I remember Steve Wright not liking The Smiths at the time. As the 80s 'yuppie' period really got going, he thought they harked backed to the earlier, more austere part of the decade.
In turn, Morrissey (& I assume Marr) didn't like Wright's self-serving style. This was epitomised by Wright seemingly not noticing a terrible news story, and cheesily announcing the next record.

Coldplay.Shite.Ridiculously over-rated. Westlife.I can't stand that kind of teeny boyband crap. Never been into Tina Turner,not even the 'River Deep' stuff.Doesn't do it for me. Cliff. I'm not too into stuff like Muse,Foo Fighters (over-rated American poo),Elbow,Ed Sheeran (he majorly gets on my nerves.When you have an ugly ginger haired spotty oik with tattoos getting to no.1 singing songs about love you are really in the shit),Bon Jovi (everything about music I dislike in that band). Any American cock-rock-bands like Poison,even Aerosmith.Not in my collection,mate. Mick Bubble.FFS,I'd rather have a large pineapple inserted violently where the sun does not shine than listen to that fat Canadian twat sing. More later.Much more. Superclassic really needs to learn how to form an opinion. I like your list(s). I so agree with the lack of talent of Ed Sheeran. I nearly developed repetitive strain injury in my fingers by clicking buttons on my car radio to avoid hearing that horrendous 'Lego House' song of his. But I do like 'The Pretender' by The Foo Fighters, it's a good song to run to. No, not run away from.

Green. I'm partial to a little bit of rap/Hip-Hop (NWA, Public Enemy, De La Soul) but I have no idea what the f you are saying...and you're saying it too loud!!

Ed Sheeran (he majorly gets on my nerves.When you have an ugly ginger haired spotty oik with tattoos getting to no.1 singing songs about love you are really in the shit) ... and he's knocking around with Nicole Sherzinger! What a combination! It is only a matter of time before they spawn a duet Sam. You've spelt that wrong Sam Its Nicole Shitsinger You can owe me a if you like Superclassic , Blimey son is that a weight off your shoulders now you've unloaded all that about them bands And for the record I like Ed Sheeran He is a good British talent and a nice bloke. The geezer can play, write and most importantly is not from the X Factor .

I mostly listen to instrumental music these days ( soundtracks, library music, etc. ), it saves a lot of bother as there are no personalties or egos to dislike or naff lyrics to be bothered by. Anything that's current, including films, tv, etc. comes with a load of baggage whereas stuff that's been & gone is forgotten about by most so you're free to enjoy it at face value.

There's a lot of forgotten gems out there Arthur. I only fairly recently got into to similar music thanks to the Sweeney library stuff.

Mumford And Sons......utter bloody rubbish.
Bob Dylan....the bloke is marmite.I hate marmite.Don't get him.And he can't bloody sing,that's for sure.
Barry Manilow....now,'Mandy' is a great tune.But for Christs' sake-'Bermuda Triangle'?Are you taking the p**s mate?'Copacabana'?FFS.
Jimi Hendrix....I call it 'weeeeewahhhhh' music because that's all the guitar seems to do.Pffftttt. Mumford & Sons - from what little I have heard, they typify how mediocre current music can be, given that they are touted as stars. Bob Dylan - his best work was mid 60s. And I like it. Though you might think that someone who has such status would have had a long run of hit singles down the years since. Barry Manilow - 'Mandy' was good, but being a re-working of the previous hit 'Brandy' by Scott English, it wasn't his song. Possibly the best Manilow song was 'Could It Be Magic', in particular as recorded by Donna Summer. Jimi Hendrix - again I like a lot of his work but he can be bracketed with Dylan in that it is confined to a particular time in the 60s. I think the significance of Dylan and Hendrix is that they broke new ground at the time. Dylan's lyrics were supposed to make people think, Hendrix being a black American based in the UK broke down racial and cultural barriers. Subsequent artists were able to build upon their foundations, which they set down at a time when showbusiness was giving way to the more broad-minded 'music industry'. This was their significance, whereas as you say the nasal voice or 'weeeeewahhhhh' guitar can be neither here nor there.

Always going to be a controversial thread with the potential to bring the forum crashing down. Some comments about rap could've been your parents talking about Glam in 1973. Don't ever sound like your parents!
The one genre of rock/pop with absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever was Prog Rock. Pompous, overblown, pretentious and just plane boring.
So I HATE Genesis, Yes, ELP, Van Der Graaf Generator etc and their triple concept albums, one side of which would be a 25 minute drum solo. Utterly pointless.
Punk had to happen.
Then we got Phil Collins solo career. Dear me...dreary songs because his wife rightly left him for their painter and decorator. His first three albums are utterly interchangeable, Shit Value, No Face Required and Hello I've Got a Jacket. His "beginning of Eastenders drumming" is so overated. He's one tax avoider that can stay out of the country as far as I'm concerned.
They've been mentioned a few times and deserve to be again, Simply Red. Bland, bland, bland. Hucknall's arrogance knows no limits. Writing with Motown legend Lamont Dozier but having the credits as Hucknall/Dozier/Hucknall. Killing If You Don'T Know Me By Now stone dead with an insipid cover. Releasing an album called Songs For Bobby as if aligning yourself with a soul legend will bestow legendary status on you. Oi...Hucknall......NO!
I could go on.......
