I like UB40 too. Pretty inoffensive and I don't take it very seriously. Signing Off is a fine album. The rest is a bit crack though.

Of course. I don't like to get into all this musical taste thing. Some stuff I like would make others cringe. I don't care. Snobbery has no place in music. Skrewdriver?

Right with you on Marley and have never heard anything from Wakemen that is vaguely interesting. BUT Echo & The Bunnymen?? I ought to rip your windpipe out! The Back of Love, Killing Moon... The Cutter.. are you insane Matty Boy???!!! Whoever said Bowie based on 1 collaboration with Bing Crosby should either be arrested or sectioned. I don't think Slade were ever really worshiped and were always a 'good time' band. However the 1972 Slayed? album is a cracker before they went down the novelty route and they produced a few great songs - "How Does it Feel?" would have been quite appropriate for whoever it was who was groping their date during Slade In Flame. I'm with Hrolf though - hate musical snobbery and always avoid YouTube comments which is an insane place to be. As much as I dislike Bono there must be 20 odd U2 songs that I like. Same goes for Coldplay. Meatloaf is god awful though - music for 50 year old women with a lot of denim in the wardrobe. Spot on about the Bunnymen. Saw them last year, and still a cracking live band. Ian Mcculloch is a genius. He says so himself.

Apart from a magnificent first album i dont get The Killers. Hot Fuss, imo, is a masterpiece. Everything since, cack. Talk about dropping the ball.

Each to their own. Rave about what u love but why slate someone else's favourites? If u don't like it fair enough but someone does else they wouldn't sell anything.

I don't think it is an attack on others taste that I thought this thread was focussing on. It is being alienated by near divinity status attributed by the "cool". Thus, ub40 are hardly in that category; nor are slade; nor are U2. Bowie is and so are the vevet underground, Lou reed and the clash. It is the latter I have always found perplexing...
