There better than half the cr*p u listen to.....

Plus Busted aint the only band i listen to - can't go wrong with a bit of Indie, Rock or Alternative, in my eyes...Virgin and XFM are a godsend.........  

 

Name bands worse than busted please VS

I know the drummer who is touring with Busted, as it happens. Nice bloke he is too...

P.S. Country... it's a tricky one. What I will say about it is that, far more than almost any other genre of music, it is a real crucible of musicians and musicianship. You cannot be a cr*p musician and succeed in country music, since (in order to make it big) you are required to prove yourself in the small bars and the small radio stations of Kentucky and Tenessee.

This is in stark contrast to pop music, where you can look good and succeed despite an absence of any musical talent (e.g. Atomic Kitten).

So, I respect country musicians for their undoubted musicianship - and, quite often, their lyrics (invaribly laden with pathos in songs like "A Boy Named Sue" and, when Dolly Parton sang it, "I will always love you").

But, do I like Country Music? Nope. One merely need say the words "Billy Ray Cyrus" to sum up all that is wrong with country music... basically, and with very few exceptions (Faith Hill's "This Kiss" and the aforementioned Dolly Parton song - when sung by her, and no one else - being the only ones I can think of right now), I think country music sucks. So there.

What about Shania Twain?

I have heard Saudi Arabian shoplifters that are better guitarists than she is.

I like a bit of bluegrass, I liked Johnny cash, I liked Waylon Jennings when he sang the theme to the Dukes of hazzard and I liked Lee Majors when he sang the unkown stuntman.

What I do not like is knob jockeys in white suits and ten gallon hats knocking out dodgy ballards, the dixie chicks, Shania Twain.

If Billy Ray Cyruss came down my local an achy breaky heart would be the last thing he'd have have to worry about.

Yes, but she can sing. And she's fit-as-yer-like...

For once, that's a visit to your infamous local of which I thoroughly approve, for the reasons to which you allude.

Are you going to send him an invite, or shall I?

No she can't and no she isn't.

Are you sure? and I must respectfully disagree with my learned friend.  I'd give her one, for sure...

I rest my case.

Yes, at last someone agrees with me!!!

Have to back up VS on this one. My nine year old son is mad for Busted and I find them tolerable. However the thought of listening to some rhinestoned, leather waistcoated, skintight jean clad, cowboy hatted, ace vanden plas stroker play C & W make me want to shove knitting needles down my ears!

However I wouldn't object to Shania Twain humming stand by your man on my ballbag

 

[Surrey Shrimper]

Heres a weird one, during my last set of ICAEW exams (accountancy) I was unfortunate enough to have a Busted song going round my head (couldn't tell you which one though).

Well it just so happens that I ****ed on the exams big style so I am enternally in Busteds debt.

Anyway back to the ole Country sound, it doesnt really offend me. Me mams a big fan of it so whenever I'm back in Essex in usually subjected to George Strait or someone like that.

Is Glen Campbell country? cos Wichita Lineman is one of my favourite songs ever.

Anyhoo enough of my inane ramblings. Good call MtS with the Shania pics.

I'd say that your typical 'Country' music is pretty much dreadful... but then you have Alt. Country.. which includes stuff such as The Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star, Trespassers William, Ryan Adams, Gram Parsons, Lambchop... some R.E.M. can also be lumped in with this.... and most of this stuff is very very good..

So, it really depends if we're just talking straight forward Billy Ray Cyrus and stuff....

I voted Miss anyway...  

Oh, and a big yes to Shania...

I was brought up on C&W and can honestly say it is the worst drivel to offend the ear ever. Jim Reeves, Boxcar Willie, Tammy Wynett, Johnny Cash, Don Williams, I have had to indure it all. Every christmas day I was woken up by Jim Reeves dashing through the f**king snow and wishing he would slip through thin ice. It is sh*te and anyone caught line dancing in a cowboy hat should be shot on sight.

I had a bad dose of Boxcar Willie , but the cream got rid of it in the end.
