Least Favourtie Band / Artist

Anything/Anyone who 'writes' dubstep - It's a huge pile of wank, and i cannot for the life of me figure out why some people actually like this shit? I know it's 'each to their own' and everyone has a different opinion about stuff, but why? Awful awful 'music'.

Top 3 Gigs
Green Day - Wembley Stadium
Paramore - Manchester M.E.N Arena
Bullet For My Valentine - Cardiff International

adje - The Neil Young CD is indeed brilliant - you do not lie.

PHIL!!!! - I don't like Funeral for a Friend but they are genuinely good guys. My friend's nephew was killed a few years ago. They were his favourite band. My friend contacted them to see if they would play a benefit gig at his school and they did. Turned up in their big tour bus, played a long set and were then drinking with everyone, signing autographs, pictures etc. Apparently had time for everyone including my mate's 80 year old mum.

I've just had that issue, tried doing this but sorted my iTunes by year and it turns out I bought one album released in 2010, and that was the Ray Davies one (See My Friends) I got for Christmas: Good fun but wouldn't exactly call it a classic.

Just seen this. I remember hearing about this particular gig. A nice touch by them, it has to be said. But yeah, they are one of the more 'down to earth' sort of bands. They don't let all the rockstar fame bullshit go to their heads. Very nice people, like you say.

Fantastic opening track... Loses its way for me nearer to the end. I did enjoy it though.

I think they compliment each other very well in most of the songs. My favourites are Leaders, Patience and Nah Mean.

I saw Damian Marley during his Welcome to Jamrock tour. Amazing live act and good band behind him.

Belatedly but I think a few people on here would like The Radio Dept. - Clinging To A Scheme. It's very Saint Etienne.
