she was better in the sugarcubes.

phil collins cannot be described as over rated, because who would ever have rated him in the first place?

Joni Mitchell
Cat Stevens
James Taylor
all the other whining singer/songwriting bastards who spawned James Blunt.

The Who. Can we rename them The Why?

We were discussing Phil Collins in the pub recently and we decided he was probably the most consistent off all the artists that had been around for 30 or 40 years. Everybody else - Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Kate Bush, etc have had moments of absolute genius and also released some very dodgy stuff. Mr Collins on the other hand has struggled along like the bottom feeder he is and never raised his game above utter shite. This, we decided made him the most consistent.

Oh and Eric Clapton.

 

[Chuffy]

Stevie bleedin' Wonder.

 

[Chuffy]

Beck. Goddamn fecking Beck.

And the Arctic f*cking Monkeys.

 

[laurence]

Lily (talentless trout) Allen
the Manics (if you tolerate the single the album will be next)
Arctic Monkeys (half man half biscuit without the tunes, or humour)
...all this recent crop of american bands that sound the same and have poncy names and even more ridiculous videos - especially that one about 'haven't you ever heard of closing the goddam door'. tripe, utter tripe.

all those other bands that sound just like the Chameleons, but nowhere near as good.

Pete Doohicky
Amy Wino

ohhhhhhhh, there's so many.

What about Neil Young? Not only consistently good but occassionaly brilliant.

Frank Sinatra...couldn't sing in tune.

 

[monnet]

Can I point out that Phil Collins isn't eligible for this thread. As has been pointed out, he has been consistently shite for...well, ever. His place is top of my list of people in pop I would like to kill. Just ahead of Celine Dion and Enya.

Stevie bleedin' Wonder.

He's crap. What is there to explain?

Fair enough! Not like I was expecting a thesis or anything but that's pretty succinct!

The long version includes the lyrics to 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'...
