Music Roast

[CaledonianGonzo]

The only other well-known Mumford was in Rentaghost, which is also who Mumford and Sons need to call if they want to see talk to anyone about their career.

[dentalplan]

The Wurzels are the Mumford and Sons of scrumpy and western.

[Hugh Jass]

Mumford and Sons have made a career out of playing the music the lower class people in Titanic listened to while they slowly drowned.

[Waterdeep]

I'd rather knit an arse on a cat than listen to Coldplay.

That's a bit extreme - I certainly wouldn't call what they have a "career".

Yep!

I haven’t seen a group of blokes enjoying each other’s comedy to the amusement of absolutely nobody else like this since that time I saw The Wurzels at Scrumpypalooza.

Muse: Music for people who don't like music

Ed Sheeran's Galway Girl was such an abhorrent slice of faux-Gaelic nonsense I felt honour bound to perform a rite of resurrection on my late Irish uncle just so I could apologise.

The size of their crowd at Avalon in 2010 was as baffling to me as the crowds at Craig David and Rag n bone man in recent years.

I'm just filtering roasting opportunities through the sieve of keeping it to musicality and not just riffing on the size of Nick Cave's forehead.

You'll have to go some to top the Ellie-Goulding-lovesick-aerobics-instructor burn from a few years back.

I think it was the work of @russycarps, was it not?

That was @MardyI believe. A fine piece of work.

Billie Eilish's bedroom pop is the sound of the final state of a progression that started when school sports days were replaced with participation trophies.

Nick Cave's forehead is definitely on the agenda. From hair to eternity.

She took bedroom pop too seriously in 2019 when she fell asleep on stage at Glastonbury.

If playing lead guitar is like making love, Jack White is a repressed husband from the fifties, who only ever does it in missionary, going through the exact same routine every time, grunting and gurning for effect, and giving no thought to his partner’s pleasure, before climaxing, rolling off her and promptly falling asleep. And then snoring.

Radiohead’s so called legendary sets on the Pyramid are really just shared false memories like Bogart saying Play it again Sam or the Moon landings. We all think they were so good where in reality it was five middle class nice white boys who sound a bit like Topographic Oceans era Yes boring the tits off people.

And whilst I’m at it Bowie 2000 was so under rehearsed and ramshackle it sounded like a pub tribute band. 
 

There. I’ve said it.

[dentalplan]

For all the stick they get, Oasis have never ripped off The Beatles as blatantly as Radiohead have.

Meanwhile those who get wound up about participation trophies have brought us Brexit, Lawrence Fox and Queen's greatest hits available on vinyl in Sainsbury's.

Unsurprisingly absent from the merch he sells pointing out his flaws.
