Top 5 really boring musical acts everyone buzzes off

[Boss]

The guy top left is the male version of Tinkerbell from Hook. He got made big and realised the only way of disguising his fairy ears is with a ridiculous haircut that takes all the attention away.

[Boss]

The guy in the centre is a mob boss called Tony Castawello. He found a vinyl of All Mod Cons whilst hiding evidence and hasn't looked back since. 

[Total Longo]

Apart from shoe plinth guy, none of them look truly happy. Something is missing from all of their lives which is making them unhappy. Even the guy with the bottle of Scotch is only pretending. 

[Trumo]

The one with the bottle is one of the Lone Gunmen from X-Files.

[Total Longo]

I'm going to throw ABBA into the mix here. The odd song of theirs from their heyday i don't mind (SOS, mainly) but the furore over their comeback is nausea inducing. Both of those songs that they brought out last month were utterly dreadful, so there's no way i can bring myself to sit through an albums worth of nostalgic, cliche ridden balladry. 

 

Some things are best left in the era that they were successful in.

*Billy Batts voice* 

Now go get your fucking Pet Shop Boys 

It's fucking unbelievable that.  One of the most innovative, creative, out-there artists who could walk in and conquer the mainstream whenever he felt like it.  Proof beyond doubt that SD is the wrongest of wronguns.

I absolutely love the line ‘..and talk of people ten years gone like I’ve known them my whole life’ truly beautiful insight in to the minutiae of small town family life.

Really? Didn't think many people would know his stuff.

Hush now child.

Jesus wept.

Anyway, his best album was his last.  He'd been paralysed from the neck down after a PA stack fell on him, and he could only muster the strength to sing one line at a time.  Poignant and beautiful.

stringvest has a Christmas jumper that plays "I just called to say I love you" when you press his red nose

Greatest living artist is just being a bit silly, mate.

It really isn’t. I mean these things are subjective but consistency is key. Since 1983 Cave with the bad seeds has made 17 studio albums and not one of them is a clunker, not one and that’s without including his work with the Birthday Party, Grinderman and Warren Ellis,  again not a clunker in sight. He’s 63 now, an old man his last two albums have( for me) been the best work he’s done, that’s without factoring in his live performances which at 63 years of age remain nothing short of spectacular. I can’t think of a single artist or band  that can begin to match his ridiculous consistency over such a long period of time. A truly magnificent artist. Without equal for me. His quality control is unique.

Seen Elton John’s playing Anfield next summer and asked the mrs if she fancied going. 
 

Was surprised to be met with a resounding no till she reminded me that back in the day.  I was drunkenly arguing with a mate saying he only had 3 good songs.
 

She made a good point.

 

Rod Stewart was on Graeme Norton “performing” his new song last night and he made an absolute show of himself.

 

Another 3 hit wonder for me.

Elton only had 3 good songs? Thats up there with Howdys outrageous claim about Nick Cave that mate. 

 

Out of interest, what 3?

Better interviewee than singer for me. Reckon he’d be brilliant company on a night out tho. Defo on my list for my imaginary dinner table night.

Fuck me, between 1967 & 1973, Rod Stewart sang on a shit load of great songs.

 

He's terrible now right enough & has been since the mid 70s.

Nah I think he's a genius. Great pianist, brilliant songwriter and a cracking singer. I too think he'd be top company.

Those cunts invented being shit musicians & are somehow lauded as geniuses.

I don't think they're shit but they're wanked over by people who want to look like music purists.

Paul McCartney since he left The Beatles. He only wrote two decent tunes: 1985, Live and Let Die. Lennon was by far the best musician in The Beatles.
