    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.

    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.

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

    A rare example of the female vedd-ringer.

    @booboo I am. For the sake of my sister's ears, 4NB are restricted to performing for deaf people only.

    @jegga I dunno Jeg, the lyrics probably made perfect sense when she and her pals were high.

    Mumford and Sons. I can’t even ignore that crap for a few minutes when it is on the radio. The radio goes off! They are so annoying! How can they be so annoying? I have thought about this. With the type of music they play, they are meant to tell a story, have snippets of wisdom to impart or tell about injustice. Instead it is non-nonsensical, bubble gum pop lyrics that insults your intelligence. Just f#%k off!!!!

    I feel the same way about that 'I'm a bitch' song by Meredith Brooks

    I hate Kanye now but loved his stuff 10 years ago. He was original, had a good flow and sampled well.

    Amen to the earlier comments about Nirvana & Radiohead.

    Add to that anything Fat Boy Slim or Daft Punk.

    Im sorry but throw The Exponents in there too. I was dragged along to many of their pub gigs when I was at uni and the only reason was because I was seeing a chick named Tracy that thought the song was for her.
