    Zane Lowe

    I try to listen to his show, he plays some decent music. But I can’t – what a…

    Are you my wife?
    If that’s what you want 🙂

    How could I forget – Elton John & Leo Sayer.

    How do people listen their voices? Beyond me.

    Leonard Cohen.

    Now I appreciate it’s probably because I’m a big dumb bloke with no soul or something but I’ve never heard so much crap in all my life. And poetry aside, he is a terrible singer. Other people sing his songs much, much better.

    It doesn’t help that my wife would almost certainly leave me for him if he asked. I know of plenty of other middle aged women who view him similarly. I just don’t get it. Bad singer, very miserable, music to kill yourself to, mediocre poet… no idea.

    I consider myself a fairly tolerant sort, but when Adele starts her warbling it fills me with a murderous rage.

    Muse used to be good, been downhill since Origin of Symmetry though.. now they’re just an embarrassingly poor Queen tribute act.

    ACDC I can generally bear an intro, then Brian Johnson starts “singing”. The interval between him starting and me getting to the off switch is too fast for instruments to measure.

    Beatles Lennon, Mccartney – radio off material. The Doors – utter toss

    Florence and the Machine…

    it’s like an annoying posh girl at a party shouting ‘I’m really crazy and interesting’ at the top of her voice and out of tune.

    …..and she ruined that Candi Statton Track.

    I never ‘got’ AC/DC. They’re ok and all, but I really don’t understand why they’re as well regarded in rawk circles as they are. Bunch of self-important Donington ruiners.

    With Bon Scott they were great, he had a proper swagger to his vocals.

    Plus they had the classic ‘died before his time’ but combined it with the ‘tribute singer raised from obscurity’ mix with iconography and uniforms and you’ve got a nice safe dangerous hard rock band.

    Don’t dislike them with Johnson FWIW, just a bit vanilla.

    To be honest, you can’t beat a bit of AC/DC when sitting in the back of a Wokka scooting across the desert. Maybe a bit of RATM or Rollins as well.

    Me neither Cougar, never owned any ACDC, couldn’t name a track, can’t stand the singers voice, don’t get the school boy thing, they seem like the “Clarkson” of bands*

    * by that I mean music for MOR middle aged, dance like your dad, ironed be-jeaned white males.

    Queen. Absolutely dreadful. Surely the worst band ever to be considered a bunch of musical geniuses by a significant minority?

    Robbie Williams – I can just picture his far away look, haunted man of mystery pose he uses all the time to no effect, he looks more like he has filled his trousers with porridge…

    Muse – Since it was pointed out to me you can hear him breathing in between lines it annoys me no end.

    N-Dubz – Get a mental image of Dappy – induces vomit.

    Stone Roses – It was 20 years ago! they were crap then and worse now.

    Vampire Weekend, Snow Patrol and another +10000000 for Florence and the Machine.

    Have to add the XX to that list now purely down to the sweaty forehead.

    Each to their own and all that, but don’t really understand the hatred for Queen.. totally appreciate certain songs have been over played, but they have a pretty extensive and diverse back catalogue, as well as arguably the greatest front man ever?

    Totally agree that since Freddie died they should have quit, and Brian May should stop saying yes to people (Buckingham Palace etc) – but overall you don’t get many musicians criticising Queen for their musical output?

    Adele is ace, she’s brought Reeves & Mortimer club style singing to the masses!

    LET THE SKY FO!
    EE WILL CRUM BO!
    WEE WILL STAN TOW!

    As for me, Oasis, Blur, Deftones and Coldplay all make me a bit sick in my mouth.

    In the 1980s the following BBC DJs were obsolete and knackers yard material:
    Tony Blackburn, Bob Harris, That other one, Terry Wogan and yet, AND YET…….
    They are all on R2 in 2013. What next, Simon Bates with Our Tune?
    BBC, take then round the back and put them out of their (and our) misery FFS!

    Somebody did mention Gok Wan earlier, so I’m off: How it is that somebody who dresses as badly as him/her (i’m never quite sure) is considered to be some sort of authority on style is a total mystery to me.

    Too many to mention but a team of vindictive scientists have taken the very worst of Maroon 5 put it in a big computer and have puked up Train. You can just imagine them guesting in every white toothed American teen series.
    Hate them with a passion.

    Any band/artist who wouldn’t have a record deal/following if it wasn’t for their haircuts.
    Anything bland / songs that sound like someone’s spent 5 minutes on the lyrics.
