WaffenThinMint Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Lady Gaga, Niki Minaj, Justin Bieber, One Direction, The Wanted, etc etc basically have flooded the music industry with absolute garbage. For that matter, so have Garbage. The original "was only ever one album in them" band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 First thing that sprang into my mind was Made In England by Elton John A horrendous song. The video is worse than the song. Popup video did a bit on it, outlining the fact that all the UK flags in the video were NOT THE ENGLAND FLAG!! The guy has done some superb stuff, but that was just shyte. I remember when that abortion of a song was out. They had shelled out on adverts along loads of the LRT buses in Edinburgh: 'Made in England- Sounds great in Scotland too!'. FAIL. Although I love The Smiths the majority of Morrisseys solo stuff has been fucking terrible, and along with mop haired Reg, he's another one who has a myopic view on England/Britain and can't decide the right country in the correct context. This whole bedroom DJ/MC thing just doesn't work for me. Grime and all that might be a good and authentic commentary in black Brixton culture or whatever. But a wee tink at the back of the top deck of a bus up here doing the accent with his pals and blaring this shite out hopeless mobile phone speaker(s) makes me feel sad. Oh, and I second anything Cowell is involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poang Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Glam Rock Really cant stress enough how shite i think this music category is, Steel Panther, Motley Crue etc.... its all really fucking terrible, i really hate the whole california lifestyle (sex, drugs, cars, mention the phrase "Rock'n'Roll" as much as possible) lyrical themes that seems to infest the majority of these bands. Steel Panther are the most obvious satirical band since Spinal Tap, so yeah you clearly know your stuff. Oh and you wouldn't like a lifestyle that involves sex, drugs, cars and rock n roll? Wow you sound like a fun guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that about him too. For the most part I believe he just thinks of the Island as English like most other English people. Being in America I have become hyper sensitive to it and had countless arguments even proving my nationality is British. I actually understand why the world thinks England and Britain are one and the same. The English have advertised themselves as kings of the Island for centuries. Even Elton John does it. Popular culture, especially entertainment, is a powerful suggester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 f**k this was awful, I think Metallica have done some brave stuff and tried to take metal to new paths but they have done a load of pish at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 80's were fantastic. New Order are one of the most over-rated bands of the era though. Blue Monday is a masterpiece. They had maybe 3 more really good songs and the rest was total guff. If you consider some of the stuff Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc did in that genre, they were piss poor. Absolute fcking crap. New Order one of the best bands of the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Absolute fcking crap. New Order one of the best bands of the 80s. hmmmm....after checking thier 80's output I would have to give you that.

Jambos Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Technique an excellent album too Hmmmm. Haven't listened for ages. From my memory their albums were mostly filler with the "big" singles spread in between. Will give them a listen now on spotify and see if I was a tad harsh...

DomDom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 On the subject of New Order, I thought that Power, Corruption and Lies was a super album. And as a fan of One Direction I have to ask... what the f**k were they hoping to achieve with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just heard the cover version of ' All Along The Watchtower " by Ed Sheerin and Devlin? , some rap guy What an abortion. How to absolutely murder a great song!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wouldn't really class this as "Glam Rock" though. I associate acts like Roxy Music, Bowie, T Rex etc with that genre. Also Motley Crue might act like total c***s but they have some brilliant tunes. Acts such as Poison, Motley Crue I would class as Hairspray Rock/Cock Rock. Glam is the likes of T-Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
