For me, The Beatles. They wrote a lot of songs and to me there was a lot of banal dross amongst that lot.
Give me the Stones or The Animals any day, there was just more of an 'edge' to their music.

Coldplay and The Spice Girls I think you got the thread wrong Peano. It's called the most over-rated band & nobody ever rated the spice girls |

When I listen to the Who, I realise how inferior Paul Weller is & when I listen to the Beatles I see their depth & rate of work in comparison to everyone else & it's humbling. My favourite Stones song Is Love the one you're with & my favourite animals song is Hotel California |

Jake Bug, Ed Sheeran and Bob Dylan.
Off top of me head.
There'll be loads more if I think about it.

The turgid stuff he's coiled out this last 20 odd years was avalable and played better by jobbing bands every Sunday night at the George Hotel in 1973. Modfather my arse. The Wella Fella is an interesting conundrum. He hit the zeitgeist of Punk with The Jam and five decades later he's still knocking about as everyone's {except your good self} favourite coffee table upstart. He's a bit of a musical magpie, like Bowie. If Steve Marriott had survived then perhaps there would have been no need for the Bard of Woking. Paul will leave an impressive legacy of songs in his wake {for a bluffer}. B-sides and extras etc reveal real gems. From 'Strange Town', 'Eton Rifles', 'Butterfly Collector', 'Town Called Malice', 'Funeral Pyre', 'That's Entertainment', 'The Great Depression' etc etc.. he penned some beauts. Whilst never really being Punk. He was an astute social commentator considering his youth. His inner thoughts committed to vinyl and the pages at 18/19yrs old. It all still stands up. If not presaging the Indie/dance crossover, then he at least encouraged it with his more soul based Style Council stuff.. 'Long Hot Summer', 'You're the Best Thing' etc. At the forefront of remixes/extended versions and so forth. Forged a path for more dancier mid-eighties music that followed. He hitched his bandwagon to Ocean Colour Scene and Oasis etc when British guitar music had taken a hit from Rave {with a capital E} and helped to keep the idea of guitar based bands alive. He's continually promoted new artists from Tracy to Tame Impala. Amongst the 'stuff he's coiled out' {brill imagery} Weller's cherry picked some psychedelia {Uh Oh}, folk {Wildwood], Grimy Blues {Wake Up the Nation} along the way, and made a decent fist of the job. He could always have turned into Sir Ben Elton. I havn't checked up but I can imagine him having some kind of web presence/online label or summat going on. All the while he's kept his private dabblings relatively private, and his politics reasonable too. I'm not ared about seeing the Weller Band in a forest, but he's a talented fella, I think you're being harsh Skank. {*I may have been inhabited by the spirit of MickMillsLoveChild} |

Let's remember that the stones between 1968-72 knocked out five albums worth of classic tunes, and non album singles too. I don't believe the Beatles, Who, or Led Zeppelin matched that consistency. |

Definitely not knocking them pre 72. Exile is the peak though and while Goats Head and It's only Rock'n'Roll are ok, it's showbiz from then on for me. I bet Wolly can do a tidy Jagger impersonation. |

That's me told. His earlier stuff is fine by me. Excellent, enjoyable and ahead of the wave in many ways, as you describe. I ain't knocking it in any way whatsoever. It's his output in the years since hitching himself to Brit Pop that disappoint me. It is entirely lazy, poorly produced and unoriginal; as though he forgot punk rock and what followed and regressed directly back to the early seventies. Probably to the stuff he started out playing. Bands playing that material were 10 a penny back then - until punk came along and killed them all off. Anyway about Bob Dylan... |
