    @Snowy Sauces. North London has lots of sauces. I've met journalists who have interviewed them, roadies who worked with them, shop keepers and waiters who have served them, cabbies who have driven them. The reputation of Pink Floyd is as being massive divas.

    They are big mates with Jeremy Corbyn and supporters of the BDS movement too. Their uber left-wing, preachy activism matched with their personal conspicuous consumption is irritating. Roger Waters has shared a stage with known antisemites and Holocaust deniers. He claimed, without evidence, that Israel was to blame for the death of George Floyd. He accused the White Helmets of faking Asad's chemical strike on Douma in 2016.

    Love the music, but can't stand them as people.

    I think brilliant musicianship often goes part and parcel with being a cock.

    It’s when you’re a cock AND the music is shit ( U2, Oasis, Bieber, Kanye West ) that it’s unforgivable

    That's harsh, or just music people wankery 😉 , on 3 of them.

    A mate of mine who was a radio DJ interviewed the Beastie Boys and they were dicks, makes it a wee bit harder to listen to someones music when you know they're dickheads.

    I think Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time but he sounds like he was an absolute cock. I can seperate the two comfortably.

    Michael Jackson?

    Great example. Yet I’ll happily turn off Gary Glitter. I’m such a hypocrite

    Yeah, I wouldn't listen to Glitter. Like I wont watch a Polanksi movie. We know those two did the crime ... it's still up in the air about MJ - and his music was a class above Glitters. So sign me up to the hypocrite club.

    Yeah that’s it really, I think MJ was a fucken odd bloke but I’m 50/50 on whether he was a kiddy fiddler

    Yep, and I think that recent doco had the opposite effect on me than what it intended.

    For rich guy who pays very little tax and has lots of grunts around him to do the hard work, Bono sure likes to tell us poorer folk how we should spend our money and what we should think.

    Oh and just to rub it in I've seen Waters live a couple of years ago.

    I've seen him twice myself. The first he played the entire DSOTM, and second was The Wall Live. Hell of a show both of them.

    The Black album was a necessity for Metallica's longevity.

    I saw him at BST Hyde Park.

    Pissed/high messy Richard Ashcroft still cussing out Noel or Liam was much more fun.

    I’m not quite sure why Metallica get so much grief. They’ve released some of the best hard rock in history. Sure Lars is a colossal dickwad but the other three are pretty decent guys.

    Cheers. I had no idea about any of that.

    I don't read the "entertainment news" or anything like that so completely clueless. Actually as far as music goes, I buy it if I like it, if the artist is a knob so be it.

    @Bones In typical fern fashion I will argue (I could just stop there really), that they are popular opinions, both of them. Possibly even hot takes, in which case we would all be right and we don't want to go down that road.

    @Bones Yeah, yeah, yeah. It leaves a pool of tears so I'll just Let it Be.

    No future here if we all agree, was what I was getting at.

    Modern Jazz then? That might be a popular opinion, not that we should stay on topic, never worked before.
