Girls Aloud?

[russycarps]

The Nordie? She could do with one or two double cheeseburgers. If one of those knees clipped off yer plums in the nest they'd draw blood.

Very true. Glad that youve recognised the trampy manic blonde bird who eats kit kats.

I must admit I do have a bit of a crush on the saucy blonde too. She looks like she would suck your prong so hard you would pick up crumbs with your bumhole

I've gone too far havent I

Can anyone actually give a better example of a pop band in the last 10 years? If so I'm all years.

They wouldn't have to mime at all, they are all very good singers (say what you like about reality TV shows, they do at least ensure that the winners can sing live).

They also have the best writing team currently working in the industry and songs like "The Promise" stand up against some of the best pop songs ever written.

Can sing well live? - Check

Great pop songs? - Check

Easy on the eye? - Check

If you don't like pop music then that's fine, but if you're going to be snobbish about pop music in general then there are much more worthy targets than Girls Aloud.

POTD!

Of course GA are wonderful. Their only real competition for the title of gretest pop band of the last 10 years are the Sugababes and possibly Take That (too many MOR ballads to properly qualify I wouuld have thought).

It didn't take long for the 2 anti-pop cliches to rear their ugly head in this tread:

''I hate their music but would go to look up their skirts'' sexist bilge

and

the ''They don't even write their own tunes'' real music bores. For f**ks sake, who cares who writes the music as long as it sounds good? Orchestral music, Elvis, Motown and any cut n paste electronic music would be a good starting point for drongos that care who writes the music.

[Lowey]

I've never understood this attitude of "I don't like that band so don't want them on at MY festival" .

It smacks of the Mary Whitehouse-ism of "I was forced to sit through the most disgusting television progamme the other night". Well switch over then!!!

If you don't like a band, don't watch them. Simple as that. It's not as if there aren't plenty of other things happening elsewhere.

Personally, I would go and watch them.

[morelego]

Love a bit of girls aloud. Good music to get ready to before a night out

I'd go and see them

[bombfrog]

yes yes yes but which one do you most want to sex with??

[beergut100]

For f**k's sake! Can we get away from "ironic acts" please? Girls Aloud are f**king rubbish and everyone knows it.

[Monkismo]

My current favourite bands are Death Cab, First Aid Kit and Sky Larkin and my fave bands of all time are Oasis, Libertines and the Smiths but I f**kin' love Girls Aloud (and not just cos they're 5 pretty girls)! They Xenomaniac team know exactly how to write and produce brilliant pop songs and the girls know exactly what they're doing along with looking great. They can and do sing live and I don't see why they shouldn't play if shite like Scouting For Girls, the Hoosiers, Blunt and Faulkner played last year!!

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

My g/f would be over the moon if they played, I'd definitely give them a whirl.

(& a few other things too if I was allowed lol)

Jesus Christ I'd class some Beatles, Beach Boys, Kinks songs as pop and you believe the f**king promise is on the same musical level?

[beergut100]

Has there ever been an act miming at Glasto before?

If so someone should be shot and if not and they mime THEY should be shot.

[robith]

Trolling or on crack? Which?

[robith]

+1 I don't know where the respect they command comes from, just because they are the 'best' from the worst genre out of there (possibly topped by donk or heavy metal) does not give the reality TV show, manufactured, generic excuse for a band carte blanche to play the greatest music festival in the world.

They're playing at ATP?

Get over yourself man.

Edited March 5, 2009 by staggerlee

[robith]

What is ATP? It's not an ego thing, they're shite and I can't see why people have a soft spot for them.

[staggerlee]

It is better than a lot of the output of some of those bands you nominate. It has the same infectious of-it's-time hook and FM radio quality of the classic singles of the last 40 years. Deal with it.

[Wooderson]

Maybe you think it is better than a lot of the output of the aforementioned bands, but up there with the greatest pop songs ever, not a chance. As someone said before though Pop is different to what it used to be. I accept that from the 'churned out every other week' pop bands that come out these days, they top the lot.

The greatest "music" festival on earth. No pop bands there at all - you should probably go, given some of the bands on the Pyramid of recent years.
