That wouldn't happen to be the best song of the 90s - perhaps with Smells Like Teen Spirit - that you're playing there?

Oh, it is. There were three videos shot for that one. One was censored, one was full of...buffaloes.

Musically, I quite liked the early U2 - before Bono started the slow, sure spiral up his own rectum.

I don't mind their music so much (it's just totally unremarkable to me - like the drone of distant traffic), as I just find the whole ego-centric persona and preachy attitude nauseating.

I don't like David Bowie.

God knows I tried, but, I just cant !

Does this make me a monster ?

Why? :)
Its up to you, what you love and what you don't? But the lack / presence of love, don't give you right to force anyone. Especially if it's causes harm.
And talking about this? What kind of love you have, if simply to force in to another, you causing harm to him?

What you love, and what you don't is up to you! But you cant force your feelings to another, against his will, and well - begin.

About peace? Friendship is not a necessity, however? Neutrality is. What is neutrality? both of you goes his separate ways, and avoiding hostility, to do against the other's will / causing harm to him, included. If any of these happens that means war.

I despise U2, theyre terrible. Same with plinky plonky moany woany Coldplay. Dreary drivel. Bono is a four letter expletive and a condescending hypocrytical talentless churl.

Plus I hate Queen. There. I said it. Its just musical theatre. May as well listen to The Sound of Music for all the relevance it has. I like the band members, but theyre awful dirge is overrated. Usually by people with little to no musical taste. This is their idea of Rock, when in reality its just camp nonsense.

I used to like them. But then I started to really really really despise them and everything they were. Around 80% of their songs are really identical.

1. Verse.

2. Chorus.

3. Verse.

4. Chorus.

5. Guitar riff from Brian May.

6. Verse.

7. Chorus.

While were on the subject hated The Verve as well. Richard Ashcroft had one of the biggest egos in the universe. They had one mega hit with "Bitter Sweet Symphony" that was basically a meaningly song with music ripped off from the Rolling Stones, and a video and general theme ripped off from massive attack called "Unfinished Symphony". Thankfully they had to pay all the royalties from BSS to the Stones.
 
And I think "The Edge" is a dumb stage name.
Who said it was a stage name?

Probably about 90% of all rock songs ever made follow that same formula.

I'm with you on the coldplay thing. Sensi-rock. Ick.

Queen I'm OK with. Not a huge fan, but I like their hits.
 
I've listened to some real carp over the years. I don;t count Queen among it.

No matter where my musical interests take me, and I've listened to some junk across just about every genre, I always end up returning to the same place.

Floyd.
 
I was never keen, though never hostile, to Floyd. I loved the song Time, and a few from the Wish You Were Here album. I liked some of Roger Waters solo stuff too. But most of that is for the sake of the memories they bring back.

Just curious, what do people think of Frank Zappa? I remember listening to that during my late teens and wondering why the hell my little circle of frenemies used to worship everything he did.
