I can't believe I forgot Jam/Weller in all this.....

I like some of The Style Council stuff.

 

[Firestorm]

You're wrong abou Amy Winehouse.She could have been a great jazz singer.Joe Jackson is worth a listen too.The Smiths were a first rate pop band.Even Abba had their moments (visually at least)!Even Kate Bush made one decent album(her first).

Not really wrong, as the title of the thread is Singers / Bands that everyone likes apart from you.....Actually you have proved him right...

BTW I agree with Joe Jackson, first two albums are great

 

[Mad Cyril]

I can't see what the fuss was about Amy Winehouse either.

 

[Firestorm]

Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles, Queen, Phil Collins

I forgot my dislike of Pink Floyd , James Blunt (except on Twitter) , Ed Sheeran and almost everything since 1990............

 

[AndyT]

Not interested in jazz - heard a lot of Joe Jackson - second rate Elvis Costello

Indeed. Well said, that man!

 

[Ricky Otto]

A few I agree with on here
Bob Dylan
Van Morrison
Ed Sheeran

One that I haven't seen mentioned who I can't stand
Eminem

 

[AndyT]

I find a lot of the bands/artists listed I like a song or maybe two or three, so It's hard to write any of them off as not likeable at all.

Good example being ABBA. For every 'Voulez Vous' there's a strong track like 'Eagle' or 'The Day Before you Came'

A few I agree with on here
Bob Dylan
Van Morrison
Ed Sheeran

Eminem

Another good example. Eminem. Not keen on most of it, but 'When I'm Gone' is a superb track.

 

[AndyT]

Even Kate Bush made one decent album(her first).

That's actually probably a little down the list.

Try 'The Dreaming' or 'Hounds of Love'

 

[Napster]

Another good example. Eminem. Not keen on most of it, but 'When I'm Gone' is a superb track.

so is Rap God, and most of his first album.

 

[Ricky Otto]

so is Rap God, and most of his first album.

I can't stand the sound of his voice which instantly puts me off, I'm sure he has some decent lyrics but what I have heard (which will only be radio play) his rhymes are very average and he gets lauded as some lyrical genius.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

That's actually probably a little down the list.

Try 'The Dreaming' or 'Hounds of Love'

Believe I have.As I've said I'm far from an unconditional fan.Though I really did like her when she first appeared on the scene.

Not really though I agree with a great number of his dislikes (apart from the ones I mentioned obviously).

 

[OldBlueLady]

The Eagles
Pink Floyd
Oasis
Morrissey/The Smiths



....and one that will upset a few - David Bowie.

'The Hounds of Love' as Brett Anderson described, contains the magic on Side Two. 'The Ninth Wave' is a conceptual piece of brilliance.

'The Dreaming' was the first album where she let the shackles off slightly and started experimenting. There are so many layers to it. It lends itself to 'Siouxsie & The Banshees' at times and other times to other artists around, but it's still very unique and complex.

I'll drop a track from it later.

 

[Supernaut]

Foo Fighters and Muse; both of them popular enough to sell out Wembley Stadium, yet both are the very definition of average. I just don't get it.

 

[KevinJH]

The Bachelors
Freddie and the Dreamers
The Tremeloes
The Doors

 

[Mad Cyril]

Kasabian.

....and one that will upset a few - David Bowie.

Yep.

For someone so supposedly influential I only like a few of his songs.
