I as good as completely share Donkey's opinion, and I think me and him have discussed it once or twice before. Revolver would make my top 50 albums of all time. But I'd probably have to stretch it to top three or four hundred to even think about anything else of theirs.
I guessed that, but I thought I should clear my good name in case anybody took it seriously. <gent>

I used to live near Penny Lane, I feel your pain. All I want to do at Sunday at 12 is go to get an amazing cooked breakfast at 'The Tavern' to soothe my hangover, but a bloody tour-bus is blocking my way!

I forgot to put Oasis on my list.
Like a seahorse in the night, he rides with haste to his beloved's domain.

He is the silent guardian, the practical idealist, the man of peace prepared for war.

He is a Mackem.

Yeah, Oasis are s*** <ok> I find half of their songs, despite not actually being very long, manage to overstay their welcome. Rock 'N' Roll Star is a perfect example of this. Also, Liam Gallagher's an absolute berk.

You've missed the most irritating thing about Oasis. The voice of that t*** Noel Gallagher. He has the most horrible voice in the last 20 years of popular music. So whiney. Their music is relatively inoffensive Brit pop, but his voice just makes it horrid.

I 'like' Oasis but LiDL has it bang on when he says they overstay their welcome.

When they come up on my playlists I tend to skip most of their songs, they just get bland after a while.
I prefer Blur. <awe>

Liam's voice is trillions of times worse <disgrace>

Beyonce isn't feminist no matter how much she claims! But yes her songs are faux-girl power/saccharine ****. It's a shame cos she does have a good voice and stage presence, she could do great Soul music.

I know she's not, but she pretends to be and it pisses me off. Feminists argue for equal rights, all of Beyonce's songs (and most of Rihanna's, hence why she's on the list) boil down too "Women are awesome, men are scum, but men should buy women pretty things and treat us like princesses while we do whatever the f*** we want". And it REALLY boils my f***ing piss. Whenever that "put a ring on it" or "who runs the world?" song comes on I just walk out of whatever room I'm in. <grr>

Yeah I guessed that's what you were saying and I was agreeing with you!
The "put a ring on it" song is terrible, it kind of implies you can own women by marrying them.
She's quite religious, so justified her sexualised music videos by saying "that was my persona Sasha Fierce, I'm not like that". Absolute rubbish. Feminism is about owning female sexuality, not this which is internalising sexism.

Rihanna is an apologist for the man who beat her up, horrible example.

I want curly hair too wrote:The XX. They're not awful, just not deserving of the massive hype and attention they get.
When I first had a listen, I hated them, couldn't get into them at all. Now they are one of my favourite bands, although I am finding their new stuff s**** compared to their older stuff.

The opposite with me, I struggle to find anyone who listens to them and likes them. They are amazing live, and their music is f***ing awesome.

They're one of those bands that are amazing live but I wouldn't give a second thought to listening to their records.
