Bands with a big reputation that are (musically) shite

[Bus Honeygun]

Sleaford mods

I've finally caved in on them. Loads of people assumed they were right up my street for some reason, which put me off in a contrary way, but I've started to concede that they do have some good sounds and matey is brilliantly scathing sometimes. That said, there's only so many times you can listen to some bastad fooking ranting about fooking coonts over and fooking over. Ya coont.

Intrigued by your thinking, other than 'not my taste'?

Ah, no real reason more so don't know them or if they are related!

Highly influential and musical pioneers, both of them in their own rights. Superior songwriters and musicians.
Related indeed.

Low hanging fruit but Mumford and Sons. Having grown up in a religious household listening to shite Christian rock I finally managed to break out of that as a teenager only to find out that these stupid posh tweed bastards had influenced most radio pop to sound just like the shite Christian rock I had escaped.

Meatloaf. Never liked him. Girlfriend at the time was a massive fan so took her along to see him. She dragged me out inside half an hour, he was shite.
Took same girl to see Elvis Costello. He appeared to play all his tracks at 90 mph like he didn't want to be there and couldn't wait to get out of there.

Didn't really take to Meatloaf at first but mellowed over the years, especially after RPS and Fight Club. Always liked EC. Imagine if they had recorded together!

That's a shame. I saw Elvis Costello several times between the late 70s and early 80s. He was excellent, either with band or on his own.

Saw him twice in '86 and both times appeared to be enjoying himself!

Bollocks to all the musical snobs.
Personally I like anything that is done with commitment from whatever band or singer in whatever genre provided the music is, well musical I suppose.
I like those who can play their instruments well and who can deliver live.
Everybody’s personal favourites is theirs and good for them if they have some, and also bollocks to people who go on about what they like in order to appear cool in some way.
Sometimes a bit of music captures a moment in some way and has meaning because of that, music generally is wonderful, but amazingly I once met an art teacher who ‘didn’t like music (wtf?)’ , and ‘couldn’t see the point of it’. That is weird to me.

Jingle bollocks all the way

I'd do anything for love, but I wouldn't do that
