Though ,I suppose anyone who can play a song and keep a straight face while banging knee cymbals togrther is to be applauded.

Whats the ideal song for a one-man band to do?

“Bang-Bang…… Maxwells Silver Hammer……” springs to mind.

But everybody thinks they are mental! Where’s the justice?

None of them can sing (except the ugliest one, but by sing, obviously here I mean not break the windows when she opens her mouth) and yet, they make £30million a piece the first time round, then reform 10 years later to cream off another £20 million each with a half arsed world tour.

Bitches.

BTW, don’t want to get into a full blown debate about genre definitions, but rap and hiphop overlap, but they are not the same thing. There’s some pretty good hip hop out there, but there is also some pretty dire rappers swanning around in mink coats with diamond studded teeth.

The proposition before us is ” least talent for most success”.
In this respect I would say a cogent argument can be made for the billions of dollars made from rap music (as a particular genre) being a gross example of the above proposition.

You may argue similarly regarding Nashville style country music? Or indeed any other style that seems to churn out factory farmed identi-kit product.

The Beatles ? …….. O.K , but not a patch on Wings though,eh ?

Personally not a huge fan or the horror genre but would certainly disagree there are no good ones (btw this is a music blog!?)

I also like the beatles but again not a huge fan,

As for hip hop, totally disagree with this one, there is some fabulous hip hop stuff out there. Still have a couple of Jurassic 5 albums on me portable musical thingamygizmo. Also a few tracks from Ghostface Killa and for the UK angle some of DJ Format’s albums (which are absolutely blindin btw, check em out, especially ‘Ugly Brothers’ from his Album ‘If you can’t beat em, join em’)
Top top tunage people.

The Beatles are magic.

I quite like hip-hop, though I don’t know enough about it to write with any authority on it.

Nothing narrow-minded about tastes Swineshead, it’s all subjective and that’s what we encourage here at ELM. I daresay they’ll be plenty of ELM readers practically fainting at you slagging radiohead (correctly, IMHO – lost my interest after the Bends and they have yet to get it back.) You know the rules here – savagely argue your case, hopefully with profanity added to some choice metaphors. You are good at it!

No good hip hop? WRONG.
Beatles are shit? WRONG.

Well, good to see ELM hasn’t devolved into simple narrow-mindedism.

Morons.

Get over it. And rap and R&B is music for female teenage neds. Paris Milton and her mates.

There ARE no good horror films – FACT.

Adrian Mole – I’m not having Kate Nash included, because I’d like to bum her.

Did anyone mention Green Day? Worth a shout, surely?

And goodbye Jayhawker, we welcome your new ID!

Totally agree with Razorlight/Johnny Borrell, what a magnificent cunt.

As much as I detest the squeeky warblings of the bundle of crazy that is Pariah Cary, I would grudingly admit she has some sort of singing talent, even if does drive dogs fucking mental.

Lily Allen and Kate Nash, both classic examples of giro bucks at work :)

I nominate Bez.
