TEN Bands I F**KING HATE - PT.2

I haven't heard ND's original yet, but I agree the UB40 version is sooooo annoying. I had forgotten about it, but now I'm feeling quite negative and self-destructive thanks to you for bringing it up. I'll send you my therapy bill if I don't just go and cut dozens of slices into my arm right now for being reminded of that excuse of a song. I'll try to calm down now and count backwards from 100 to 1 while taking deep, slow breaths while also listening to "Awaken" by YES. Hell, even anything by Taylor Swift would be better than UB40's "Red, red wine", and I'm no Swiftie at all. I will never, ever, ever, listen to RRW by UB40 again.

I've watched a few of your videos over the past few days so KZbin did what KZbin does and recommended another similar channel with similar lists of loves and hates and analysis. This guy certainly made me appreciate your approach, he is so bitter, whingy and insufferable. On the other hand, when you talk about stuff you don't like, or even "hate", you do it with the utmost respect to their humanity, and to their musical skill. I never finish one of your videos feeling negative or bitter. Its quite evident you are truly passionate music, and are adult enough to recognize that just because you don't like something, it does not entirely invalidate it. Thank you for that breath of fresh air. As an aside, I used to work in the music industry, and after meeting countless artists and bands, I realized that if I was going to continue being passionate about music I would have to firstly get out of the music industry, and second completely separate the music from the personalities of the bands and artists, because it's not just Oasis that are insufferable twats. It's an industry that caters to some of the more undesirable traits and tendencies a person can have. It made me laugh quite a lot when the "news" broke about Dave Grohl cheating on his wife.

Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet both seemed to me 'Thatcherism on vinyl', I was born in '83, and growing up they seemed to epitomise the glamorous luxury world of yachts and money, and if you were on the other side of "the divide" - tough shit Jack. Oasis and to some extent U2 at least seemed to have some grass roots, and inclusive lyrics. I didn't understand music until Oasis came along in those pivotal teenage years and drummed the basics into my thick skull with a comprehendible, straight forwards instrumentation template that by then was seemingly too simple and surpassed by the vast majority. Up until then, exposure to bubble gum pop music videos and general over enthusiasm had led me to believe that music was something for people who had no problem with feelings of shyness, embarrassment, reservedness, or self-consciousness - but Oasis helped me with decoupling music from dancing, as they seemingly adopted no stage gimmicks or antics. Anyway, fast forward to present day, all hope is lost, we're living in much more totalitarian times, the gap between rich and poor is insurmountable and lost all meaning and relevance, everyone's corrupt and all of a sudden I quite like Duran Duran (that bassline in Rio - wow!).

Spot on as usual Barry. UB40 were the sound of an old man taking a slow piss in the night. They murdered Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine and turned it into a Whine. '70s reggae lacked the energy, vitality and bounce of the Trojan sound of the '60s. Give me Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, and Desmond Dekker every time. I liked the ELP debut too but after that they were too often like three mad scientists in a laboratory. Oasis always sounded great, had some good songs, and plenty of rock and roll attitude.

Spandau Ballet had some good songs at the start but unfortunately became an over the hill boyband in the mid to late 80’s, luckily their white soul was overshadowed by the incredible limp wristed Wet Wet Wet whose only saving grace was that the band name described them perfectly.

[@rafacsa1]

It seems like it’s an unpopular opinion on the internet, but I do like U2 very much, up to and including All That You Can’t Leave Behind (though that one is already weaker than what came before). I really like what they were doing in the 90’s. Achtung Baby is my favorite of theirs, and Zooropa and Pop, while a bit flawed, still have a number of great songs. I like that they weren’t taking themselves that seriously back then, at least on their albums and videos (live, with preacher Bono, it was a different story). And their 80’s catalogue is almost universally great. After that, in the 2000s and 2010s, they lost it, I agree. All the recent stuff is so, so boring, and they’re now just a nostalgia act. Still, I did get to see them live in the Sphere last year and it was awesome.

[@728huey]

I agree with you. U2 is one of my favorite bands, and I consider The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby to be their seminal albums. Zooropa was okay, but it seemed a little like rejected tracks for Achtung Baby, and Pop in retrospect was a little ahead of its time in trying to merge hard guitar sounds with electronic dance music. All That You Can't Leave Behind was their last fully decent album. How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was just meh, and everything from No Line on the Horizon and afterward was unlistenable. Oasis had some good songs, but they seemed to want to copy the Beatles, and I think people got sick of the sibling rivalry that upended their music. I get where someone may not like an artist like ELP. A friend of mine described how some artis are TPEE, which meant to them technically perfect but emotionally empty. I never listened to enough ELP tunes to make any judgment about them, but that's what Radiohead feels like to me.

I was in my late teens when Oasis appeared. I bought the first album (and to be fair to the band) I still have it thirty years later. The second album 'What's the Story Morning Glory' I bought upon its release, kept about three or four weeks, then took to my local second-hand record shop and part-exchanged it for a Kevin Ayers compilation album that had 19 songs on it. 17 of these 19 songs, I already had on other records in my collection. Two songs was the sum total of what I exchanged Oasis's second album for. Not much nuance in Oasis's sound, it has to be said.

I couldn't agree more with some of these. This applies particularly to the, 'flash in the pan', type bands who were famous and managed to chart highly for something like 18 months, (if that), before disappearing back into the obscurity they came from. 'Frankie Goes To Hollywood', being one such act, who rode along on the fame of having their first single banned by the BBC. Something George Formby was doing 50 years earlier. But, at least, his songs were satirical, if nothing else. They were the epitome of everything I hated about the mid 80's. I couldn't give a toss what, 'Frankie says.'
