Artists you will have shot come the Musical Revolution...

arbeitsscheuer

Inspired by c-13's "Hated Cover Versions" thread; I began to wonder about artists who have made such truly appalling and bafflingly, inexplicably successful music... And thus began to wonder which of these would qualify for being shot come the Musical Revolution, for Crimes Against Taste or something like that.

Remember it's only a bit of fun, but try to give reasons for your suggestion (if needed - obviously "Westlife" would be a pretty self-explanatory nomination!).

I already put forward the Scissor Sisters... But who would you do away with?

All modern day R'n'B bastards. Especially Beyoncé who may as well have 2 huge dollar signs tattooed on her fat ass.

All the ones aforementioned and also all of these "Novelty" type bands such as "Aqua", "Cartoons", "Fast food rockers" or whatever theyre called (these are the ones responsible for the Ketchup song, yeah?) and the "Cheeky Girls".

Also B*Witched.

Not really an artist (though the people they represent could hardly be classed as artists) but my nominations are, for obvious reasons, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Pete Waterman etc...

Bodhidharma

1. All money grabbing, stupid rappers - they have sold out their proletariat upbringing in favour of a Bourgoisie lifestyle (it is a revolution after all).

2. Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - none of you are Marilyn Monroe, go away and sell cola.

3. Rod Stewart

4. Jack White - Great artist but he's doing a song for McD's or Coke or someone, so there you go. Every Revolution needs a martyr.

Las Ketchup did the "Ketchup Song".

Fast Food Rockers did "The Fast Food Song", but obviously with an album called "It's never easy being cheesy", there could be a lot of tongue-in-cheek involved. Then you realise Mike Stock (of Stock Aitken Waterman) is behind them and suddenly they're back against the wall again.

My nominations for tying to a post for a good lead breakfast at dawn would include (but is not limited to):

James Blunt - For obvious reasons
The previous winners of You're a Star - Again for obvious reasons
Jay-Z - It's a Hard Knock Life, then he's Beyoncé's bitch...
Van Morrison - If you hate performing for your fans, get the fcuk of the stage

Edited to add:

Brian Kennedy - Obvious really
Ronnie Drew - A Dubliner me ar$e. The grumpy $hite lives in Greystones, CO WICKLOW.

Whiney or Whitney Houston, Michael Bolton, Maria Carey and that French/Canadian bird.

Mike.

Wertz

Black Eyed Peas
Pussycat Dolls
Shakira
ANYONE that does those atrocious dance versions of classic 80's tunes with one vocal smaple and a sampled bass line/hook.riff....burn in hell.
X factor/Pop Idol winners and as previously mentioned, judges and promoters who manipulate the charts with their guff.

tony 2 tone

David Grey. For that dire cover of "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", but even if he didn't, he would still be a contender. As he is pure ****e.
See also Sugababes, Oasis, The Darkness, Girl Aloud, and Rihanna for that pile of ****e, "I don't wanna be a murderer", OR "Unfaithfull" ( really couldnt care) possible the most mindless piece of crap this year.

Sinfonia

Br(y/i)an.
Mc.
Fadden.


Hate is a weak word.

Coldplay
Keane
Lily Allen
Shania(?) Twain
Ronan Keating
Shakira(?)

Beyonce is married now, get over it.I mean I'm sorry that those sordid fantasies will never come through, but the hate is unnecessary.

Anyway=Cherish, Lil Jon, Young Juc and anyway else who 'snaps their fingers' like a retard.

Every pretentious charmless rock group out today(I'm looking your way The Killers, Bloc Party,Keane etc)

And more then anyone else, Westwood.Biggest freak ever.

Why?

Beyonce is gorgeous imo.Lets not lie to ourselves here.For a modern day pop star she seems to hold herself with quite a bit of self respect as well.

I don't think she's gorgeous, the same way I don't think Barbie dolls are attractive. The fact that her music is dire also adds to her head wreaking tally. The kicker however, is the superficial messages she sends to her target audience of stupid little girls about booty shaking and finding yourself a 'balla' who can pay your bills. Commercial propagandist.


Oh, and I reckon she's a bitch.

shane86

All this anti Beyonce stuff, re the poster who said Jay Z was "her bitch" eh.....how? If she arsed her way into half her songs then maybe yes. However, iirc she has only featured on the awful Me and My Girlfriend (a song Jay took from a Tupac album he presumably hasnt listened to entirely, seeing as the album intro refers to Jay and several other NYC rappers as "corny mother****ers" ). He lent his rhymes to what, two of her tunes? Im no huge fan of her music but it doesnt annoy me ether, and shes got a good voice.

And apart from all that yid lash it out of her and birds go mad on the floor when Crazy in Love gets played

Anyway, for the firing squad, a list of people far more deserving than poor oul Saddam

The Killers. Bland, pointless, irrelevant, lyrically bizarre, dickheads really.
The Chillis. Pretty much the same. Pointless, pointless music.
Coldplay. Zzzzzzzzzzz.......
Kanye West. Medium rapper, middling producer, but 100% nobhead.
HIM, Chemical Romance, and any other bands whos music I havent heard but whos existence Ive been alerted to by goth retards with the names of said bands on their black hoodies.
Scissor Sisters. Its the type f thing that could only be big in Britain. Do the Americans even know them?
Christina Aguilera. Anyone remember when she used to be a bit attractive? Now I wouldnt touch her with yours.
Kylie Minogue. Shes not even remotely attractive and never has been.
Whoever mixes those awful Irish Clubland comps.
