Just IMO, but...

I've never really liked U2, I like Oasis, I love Radiohead, I'm not too keen on the Beatles but I love what they did, I like the Rolling Stones a lot, Elvis kind of bores me but I know he's great, Chuck Berry doesn't interest me, Pink Floyd = not my thing, The Police are great, Yes had one song I know and it's got a great guitar solo in it (Owner of a Lonely Heart I think it's called), Genesis = boring, Aerosmith have never appealed to me, Jimi Hendrix was great, Metallica = don't like most metal, Rush = indulgent nonsense but each to their own, David Bowie rules, R.E.M should worry less about the environment and more time writing better songs, I love the Velvet Underground, Iron Maiden all look like aging hairy handbags to me and try a bit too hard, Bon Jovi? I think Mum likes them, Jethro Tull? I think Dad likes them, The Who I saw live but I still don't totally get, The Beach Boys were superb, Prince, Michael Jackson AND Stevie Wonder are brilliant, Bob Marley was amazing, James Brown ditto, Steely Dan are one of my favourites, Queen I like, Abba had some great basslines, AC/DC did Back in Black didn't they? Or was that Van Halen?, The Allman Brothers I haven't heard much from, Earth Wind and Fire are OTT and completely brilliant, King Crimson I have never heard a song from them and don't have a massive desire too...

And I absolutely despise the Beautiful South. Pick and choose your most the most controversial statement and go nuts.

You'd get serious cash for Radiohead CDs. I have taken offence at your comment.

I haven't once met anyone who likes the Beautiful South...in fact it envokes a violent reaction in me whenever I hear them. How did they sell so many records?

On the whole Radiohead thing. the first three albums were good, The Bends is amazing then that Kid A thing came out where they forgot to write any songs. I have liked nothing they've done since.

However there are some great videos on Youtube of them covering 'ceremony' by New Order and 'The Headmaster ritual' by The Smiths...both done exceptionally well. A covers album anyone?

Hehe, I know quite a few people who like the Beautiful South! Never been able to stomach them I'm afraid. Or the Lighthouse Family!

Kid A is my second favourite album of all time... but in fairness I've loved everything Radiohead have ever put out. There cover of 'The Headmaster Ritual' I really liked :)

EDIT I think I'm just going to wind my neck in now and contribute nothing more to this car-crash of a thread!
