O/T Singers/Bands You Don't "Get"

[Geetarman]

The Smiths
Morrissey

In the words of Meatloaf, who I would put at the top of my list, pretencious pseudo theatrical crap, produced by the late but not so great Jim Steinman, you took the words right out of my mouth with The Smiths/Morrisey.

[Brin]

Foo Fighters.

Ed Sheeran.

Adele.

Ed Sheeran? Go and see him live then have a re think

Beatles early music was okay then absolute pants!

[Brin]

Val Doonican .....loved his cardies

[Brin]

Adele.....simply cannot stand her manic depressive storylines in songs and her shouting?.....don't even go there.

I thought I was the only one who didn’t like her.
Add to that :
Eric Clapton
Jimmi Hendrix
Deep Purple

and now I’ve “had a little time” to think about it so I’ll add the Beautiful South to the list.

I guess Meatloaf was marmite, who, a few on here would like to have on toast. However, having seen him three times I thought his stage shows were fantastic.

Also the turds who just went through the motions.

What would I be without his music?

There are certain singers or bands that everyone seems to think are great....apart from you,who are yours ?
Here's one or two of mine.
ABBA.....I'm old enough to remember them originally in the 70s,and I just thought they were naff Scandinavian popsters.
Some truelly terrible songs and bad outfits even for the times.
In the last 40 odd years I've grown to like maybe 3 of their songs,but I still think they're naff.
Joy Division, apparently Ian Curtis was a genius,sorry don't get it,prefer Gary Numan actually.

Abba ??? Think the two ladies should have gone on their own. To them I say:
Thank you for the music
For the songs they were singing
Thank you for all the joy they were bringing
Who could live without it
But I ask in all honesteeeee
Where would we beeee
If we all liked the same songs & bands who are we
So I say thank you for the music
But the two blokes should have been fired

Couldn’t get the last line to rhyme

Without someone writing the lyrics and the music wouldn't they have just been another Baccara?
