Just reading yet another thread of, "I think this band are like naff yeah? You all think they're great? You're all wrong." Once again someone not aware that taste comes in many flavours.
This got me thinking though: is there a band/artist that EVERYONE likes?
Here's what I propose: Post a Band Name as reply to this thread. If you can't abide that band reply to that thread, thus striking them from the list.
After a while there should be one lone, replyless thread which can be crowned the winner of music.
We can then write to the Head of Music, The World and get them to delete all musical compositions that weren't penned by the Winner Of Music - thus ending all "my music taste is different to yours, wanna fight about it?" threads.
I'll get the ball rolling...
Pixies
meh
Raoul_Duke
i thought the grand duke was unapolagetically comitted to sixties hippy shit.
he was into metal too
he kept in touch with Lou Reed, Trent Reznor, Kieth Richards and others till the day he blew his brains out.
no there isn't
Scouting For Girls
I can't abide
Sorry.
Yeah i was kinda joking
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
I can't abide
Sorry.
Your loss
Fair enough
Why?
^ i have to stick my oar in
on not liking Nick Cave - its not possible. Most people who are don't get him steer clear of him but respect what he does but i've never come across someone who "can't abide him". as someone else said your loss.
really?
you're all wrong
Talking Heads?
Blur, everyone loves em!
They are great doncha know!
I dislike Blur
You're surpassing yourself today
Someone has to.
I don't like Blur
e have to strike them from this list
I think
anyone that doesn't like Blur is lying
no we definetly can't have Blur
overly commercial mainstram indie
Surely
there can't be anyone who says they don't like Talking Heads?
(cue contrary bastard wall post...)
Yeah I know.
It would be completely impossible not to at least be ambivalent towards talking heads.
I fucking hate Talking Heads,
as do a number of my friends.
I genuinly absolutely completely knew you would dislike talking heads.
Well done.

You totally should.
likewise, no to Ramones
and only 3/5 yes to Nirvana
I dislike Nirvana and The Beatles for being overrated.
the beatles are
not overrated.
good
for you
nothing like forming your own opinions
oh well said there galactic star
i agree entirely.
the beatles' early stuff is shocking and then the later stuff is amazing.
nirvana are just god awful.
my vote would be nick cave cos nearly everyone enjoys his music
the beatles and nirvana couldn't possibly be overrated
can't possibly say enough to describe their worthiness.
big fucking no to Nirvana
unbearable tosh, one of the most overrated bands in the history of everything.
tosh this 3 <
