An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

If it's who i think it is i am VERY surprised he isn't higher.

Bono? But that doesn't explain the hat..

64 : Scenes

It doesn't matter which part of the world it happens in and when it happens. It's always the same thing. Whether it's Merseybeat in Liverpool in the 60s , Punk in London in the 70s , Bay Area Thrash in the 80s , Britpop in Camden or Grunge in Seattle in the 90s the same thing happens every single time.

One or two good bands get a bit of momentum behind them and then all of a sudden about 100 shit bands copying them suddenly appear from nowhere. And the worst thing is that these anonymous fuckwits without a single original idea ALWAYS get signed by some dumb label trying to make a quick buck. Of course they all get dropped after one album , sometimes two but they still spend the next 10/15 years or so stinking up the music industry refusing to die (Pearl Jam , 17 years and counting ... Oh yes , you have an entry all to yourselves and boy is it going to be a fucking long one).

And you can bet when one of these scenes pops up in a city the next time you go there it'll be full of scruffy youths and japanese tourists looking for THAT pub where THAT guy in THAT band drinks in.

Somewhere he is weeping.

63 : Phil Collins

So what's there to be said about this smug self satisfied slapheaded tax dodging serial marriage serial divorce paying-out purveyor of slack jawed middle of the road dross.

Smug musicians are bad enough , a smug drummer is just taking the piss.
I would go into detail about his musical career but I have a very important appointment to have my toenails curled , as opposed to having my toes curled which is what will happen if I set foot anywhere within 200 meters of a Genesis album.

Edit: I remember when he did that thing for Live Aid , playing on 3 continents in 24 hours.

I was hoping for a 4th gig at the bottom of the ocean.
