xxx are rubbish...

[sjhopewell]

I always find it interesting that no matter what band or singer is being talked about, someone will pipe up and say how they are rubbish, over-rated, not as good as they used to be, etc, etc, so I thought I would start a thread specifically to allow people an opportunity to do just that...

There are a few rules though...

i) you can only criticise the band in the last article of the thread

ii) you must then name one of your fave artists to give someone else a chance to shoot down

iii) they must have played Glastonbury or be rumoured to play in 2009

When this thread falls off the first page, we will have found our universally agreed favourite artist (i.e. the last artist to have been mentioned, and thereby receiving no critical comments).

I will start with the band that I thought were the stars of my Glasto trip in 2007...Kasabian

I've put them on their pedestal, who fancies knocking them down? Remember, once you have knocked them down - put someone else in their place!!

[ampersand]

bruce springsteen is over rated and shite.

on the other hand, blink 182 to should play!

Oh dear, someone didn't read the rules.

[sh4rpie]

Kasabian are too samey and should write music for movies not albums.

i say Radiohead

[Sam.]

Radiohead are overhyped in ways other bands can only dream of!!!

I say Arctic Monkeys

[pineapple-tea]

The Arctic monkeys are the most unoriginal band known to man.

[coolethan]

slipknot are scary, but f**kin braw if youre in the mood!

[Amlo4ka]

I dont know what braw means but I definitely don't think Slipknot should play anywhere ever.

Animal Collective, on the other hand, would be a SUPERB addition to the JP tent!
