I like UB40 too. Pretty inoffensive and I don't take it very seriously.

Signing Off is a fine album. The rest is a bit crack though.

Of course. I don't like to get into all this musical taste thing. Some stuff I like would make others cringe. I don't care. Snobbery has no place in music.

Skrewdriver?

got to agree with madness , so over rated , reminds me of middle aged blokes who put an a fred perry that's too tight and do the nutty boy dance . put the real late 60s early 70s reggae in front of these blokes and they wouldn't have a clue

what have Madness and 'real 60's/70's' reggae got to do with each other?

Right with you on Marley and have never heard anything from Wakemen that is vaguely interesting.

BUT Echo & The Bunnymen?? I ought to rip your windpipe out! The Back of Love, Killing Moon... The Cutter.. are you insane Matty Boy???!!!

Whoever said Bowie based on 1 collaboration with Bing Crosby should either be arrested or sectioned.
Hunky Dory is genius and there is gold on every album up to Let's Dance. He was an absolute genius of an artist.

I don't think Slade were ever really worshiped and were always a 'good time' band. However the 1972 Slayed? album is a cracker before they went down the novelty route and they produced a few great songs - "How Does it Feel?" would have been quite appropriate for whoever it was who was groping their date during Slade In Flame.

I'm with Hrolf though - hate musical snobbery and always avoid YouTube comments which is an insane place to be.

As much as I dislike Bono there must be 20 odd U2 songs that I like. Same goes for Coldplay.

Meatloaf is god awful though - music for 50 year old women with a lot of denim in the wardrobe.

Spot on about the Bunnymen. Saw them last year, and still a cracking live band. Ian Mcculloch is a genius. He says so himself.

Apart from a magnificent first album i dont get The Killers. Hot Fuss, imo, is a masterpiece. Everything since, cack. Talk about dropping the ball.

s***! I agree with Hoof and Hrolf!

Each to their own. Rave about what u love but why slate someone else's favourites? If u don't like it fair enough but someone does else they wouldn't sell anything.

I don't think it is an attack on others taste that I thought this thread was focussing on. It is being alienated by near divinity status attributed by the "cool". Thus, ub40 are hardly in that category; nor are slade; nor are U2. Bowie is and so are the vevet underground, Lou reed and the clash. It is the latter I have always found perplexing...

Any Dire Straits fans brave enough to come out of the closet?

Romeo and Juliet is a cracking song, and Brothers in Arms is a bit memorable. But other than that they're a bit average middle of the roads rock, with a very good guitarist.
