Not a patch on the Away Boyz

Anything by One Direction bunch of prepubescent little pr*cks,

There are plenty of modern hip-hop artists who would rap circles around most rappers from the 'golden-era' of the late 70's to the late 80's.

In my opinion, not many rappers from that era have back catalogs that have aged well. The only ones that come to mind are Slick Rick, Kool G Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, RUN DMC, The Geto Boys N.W.A, maybe The Beastie Boys and i may have missed 1 or 2.

KRS-One, for example, seems ridiculously over-rated. He has said some of the most cringe worthy, nursery rhyme like, lyrics I've ever heard, to me KRS-One is as poor as Lil' Wayne and any other terrible rapper around today. I mean those B.D.P V Shan diss tracks were so weak, same goes for the Real Roxanne v Roxanne Shante.

Yes there is plenty of garbage Hip-Hop but there always has been.

And mentioning Ghost writers, Didn't Grandmaster CAZ write Big Hanks verse in Rappers Delight? Hank used it without permission and Sugar Hill didn't give Caz any writing credit or royalties? So yeah, that isn't exclusive to modern Hip-Hop.

I went off KRS-1 after the third album.

Not too keen on him personally either.

But as a live MC, he is a beast...very few could beat him in a battle..his timing, clarity of voice, wordplay and general arrogance make him dangerous.

Yeah, Caz got ripped off to the tune of $1M...he tells the story here

God I must be getting old

Quartz, old mate - these are quite possibly the most embarrassing words I have ever read on here!

>roots around in his glovebox for natty old Black Sabbath tape<

Coldplay - music for people devoid of any soul whatsoever. Utter drivel that is bought by the bucket load by people who can then discuss how 'deep' and 'moving' it is whilst sipping chablis at their meeja friends' dinner party.

Bollocks.

Anything shat out of that pernicious little shit Simon Cowell's arse by way of any of his eye gouge inducing TV shows for wannabee twats.

99.9% of the dirge inflicted upon the world by Pete Waterman and his satanic cohort Stock & Aitken.

Goodnight.

This x 1 million - I fcuking hate this garbage and hate all these manufactured boy/girl bands
Have never been a deep thinker of music like most of you seem to be, but I cannot get my head around the concept of having a pop group of 4 or 5 individuals but not one of the c*nts can play a musical instrument of any kind Straight away I would tell them c*nts to go take some lessons and come back when at least 1 of ye can play a musical instrument but until then fcuk off It really is another shocking indictment of modern society.....if the media/experts tell us that a band is good then it must be the truth so I had better go out and buy their cd's and support them

It's funny how 1 song can turn a person against a group/singer - I absolutely hated springsteen on the back of "born in the usa" (any c*nt can roar and shout into a microphone like that ) and I refused to accept or like his music for a long long time afterwards Since he made his comeback I have found myself more receptive to his music and have even been to see him live twice (mainly cos the wife likes him and tbh I can only remember being at 1 gig but she swears that I was at 2 )

Re the garth brooks concert bash that sid went on ( ), can I just say that he really doesn't have that many proper fans over here - it is my belief that the vast majority of people that bought tickets are going more because of the occasion than for the music. Brooks hadn't be performing live for a few years and many Irish people felt that it was an honour (for want of a better word) that he picked Ireland as the only country that he is playing live gigs in 2014 I am not going to it and nor am I a fan but I have to admit that I very briefly considered going to sample the occasion I will also say though, that by adding more dates it has totally diluted the significance of the "occasions"
Btw an awful lot of the ticket sales for these concerts were from outside Ireland and will see people travelling from the uk, usa and Europe so don't pin it all on us

Christmas songs, I don't want every day to be like christmas,

baaa humbug

Good call. In the few weeks leading up to Christmas it is not worth listening to the radio. It is full of shit. And more shit. And even more shit.
