One epic list Dirty! Agree with nearly all except Abba(huge fan, have been since the 70s), Taylor Swift, loved her song shake it off, and Oasis.
Possibly a couple of qualifications too, Elton John, early stuff from the 70s I liked, later stuff was bland, a couple on the list have done one which I liked, Ringo Starr did It don't come easy and Rita Ora with I will never let you down. McCartney I have a bit of s problem with. The stuff he did after the Beatles split with Wings was either very good ( what the man said, jet, live and let die) or utterly appalling (wonderful Christmas time, mull of kintyre, ebony and ivory)
Finally, all rap/hip hop can be categorised together as utter crap, I don't even regard it as music, just noise pollution!

Not wanting to take this thread too off topic, but I like Taylor Swift because she is a very intelligent artist, she writes all her own work and unlike many in the industry she is a lovely person with no ego. Just view some of her interviews on youtube, at last a modern young artist who has real talent. And yes the fact she is gorgeous is great too!
And she made Apple back down on refusing to pay artists what they are due.
What a woman!

Freddie And The Dreamers, The Dave Clark Five & The Monkees all get on my nerves.

Can't be doing with anything Jazz, blues or modern ish R&B. It's all just a big racket to me. Squealing women singers especially. I include that Adele in this. I don't know what people see in her.

Why do the current crop of female "singers" feel they need to do this? Do they think that means they're good? Shite!! Added to my list

They don't dare be different. The likes of Bowie must be throwing their hands in the air in frustration. I can't listen to any chart music today. Perhaps I'm getting old, but it all just sounds rather generic.

I can't stand Don McLean songs. If I hear 'American Pie' played at a party I head for the kitchen.
Tom Petty - pinch your nose and sing, then you will sound like Tom Petty.

The Saint I don't like Taylor Swift's songs but I have seen her interviewed and agree that she seems clever, interesting and talented. It's her habit of continually writing about breaking up with boyfriends or falling in love with boyfriends that I find a bit tedious. Songs about wearing a nice dress at sunset and red lipstick don't strike me as lasting in anyone's memory for more than the time it is on the charts. I wonder what man is brave enough to go out with her, because she sure is going to write about him !
