO GOO DOLLS. Jesus, I hate them. And no....not like in a -
" The Crayonz were just brilliant. I picked up a couple of their singles outside and was taking to the bass player afterwards. He was telling me they're supporting LaRocca at the shelter on the 9th of May so I'll definetly be there!" posted by pigman 28-04-2002 at 14:36 / now I prefer Stevie Wonder
- Kind of a way.
I really mean I hate the Goo goo dolls.

I know exactly who you are now, and it hurts. I could tell everyone, but why? I'm not angry, nor do I hold anything against you. I know these boards can be a vent for frustration and you must have a lot of it. Shake on it with me and tell me some of your influences.

Peace

hey, don't slag An Post. My Dad's worked for them for 40 odd years. And they treat him right.

hmph
