The Oil Baron
Recently I've come to the conclusion that the current batch of music we get fed day to day (i.e. stuff that makes the charts/Radio 1's playlist) is total and utter sh**e - as bad as I can ever remember it being. Not wishing to sound like a "things ain't what they used to be" merchant and suggest that it was all better in 1066 (The battle of Hastings was wicked we had it laaaaaarge" etc etc) but I look back to the glory days of the 90's - the innovative dance music produced, the whole Britpop era and the back-end of the Madchester scene with real nostalgia and I don't see anything out there at the moment that comes come even close. These days, we're going backwards musically; I see a bunch of skinny jeans/cardigan/slim Jim tie wearing w******s in trilby hats trying to look like bohemian arts students, desperately attempting to hide their public school roots while singing wingey winey pap in a pseudo yank voice.....
Anyway, I'm not looking for current bands/artists that are good and blow my theory away, I'm looking for the bands that make your teeth itch, the bands/artists that make you seethe when you hear them. Here are my starters for ten:
1. The Feeling - what the **** is this?? Is it 1983? Cheesy, embarrassing pile of w*** that incites violence deep within my soul. They should make the troops in Iraq/Afghanistan listen to this tripe over and over again before major offs , it should get them fired up and ready.
2. Razorlight - pretentious load of made up ****e over corny melodies designed to wet the pants of 13 year old girls. Listening to "America" makes me want to punch traffic wardens in the face until my hand is a mush of gristle and bone. The lyrics sound like whoever whoever wrote them has cut and pasted a few well trodden lines from some other songs to make a really fake song about the depth of his plastic soul. Someone should take "Johnny Razorlight" out for his own good.
3. Lilly Allen - You went to public school love...you had a privileged celeb upbringing...dropping a few "f**s" and "s***s" and "aint's" won't make me believe you're anything other than a big time fake chav. I await the "Knees up Mother Brown" duet with Jamie Oliver.....
I open the floor to the SZ public.....:rolleyes:
