You know, the ones that when they come on the radio, you think who buys this?

Top of my list is Coldplay. Bland crap. I challenge anyone reading this to be able to whistle or hum 3 of their songs... I yet to meet someone who can!

A few others...

Pink FLoyd (although I do love Comfortably Numb)

Madonna

Fleetwood Mac

Genesis

Michael Bubble

Who would you add to the list?

The Beatles ! Only famous because they were the first group to change music but I find them so dull. People rave about them but anyone who writes the lyrics "she loves you yeah yeah yeah she loves you yeah yeah yeah" is not really that talented!

Why bother abusing someone so ignorant of 20th century culture?

They wrote 'She Loves You' when they were virtually kids, yet a few years later were writing the likes of 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Happiness is a Warm Gun'. No group, ever, developed musically like The Beatles. as I've said before, they went from being Westlife to Radiohead in the space of 7 years.

And I'm not even that big a fan, BTW!

Of course I have loads of times but my theory is that music is supposed to make you feel good.

Great music makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. I can listen to music from groups that I've never really liked like pink Floyd and fleetwood mac and think, god that is good but I've never felt like that about the Beatles. Personal choice and everyone is different.

A few more to add to list ; Depeche mode (suicidal music) and anything by any artist who wears his baseball cap the wrong way and his jeans half way down his arse, in simple terms rap music !

I actually quite like his post-Oasis stuff and think he's a cracking singer. Oasis were every dull cliché and as sad as 80's metal bands.

The only music I can't get to grips with is opera. I've several time but can't get it.

As far as general music goes I like alsorts. I can't say I dislike anyone in particular as there always seems to be at least one song I like from most artists.

As far as Coldplay goes I can whistle a tune to almost all their hits and I'm not really a fan.

Rap music seems to be getting a little stick but there are some amazing rap artists out there. I've recently been listening to someone called Aesop Rock who I think is great.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there is something in most artists that I can appreciate but then some seem to release a lot of shit too.

Saw radiohead twice in their very early days when they were support act in pubs. They were shit. And despite the fact I know they are a band I should love I still dismiss them as a band based on those early gigs.

I'm with you on the Beatles, most overrated band ever. 310 songs (on albums, 407 if you count all b-sides etc), how many are actually really good? "

About 90% : Not a bad average really

Which one? The shitty psychedelic one, the brilliant heavy boogie band that rocked through the 70's (and recently reformed for the sake of a couple of ex-member's pensions) or the shitty pop band that have been releasing shitty albums since about 1981?

Cos it's polite folk music for people that are too lazy to try the real thing. Hence there were about 90, 000 watching them at Glastonbury last year, while we watched Lucinda Williams play a brilliant set to a half empty Acoustic Tent!

Oh god I hate those fuckers. vaguely knew them back in the day before they were famous. Failed as Smiths wannabes, failed with their god awful attempt at baggy and finally got lucky as Paul Wellers band. Strutted around Brum pretending to be poor struggling musicians while daddy paid their rent. Tossers one and all

nah, quite the opposite, I love the bloke to bits. Met him twice, once when he was with Million Dead, and once when he played a pub here in Manc about 4 years ago, such a top bloke. Hopefully going to see him in a couple of weeks

I never knowingly saw Million Dead (though I expect that I probably did) but have seen Frank loads of times, not least because I used to live round the corner from the pub that Jay/Beans on Toast worked in and he was forever playing there. First time I saw him was in a church hall, Jim out of Carter also played a set, along with assorted poetry and book readings - that was a weird one! His Wembley gig was amazing.

Anyone who wins X factor, ok only a handful have had any decent success.

Look at Steve brookstein (I think). Wins it, fades into obscurity, like most of the other winners. And most of them only cover songs, they don't write them.

Bob Marley - only know 2 of his songs

Justin Beiber - needs a slap

Your post is about artists we "don't get". That's why he's on my list. I "don't get" the appeal of him or his music one iota. That doesn't mean I don't recognise millions of others do.

I've plenty of favourite artists that other people might "not get". That doesn't make any of us right or wrong.

It's Simon Cowells fault and the industry itself.

Music died in the mid nineties when talented groups were banned. I I feel sorry for young folks now who will only know dross based manufactured trash. And even more depressingly will buy it thinking this is the epitome of musicianship. Singer songwriters on strummy guitars in floaty dresses are the present. And the future. Big Brother demands you decry the past even though you thought the Beatles were a boy band. Oh dear. When David Bowie gets a winners award for best make artist 40 years ONI. You know we've hit rock bottom.
