'Classic' acts that you JUST DON'T GET...

[Master Ray]

I'd certainly take Oasis above Blur, to ignite that briefly-trendy argument from the 90's... Blur had one great album (Modern Life Is Rubbish) before becoming trust-fund wankers patronising the working classes with 'ain't it great to be a Cockney' stuff.. and then vanishing up with own arses with pretentious musical bollocks at a speed that would go unsurpassed until Radiohead reached the fourth album...

IMO, anyway...

I take Blur over Oasis any day of the week and I'm a Mancunian! Beatlebum is better than anything Oasis ever did and the B-side Young and lovely is well, lovely

New one, and not a 'classic act' as such, but someone who gets relentless praise from the music media in the uk for reasons that truly pass me by... Pete Doherty... 

A drug-addled tuneless tossmonkey who wouldn't recognise a decent song if it fucked his face, seems to be getting by thanks to being in a rather over-rated indie band called The Libertines... and also thanks to shagging another spotty drug addict, this time a scrawny and ugly (yet hugely famous) model, some years back...

Seriously, I've NO ******* idea why this prick isn't forgotten / in the gutter by now!

Gotta agree with the whole Pete Docherty statement, no really heard much of his much music but wot I've heard was pretty awful, rumors has it the libertines might have had one half decent tune once. Kinda makes you wonder wtf its all about really maybe the its all publicity is good for some thing.

I think the thing with The Libertines is more about their cultural impact than the songs. They ushered in the death of all that generic oasis-like 90's lad rock and a return to a more ramshackle Clash and Smiths influenced uniqueness. That this disintegrated into tedious tabloid headlines and drugs does not lessen their importance on alternative UK music. They should really have more great songs though.....

Just got Noel Gallaghers New album and I have to say it's very good. Bit more diverse in sound than the first one. We watched Oasis years ago and I thought even on their later albums they still had some cracking songs.

The new NG album is perfectly decent and enjoyable, just as Beady Eye were...

Just wish we had something better than that.
