Suede are just a poor man's Faergound Accidents.

He infected my iPhone with his shite album.

Blame Apple for that, not U2.

I’m pretty sure that they were involved in the decision making process.

Still Apple's final decision. They should have asked all users "Do you want to download the new U2 album for free? Yes/No"

my favourite singers can't sing.

I think that's what I like about them, it gives the sound a character it wouldn't have otherwise. 🙂

I remember Bernard Butler was once asked if Anderson was the best songwriter of the "Britpop" era "he's not even the best songwriter in Suede!" he replied.

Talking of Suede, Coming Up was far more enjoyable than their previous two records.

Suppose that depends on your definition of ‘enjoyable’. More simple hook-laden songs? Sure. But IMO Dog Man Star is one of the best albums of the 90’s that never gets the dues it deserves. Should’ve made them huge but by then people were already too deep in to the larger lad anthems of Oasis so it fell on its arse.

Enjoyable possibly, but nowhere as interesting.

Tellin Stories by The Charlatans is the best album from the Britpop era. 

Blurs music has aged terribly. 

Pink Floyd are shite self indulgent guitar w*nkery.

Bruce Springsteens voice is awful.

How has no-one slated The Doors yet? Overblown pretentious twaddle!

The Doors, The Who, Pink Floyd, Daft Punk, The Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac are all shit.

As an admittedly broad term, power ballads will always be the best driving music.

No

But then again, maybe yes.

Mrs Q now has a pathological hatred of the genre, as the 3 double CD collections released in the early to mid 90s were permanently in my car's CD player.

You're gonna need to furnish us with your Power Ballad Top 5, Quarkerson.

I shall give it due consideration. This isn't something that can be rushed.

It's also worth noting that definitions of power ballads vary, so there will likely be questions asked.

Can you remember which CDs these were? Curious to see the track listing, and how loose with the definition the compilers were.

Glastonbury is a shit festival.

And the idea of people sitting around discussing it daily, especially during a double fallow year - they're probably all beyond help.
