Westlife have only really been relevant in that they influenced Coldplay.

What are you smoking?!?!

Coldplay are one of the most famous bands of the past 10 years.

They have been one of the few British bands to make it huge in America, unlike Oasis who have only had mainstream US hits with Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.

I'm only giving Westlife the credit for having an influence on them, it doesn't mean I think Westlife are good or anything like that.

Some of you here need to stop misinterpreting my posts.

Jesus, and I didn't think I could have any more contempt for Chris Martin.

But it is your fault. Nobody else is making you like them. Just like its my fault I like any of the music I like.

You're missing my point, its obviously my fault that I'm a Coldplay fan.

Its not my fault YOU don't like Coldplay.

I remember that Chris Martin westlife comment at the time and honestly thought he was taking the p1ss.

You're entirely right that isn't your fault. I was just a bit incredulous that you thought Westlife were an influence on Coldplay - I didn't think that could be true at all. But I suppose it makes sense when you listen to any of the muck they've produced after a Rush of Blood…

Apologies, I'll research whatever utterances Chris Martin makes in the future before replying…

Katy Perry doesn't write her songs, sh!t.. she can barely sing them!

Katy hardly writes her own stuff.

She has like 5 co-writers on most of the stuff she's records, Firework, Teenage Dream, California Gurls to name but a few.

I mean what exactly is defined as a "co-written" song? How much of the song can one person (Katy Perry) write on their own with so many others like Max Martin also being involved.

I prefer to write songs on my own, if anything I will have one partner but nothing more.

Her hits will be a lot more relevant in years (even now e.g. Bad Romance > California Gurls) to come than Katy's throwaway cash-in on the popular sound hits.

I don't like Katy Perry and would never even think of calling her an 'artist'. Gaga is certainly pretentious and she's quite annoying, but the woman can sing live, write her own material and play instruments. Say what you want about her image, but she's a genuine musician. I hate hearing her speak, and I don't like the fact that someone like her, who actually has talent, feels the need to augment her talent by acting like an eejit onstage. I cringe for her sometimes.

Credit where credit's due though. And I'll also give Katy Perry some credit. Her E.T song is a good pop tune, and despite the fact that she more than likely didn't write it (I don't know for sure, open to correction), that song is as good as anything Lady Gaga has written, and better than the most of the MIA rip-off rubbish Rihanna has been churning out recently. Sure, Katy Perry is a mere product and not nearly as talented as Gaga, but she sings that song pretty well and whoever wrote it deserves credit. It's a great tune, in my opinion.

Listen to Hail To The Thief and then listen to Kid A. Certainly not the same album.

Wow I am actually amazed at how long this thread has lasted. I mean 35 pages:eek: of mostly hogwash opinions none the less.

After going through the first 20 pages (I was too tired to read the last 15) I have searched out the most diabolic opinions expressed in this thread.

Funnily enough, I'd agree with about 80% of those statements. Nothing really diablolical there.

Beady Eye are sh¡t and Blur were better than Oasis.

Britney Spears is sh¡t though and Rebecca Black is just not funny anymore…

I liked REM though…

I will admit that Beady Eye are s*** live, they were terrible at Oxegen just standing there playing with no crowd interaction. Otherwise I was very impressed with their album, Liam's voice has definitely improved with age and he's not all that bad a songwriter. Certainly not as talented as his brother but he does deserve a little more credit than he's given for being a lyricist.

Agreed Britney is utterly dire. I've never seen her live but I never will as I know a girl who went to her O2 show in 2009 and felt ripped off because she refused to sing. I mean she's paid to do it, so how can anyone get away with miming and disappointing 15,000 fans in one night? Rebecca Black was never good at all.

I love R.E.M, one of the bands I am crying out for an Irish gig in the near future. Their new stuff is also not so bad.

Sure she's not a terrible singer. I pointed that out earlier, certainly better than say Britney, Ke$ha, Nicole Scherzinger, Madonna, Will i am, Chris Brown and any other of the pop stars who use autotune we can name.

But I don't like any of the stuff she did for Hannah Montanah, too old for that kind of stuff. Same goes for Justin Bieber.

Another statement, which must be a joke.....

While I may not listen to Beyonce on a daily basis, even I admit she is quite a good singer. Hell even my mum agrees and usually she is the first one to tell the good vocalists from the bad.

They still stole as much as Led Zeppelin. The 'Smoke On The Water' riff? The so-called greatest riff ever? They ripped that off The Stooges:

Strangely cleaner than if I linked to the other site. Sadly I'm no longer in that age demographic but here's another titbit of info for you, though I have said I like some of Radiohead's music in the past I don't define myself and what music I like on the basis of one band.
