The Brits: Why They Can’t Be Trusted With Music

[The Brain]

Vera Lynn didn't write her own songs. I rest my case.

I don't see any Irish trying to claim U2 here. 

[The Brain]

Since when have U2 been a British band, iirc people in Ireland had a small think against the British, 'Brits Out' anyone ?

Wasn't the new thread enough?

[Ed Anger]

Sometimes, after being exposed to shitty British bands, I sorta wish the nazis won.

[Warspite]

This moron lost any credibility as a music commentator when he quoted the charts as any sort of authority on what is being listened to or bought. For the last twenty years, if not longer, publishers buy up crates of their own singles and other tricks to push them higher up the charts towards No. 1.

I just don't dislike U2 as much as many of you seem to do. The old stuff is pretty good for early 80's, Joshua Tree,Rattle & Hum and Achtung Baby are good late 80's/ early 90's pop. And I thought Zooropa showed they weren't afraid to experiment. Zooropa is actually a pretty good album.


The rest of their stuff is debatable.

This thread is stoking my dislike of Brits. I want to punch a Nigel is the stomach.

Goddamn fruits.

[The Brain]

Goddamn fruits.

Apples and oranges.

I like U2 as well.  What makes them truly impressive is the fact that the guitarist is playing the exact same part on every song but they still sound good and different.

Lady Gaga is smiling through all the way to the bank.

She is alright I just sorta figured she was just another talentless construction of the music industry though.  We will see.

[Josephus]

Goddamn fruits.

Apples and oranges.

Also a Pink Floyd song.

Keep them coming.

[saskganesh]

yeah but Lady gaga has exploding tits! take that Vera Lynn.

good rant. out of fairness, many North Americans have shitty musical tastes as well. I am not sure what that means, other than "many North Americans have shitty musical tastes."

[Agelastus]

I had to look up "Lady Gaga".

In my opinion, she'll be lucky to be remembered in ten years, let alone seventy.
