Female American Country Pop artists have to be added to my hate list. Leann Rimes, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill etc. etc. etc. A sickening mix of country music, cheesy chart pop and girl power. Yuck.

you're not getting away with that. how can anyone hate the Quo? - they're lovely

Don't mind the early psychedelic stuff but after those first two albums they morphed into a double denim rock disaster. They seem to have used the same song template for the last 40 odd years.

Little Mix - horrific, by-the-numbers girl group, debut song a cover, their OWN first song a cliched 'can't bring us down no matter what you do', followed up with cliched 'boy, show me what you do' drivel. Total pap

Clean Bandit - Crap name, crap music

Bastille - Biggest song is a cover, lead singer unable to pronounce 'close' properly

Few Kanye West votes here...obviously haven't heard Gay Fish

Pompeii? Who recorded it first?

Frankie Howard wasn't it??

I've definitely heard the Snap cover more

Either way, they're sh*t

Who didn't do a similar morph? OK, maybe not to the MOR extreme that Quo did. Psychedelia had a limited shelf life.

Wasn't it a solo artist called Vesuvius?

Any English "indie" 3 chord wonder band of the past decade. You know, the enemy, arctic monkeys, courteeners etc

19 pages and not one mention of scouting for girls! The world has gone mad. And it's the music i hate not the people. Morrissey is one of the most annoying(if not THE most) people on this planet, but that doesn't mean the smiths music wasn't pretty good.

what is with people not liking lily allen writes her own songs which are clever witty and political

And extremely annoying.

One of my pet gripes this. Be it cool / clever / witty / potitical / whatever, no lyrics will ever make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck like the open chords to Pinball Wizard or Satisfaction or Eruption. Music should be felt, not thought.

My only real gripe with Lily Allen is the wierd cockney / chav accent she puts on some of her vocals. This fad seems to have spread to other chavvy vocalists as well.

As harmless pop goes, SFG are far from the worst out there. In my opinion of course

''When you first left me, i was wanting more, but you were f**king that girl next door, what'dya do that for''

Quite

Surely that's down to the individual though.

If Courteeners weren't from Manchester, I'd guess they wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful and might have been consigned to the wilderness by now. Overhyped rubbish.

By that logic why not just say the only songs that count are instrumentals.

You have to be pretty strange if you dont get moved by lyrics as well.

Never sung along to a song because of it's great lyrics

Never joined in singing a moving chorus

Strange Fruit, shipbuilding, sorted for Es and Whizz. All memorable for lyrics not the music. All really move me or make me think and feel.

Music can be felt.

Lyrics is what makes it a SONG

The combination of both is FAR FAR better than just one element.

They have returned with new material! I use 'new' in a very loose term, as they havn't learned a single new chord, tune, key or drum beat. Absolutely horrendous band.

The Script = poor man's Cribs (who I also don't like either). Rip-off band in the extreme.

..... What!!!???.... Now, I'm not particularly a fan of the Cribs either, but they are NOTHING like the Script - There is absolutely no comparison.

The Script are actually just a British/Irish take on Maroon 5 - both are absolutely awful, but like what always happens in British/Irish music, if there is a successful American act, then some faceless committee in a boardroom in London or Dublin always decides to dream up a copycat act.

Witness Professor Green's terrible impersonation of Eminem, or Jessie J's take on Katy Perry - Absolutely terrible and an embarrassment for all involved in their creation.

Also, as for Eminem, why, 15 years after becoming successful and fantastically rich, does the boring fooker keep peddling the same self-pitying nonsense, especially the tedious stuff about his relationship with his mum??

And, while I'm having a rant, why can't U2 just give it up now??.... the musical equivalent of the embarrassing uncle dancing at the wedding.

Agreed, truly awful.
