    Anyone who has anything to do with Simon Cowell, even if they have passed him in the street, I don't like them.

    Supertramp, ELO, Scouting for girls, Edwin Collins (never known a girl like you before) and last but not least Pink Floyd.
    They all make me want to get a cheese grater to my ears.

  • Anything manufactured like an X Factor winner, they all deserve a long stay in a Turkish prison. Also, I can't stand the album of covers by Alvin and the Chipmunks that is currently my childrens' method of torturing me in the car. I agree with noodleman; Pink Floyd - what a load of toss.

    Even if they have been mentioned before it's worth mentioning them again.

    The public at large has bad taste. I used to work in a record shop in the early nineties when we Brits were revolutionising the music scene with tonnes of new and exciting bands. However, it was terribly disheartening every time someone like Elton John or Tina Turner brought out a new greatest hits record, to see them shoot to the top of the charts.

    To see so many negative comments about U2 and Coldplay pleases me but proves my theory about the majority having no taste: they're 2 of the biggest bands in the world. Who actually buys their records (showing my age) when nobody likes them?

    Right well I am shocked than no one has cited Adelle (not sure on how to spell it[she is not on my Christmas card list though so it doesn't matter]) How long will it take before everyone realises that she is a big fat blob who can't sing? Perhaps I am being unfair, she does put a lot of effort in which I believe is the reason that everyone thinks she is good 'ooh it's so passionate', 'ooh she's singing about something she cares about', 'ohh she's pure arse more like' Seriously if when I die some wise guy plays Adelle at my funeral, I will haunt them forever. but it wont be a fun haunting like on Harry Potter (something else I hate), oh no, this will be a whole new level ;)

    Other 'artists' who will cause a 'rage-from beyond the grave' include but are not limited to;

    -Rihanna (again not sure on spelling but not bothered for the same reason as Adelle) - Guy one says 'you would though wouldn't you?' I say 'what? love to sling a large spade across her face repeatedly? Yeah, totally...'
    -Anything that my colleague plays all damn day long at work - generally radio one extracts from Friday night shows. Exactly what I need when its only 11:00 AM on a Tuesday
    -Dub Step or 'wub step' as I like to call it. Can't really say I have ever listened to it through a choice of my own but when it has been inflicted on me by some scrawny weed in his Ford Ka with lowered suspension to make it look even more stupid I have been tempted to deal him (and the guy on the radio) the 'Rihanna shovel treatment'
    -The lonely island people can all get in a bus and drive it straight off a ferry for all I care
    -Chipmunks are animals and should never be allowed near a microphone let alone a recording studio. Regarding his crimes against humanities, Alvin and his pals should be deported to some awful war zone where they can be SHOT TO PIECES.
    -Everyday I'm shuffling man is well due a silencing caused by a firm kick square in his plums. Hopefully the prescribed treatment will stop him from shuffling too so even he will get something out of it.

    There is more but I can't be bothered thinking of anymore solutions to the problems that these 'musicians' are inflicting on humanity.

    PS I do not condone shoveling of peoples faces, but lets face it - these aren't people are they?

    Oh and by all means, say if you think I'm out of line (then I can add you to the above list ;) )

    This thread is now 5 days old and as far as I can see nobody has mentioned Sting/The Police.

    I take it that's because you've all managed to form an effective mental shield against aforementioned purveyors of aural excrement.

    I don't want to pick you up on some kind of racial slur cause I know that's not what you meant, but angry black people created the blues and all that spawned from it, whereas angry white chavs created Goldie Lookin' Chain... :oops: ...your point just isn't empirically accurate.

    The rest of the list however. Aaaaamen.

    Personally, I'd quite like to fly a light aircraft into Damien Rice.

    I actually just registered on this forum because I love riding & I hate Damien Rice & this seemed like an unmissable opportunity to combine the two! Nice.

    I just fucking hate anything Jo whiley likes and the sound of anything that comes out of her mouth. This is a lot because she likes everything and talks in great length about exactly how much she likes fucking everything, especially Coldplay.

    I have fairly strong constitution when it comes to music. But for me, Enya brings out a real feeling of physical repulsion......Yuk!
    And, anything intended to be New Agey or 'relaxing'.

    Keep it away from me! I want music to tear into my soul and rip my guts out. :twisted:
  • What a fantastic thread, best for ages.
    Lovin the joyous venom and banter in the comments.
    I thought / am told by the wife that I was bad but I can tolerate / like many of the bands mentioned.

    Anything that involves being shouted at by a black man.
    Now just hang on.....
    Hold the over played and pathetic 'race' card.
    Anyone eligible to attend the 'MoBO's'
    By that I mean anyone singing, I could appreciate but shouting or 'rapping' is just unneccasary.

    Can you imagine the reaction if there was to be an awards ceremony for 'Music of White origin'?
    Oh heaven forbid!!!

    What about Eminem? He's white and shouts so is that OK? Sorry but you sound like a racist &%*$

    I am allergic to

    Gangster rap, you know the stuff where they make gun shapes with their fingers :roll: (doesn't matter if it's black or white people doing it, it's all cr4p)

    Country and western usually brings me out in hives too but Jonny Cash is an exception
  • If 'gangsta rap' is the genre then that's the stuff I'm alergic to.
    That includes Eminem, who would be most welcome at the Mobo's.
    Or to be face slapped with a shovel as the earlier comment jested.
    As for your other remark.....
    I'll rise above that and not take the bait.

    You don't need to take the bait, you do sound like a racist. Or at the very least, someone with a massive 'race' chip on their shoulder.

    While I'm here, I can't stand that strange looking posh ginger boy who plays his guitar and sings about crack and being from the ghetto.

    Pink Floyd
    Frank Zappa
    RnB
    Hip Hop - those MC's without a DJ to cut records together and make real Hip Hop, ie Flo Rida et al. So basically most stuff after 97 so Rappers really.
    Prog Rock
    X factor output
    SAW output
    Marilyn Manson (Really Brian NIN, KMFDM, Ministry were way harder and way more menacing).
    Talent show output
    Middle Class Guitar band whiny crap. (Coldplay etc).
    Oasis (Worst Beatles cover band ever)
    New Romantic
    Genesis - With Pete and without - Sh!te
    Trance

    For starters.

    Why would a "Music of White Origin" ceremony be considered racist when there is the MOBO? White people make music as well as black people. music is music no matter where or who, good or bad makes it. Chinese, Indian, Russian, Israilis, Japanese all produce music. To make a special point about black music is pointless. Why not change it to Soul/Urban/Hiphop awards?
    Does this make people raising the issue racist? Am I? No is the answer.
    I don't like Soul, Urban, 99% of rap and Hiphop but I like Death and Black Metal, Industrial Ambiant and noise. This is just my taste in music, no racist overtones there. Next.......................

    That Ginger guy is Ed Sheeran. And (regardless of liking/disliking his music) he's not 'posh' (althogh that would depend on your definition of the word).

    I'll tolerate/like almost any music, but my pet hate is when some ar$ehole thinks it's OK to poison my ears with whatever they're playing too effing loudly in their car or worse, on headphones.

    Or even worse, via the loudspeaker on their phone.

    The Coors - Aaaaaaargh!
    Shania Twain
    James Blunt
    Bruce Springsteen
    Jack Johnson
    Leona Lewis

    By the way, I ake any critcism of The Smiths very personally - they are the best band of all time and I should know - I'm a miserable git!
