Oh I don't really like The Arctic Monkeys after the 1st album, are they 'classic' though?

They're certainly regarded as being hugely popular...

Great lyrics, but the music... nah, not having it.

Yes agree with that, he's a really good lyricist but musically they've just become so bland, 1st album great though! I just don't get why they've got so huge - I guess blandness sells!

OK, THE STROKES... first album was enjoyable in a ripping-off-Iggy-Pop-kind-of-a-way, a few decent tunes there, but since then... ****-all, IMO.  Yet they headline festivals and shit!

On the strokes etc i guess a certain amount of the general public just latch on to a band and believe there good because they have good marketing and they think well they must be good then

So what we're saying really is that it boils down to this.......

Any Bloated, Big Haired, Big Bearded, Big Bellied, over-ego stroked, over noodling, over compensating small cocked spawn of Satan that The Universe felt fit to chuck down at us so that we might know what Purgatory has in store for us.

Is that about right?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't really like The Who! quite like the odd track - Substitute, My Generation. But after that Tommy etc they just sound like bad prog - and I love prog!

Go for it, mate!

I personally loved Oasis... for a bit.  DM and WTSMG were fine albums... Heck, I even liked 'Be Here Now'... but after that, it was slim pickings indeed.  The odd great tune here and there but the rest of it...  ::)

Their b-sides album was their highpoint, IMO...

A bit of a cop out i won't give it full venom
Imo there are really poor band who tried and failed to imitate a band i don't like anyway, just hate the sound of Liam's whining droning voice, there personalities really annoy me, hard men pmsl they would last 5 mins down any local housing scheme. Noel has some talent granted but Liam has very little how well have beady eye done

In the words of the great Janes Addiction: Here We Go.............................

Oasis? Yeah, one of them was good, a couple good enough and one a complete and utter Professor of manual self love. I recently read this quote that I will quite happily claim as my own:

"the musical choice of the ned chav knuckle dragger just about sums it up"

And we can fairly lay the blame for that on that shambling half formed regressed Neanderthal monobrow arsehole Liam. Honestly, how did such a seemingly vile obnoxious half formed human being get feted as being "cool", as having "attitude", as representing a generation in "cool brittania". What a load of bollox. The fellow is happy to be seen as an arrogant drug addled fuckwit. All the while the rest of the world knows he's riding on the coatails of his brother.  Rather large male member of the first degree I believe.

Ooh I did enjoy that  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Anna, you made my heart skip a beat when on this thread I saw the words "Jane's Addiction", one of my all time top bands.  :o

But yes, Oasis. You have to give them credit for making guitar based music a good airing in the 90's. I have their two classic 90's albums, and give them a play now and again. I was never destined to be a fan as I dislike the Bro's so much. They seamed to make being a chav cool as something to aspire to. Although I thought they did a good tune, I always found the lyrics to be piss poor.  If it rhymed, then it went in. Being an NMA fan, I appreciate meaningful lyrics, and Oasis wrote the opposite.  So yes, I can listen to some of their stuff, but could not imagine respecting and looking up to the two boys.
