Neil Diamond
Bryan Adams

&

Metal

:grin::yum:

In JRiver Media Centre I made a new Category - Sh(not allowed)ite.

Some of these were *given to me - others were (very) mistaken purchases.

‘Breakaway’ - Art Garfunkel
*‘The Singles’ - Basement Jaxx
The Age of Plastic - The Buggles
*‘One way Ticket to Hell’ - The Darkness
*‘It Takes a Nation of Tossers’ - Pitman
‘Sigur Rós’ - Sigur Rós (Girl in the record shop looked at this old man approvingly/pityingly ‘Good Choice’.
‘Vampire Weekend’ - Vampire Weekend

Queen.

I dislike intensely, the irritating, bombastic music this group spew forth, particularly the vocal parts.

I actually saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 and fell asleep, aided by a few beers.

I cannot think of anybody else.

Edit, I forgot about a category I find particularly loathsome

Andrea Bocelli and Il Volo, as well as any other “Pop Opera”, including Pavarotti and Friends, the Three Tenors, and any that I have missed. Having photographed the real thing for a leading Italian Opera house for ten years, in the distant past, I find this lightweight, twee prostitution of a heavy hitting grand music awful. I did not care a great deal for the the real thing either.

Deffo at the top the white stripes , utter garbage

Classical, Opera and Heavy Metal but not necessarily in that order.

I call the song “MemClick”, full name is memories, but never gets that far

Jesus, I could sign every word, letter, comma, punctuation in blood myself.

(As for me, Reggae)

The news today reminded me of a group I had erased from my mind.

Oasis, the kings of Cool Britannia spin over substance.
