Popular songs you can't stand

@Tim Bohemian Rhapsody was quite something at the time but sadly marked the end of Queen as a proper 70s rock band. Much of that album and what came after was just MOR shite compared to the earlier stuff.

Early chillis and later chillis are basically 2 different bands. They stopped being good in 1999 ( although Venice Queen is outstanding )

There's only so much you can hear about life in California before it becomes dull as fuck. Faith No More have stayed good at least.

I idolised many of these guys when I was about 15-25 and I grew up and had kids and they became close to irrelevant. The best music is made by 21 year olds for people about their same age.

And famous musicians are all such whining lefties too.

But fuck I love Tool. Only 10 and a half years since their most recent album.

@Tregaskis whining lefties who structure their financial affairs to pay the minimal amount of tax.

As does everyone I know, whatever their political persuasion. No easy answer to that because loopholes n shit.

RHCP had like... maybe three good songs. More if you were drunk and single.

@NTA it's a bit rich to be a preachy fuckstick like Bono or Bob Geldof when you're already loaded but pay tax offshore I reckon .
I bet most wealthy people do the same without bothering to try and appear as virtuous as these clowns.

If only Bono would just write a cheque and pay down Malawi's foreign debt, instead of ordering the IMF or World Bank and western governments to do so. I'm just imagining a lecture in between songs.

Mokey

I can't stand Kanye West. He is a tool in every way and his music sucks.

But a popular song I hated back in the day and still can't stand is 'What's going on' Four Non Blondes. Makes me want to punch a wall.

They were a very good rock band....'were' being the operative word. 'Blood Sugar Sex Magic' is a fucken masterpiece.

Having seen their recent concert set list I wouldn't got to a gig if you paid me.

Whatever happened to "give a man a fish / teach a man to fish"?

Actually the worst part of all their shit is that foreign aid for Africa has hurt the place economically over the longer term. Once they're on handouts, people lack impetus to solve their own problems.

@Mokey And here's me thinking you were a feminist ... think of the sisterhood Mokey ...

@NTA And it hid the main problem which was that much of the famine occurred while various groups wasted their resources on civil wars
