Quote: bren2k "I find myself less able to become exercised about music I don't like any more, as the modern output of watered down, manufactured, auto-tuned dribble is, in the vast majority, just hateful.
I do quite enjoy my heretical distaste for The Beatles - as Vasty alludes to, the sentimental Scouse industry that has grown up around them is crashingly dull and has created a mythology that in my view, isn't justified.
I also like to dislike Muse; they are a classic example of how a collection of excellent musicians does not necessarily equate to a good band. Dull, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent and sanitised - it's not for me, I'm out.
Finally, I can summon up a passionate dislike for Williams; smug, strutting and unable to play an instrument, sing or write a song, he has the singular talent of believing his own hype.'"
Is Williams even an artist or just a fairground Norman Wisdom impersonator.
His churlish behaviour to the nice but dull Gary Barlow is especially nauseating. Gary is not my cup of tea but what talent exists in the Take That orbit is clearly his.
