Bans you don't 'get'?

[andy-hughes]

Following on from the 'Oh Gawd' thread which mentioned Jethro Tull, there are bands that simnply don;t resonate, you ever understand why people like them, and you really can't understand their appeal, and you certainly would never buy one of their albums. Here is my list, off the top of my head -

1. Jethro Tull
2. Blur
3. Rush
4. Frank Sinatra
5. Neil Diamond
6. Florence And The Machine
7. Radiohead
8. Paul Weller
9. Elbow
10. The Smiths

over to you ...

[Pinkypie]

The Beatles! Sorry, don't get it!!

Re. the Jamiroquai naysayers, remember, he is just filling the gap until Stevie Wonder makes another album - if you can't have the real thing you can have a posing whiney thug wannabe in the meantime!

[Sipowicz]

Don't sit on the fence andy!

[andy-hughes]

LOL Sipowicz!

I'm a music critic - my opinion is vital, valuable and correct, in equal measure!!

[Sipowicz]

Have you done your Tom Petty interview yet? If so, how did it go?

[Davethedog]

Most Bands - musicians have at least one redeeming song about them. We are all children of our generation.

I think, for instance, Coldplay are now a monotone, by the numbers band but I have there first 3 albums??

Florence and the Machine liked them when I first heard them but shes a one album girl and it is just boring now.

I like diversity, but if you don't like who I like, who am I to argue. Taste is taste and never the twain shall meet, thankfully.

But Ray Davies is a musical genius :-)

No only bands - but solos too.

Olly Murs, Will Young - oh my God, the flesh creeps.

And where exactly is the location of Bruce Springsteen's BARN in America!

[Davethedog]

HaHa Barn I had to think a bit then.

Hes a singer with so many layers have you ever read the lyrics to that? Its not what you think. Though he is someone who, in my opinion, doesn't rate the reputation he has

[andrew1707]

Oasis

[wolf63]

Don't like the Beatles, Rolling Stones etc

Liked the Bay City Rollers when I was but a girl.

I like choirs - Only Men Aloud and Welsh choirs

[Booldawg]

The Lighthouse Family, Big Country, The Levellers and Roxette

There are probably plenty more I've forgotten about.

Sipowicz - not done it yet - the magazine i was doing it for ' Guitar Buyer - has ceased publication, so i am franticaly trying to find a new guitar mag taking freelances.

as the market shrinks, and mags go under, there is always more work than writers, so we are all after the same berths in publishing. I keep my hopes up though - will let you know.
