While I have absolutely awesome taste, I do love me a bit of power metal, despite how cheesy it is.

About 5 years ago I remember getting judged for my love of early 80s synthpop, but it's become credible again (and I put that entirely down to my lack of shame about it)

There's a few of the classic rock bands that are a bit cheesy that I still like (T.Rex, Aerosmith), and then there's other older bands that turned to absolute dirge and the name is now associated with the crap rather than their great early stuff (Roxy Music, Genesis, Aerosmith).

And I've got some shitty 00's indie in my collection, but most of that I wouldn't describe as a pleasure any more.

Agreed, I'm a fan of Jake Bugg's records but saw him support The Killers at iTunes fest 2012 and thought the dullness could've been due to it being his first live streamed gig etc, and therefore gave him another chance, but he was equally as boring at Shepherd's Bush a few months later.

I thought they were fun, as they pretty much played a hits set with very little from Battle Born (which hadn't been released at this point), but that's as far as I'd go to be honest. Wouldn't bother seeing them at a bigger venue. Same goes for Kings Of Leon, who I saw at iTunes Fest last year.

I thought they were utter shite tbh. I'd never seen them before and while they basically played the entirety of their greatest hits, it was the most boring show I've seen from a band of their stature and size. I was pretty disappointed I'd spent £50 quid on it afterwards!

    • Elastica posted last night teasing a return, wonder where they would play if they reformed?
    • I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining   
    • All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.
    • Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.
    • Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
