stereophonics is a great shout, but I can't stand that Dakota song. Bar tender and the theif is their one song for me, but they are very average
I never got into teh happy mondays much either, I just couldn't stand the non singing of Shaun Ryder and found bez pointless (isuppose that was part of their charm). But kinky afro is great "son I'm 30 I only got with your mum coz she's dirty" is a trememndous lyric, and never even bothered with black grape
Iain brown's solo stuff, i feel, isn't that good either, and was never into "FEAR" but quite liked MY Star (except for the astronaut talking in the middle of the song).
Queen have some great singles but never really got into them, but I like most of their singles. Flash will always conjure up visions of Brian Blessed in shorts and a bird uniform!!
Travis, where do I start. The man who was initially a great album, but when they came out with the invisible band, it was just more of the same crap! But there are some stand out tracks on the man who, their first album was pretty ordinary also.
Libertines. even though they were produced by former clash member Mick Jones (i think) they never really did anything for me. Probably because pete doherty, to me, is a twat! Horrorshow is a decent track though
I'm sure I can come up with more, but that will do for now

I LOVED the Stone Roses but Ian Brown is completely pointless and morbid .
Im trying to think of a Stereophonics track i like but cant .
Queen were a decent enough band in the early days but sold out to the mainstream . ''One Vision '' is brilliant , saw them do it live in 1986 at Wembley ....Memorable ......Then Freddie went all Kareokie doing dreadful Elvis . And Brian May eh , the most irritating plonker ever.
Im horrified Chippy remembers Peter Shelly , not the talented one from The Buzzcocks , but the one hes mentioned was in fact Alvin Stardust's manager . Bet ya never knew that Chippy , or maybe your a secret Alvin fan yeah ?
Radiohead , totally and utterly overated and personally i cant understand how their first 2 albums became so Big . Although Creep wasnt that bad .
Wet Wet Wet . Typical bland predictable pop , but i did like ''Wishing i was lucky ''
Anything by the Undertones , except ''Teenage kicks '' great track but their other material was complete sh*tE . You always get the students with their ''Im loike soo into loike your tunes man , loike do you have any Tones man '' ??
Aerosmith , ''Walk this way '' is still a gem but thats it for me really .
Girls , Girls , Girls by Motley Crew , great fun and typical of them . Tried to like their other material but couldnt get it . The one thing i did like about them though was their outragous side . Absolute nutters . Once nailed the entire contents of a hotel room to the celing for the crack . Even Ozzie found them over the top .
Anything by Brian Adams apart from ''Dont give it up '' with dance producers Chicane . Took a 132 BPM to get him cool on dancefloors .
''Band on the run '' ''Live and let die '' , only 2 tracks by wings that stood out for me .
Travis , again f****** art student crap . Although there was one song i did like .......Cant remember now .
''I dont like Mondays '' Boomtown Rats i thought was excellent . My mates refused to speak to me for weeks because i admitted to liking a rats song but i didnt give a toss , everyone of them supported Leeds .

Prefab Sprout - words cannot express how much I used to hate this disinfected MOR disguised as intelligent music. But I loved 'Faron Young'.
U2 - God I loathe these tossers. Single-handedly responsible for taking music into the incredible realms of 'the most important weapon in the battle against injustice, poverty, hatred and murder. My thoughts obviously count for nothing since they're fronted by Jesus. Love 'Angel of Harlem', though.
Oasis - As a songwriter myself, I've always made it my mission to discard any tune I pen which sounds anything remotely like someone else's. Not a maxim that Noel Gallagher's ever worried about, mind. His band are the champions of thick ugly original behaviour which I deplore. 'Half a World Away' is wonderful, though.
More to follow....

Can't believe this anti-Undertones vibe. Aside from Teenage Kicks, Jimmy Jimmy and My Perfect Cousin, you've also got....
1. Here Comes The Summer
2. You've Got My Number
3. Wednesday Week
4. Got to Have You Back
5. There Goes Norman
And they gave rise to That Petrol Emotion.

I absolutely HATE Queen and U2 but I love the songs 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen and 'The Sweetest Thing' by U2.
The Queen song reminds me of tacky pub discos and me dancing (or trying to) in really high stilettos when I was younger!
The U2 song reminds me of when I left school (shows my age, I am a lot younger than most of you lot!! Love you all really!)
