I am quite glad you said sorry in a very roundabout type of way because I was building up to a bit of a rant at you.........

Very well put Sappho..
Music is very much individual taste and for someone to rubbish another persons taste, in an offensive manner, is really not on.
I will admit here that I love Gregorian Chant (now that should provoke some derision)
lol
Paul
Not at all Paul...
I love Gregorian chant, esp playing in the background when no one else about.....
Also Hildergard of Bingen.... feather on the breath of God.... delicious.....
and in a similar manner,
Les Voix de les bulgares........just puts the hairs up on the back of my neck..... exquisite voices....
oooh I feel all un necessary.... I suspect I may have to put Steve Wright to one side for a while...

Gman;
I had some chant playing a couple of years back (whilst I did my ironing - very soothing - the chant not the ironing) when my son said " What's that rubbish". " Monks mate" came my quick reply.
" Don't they have anything better to do" was his retort.
I will of course show him Sappho's post re the topic

Actually Paul - so do I - wonderfully peaceful!

Totally dismayed at the number of posts supporting Cold Play..all I can say is OH MY GOD what are you guys on.....f*****g inane or what. Hang on I gotta go watch the paint dry in my newly decorated bedroom....one swallow does not make a summer (or some saying to that efffect!!!!!)
OK, better make scarce re: the backlash....all I have to say is go get some taste!!!

Stu - surely everyone is entitled to their own taste. And who is to say whether there taste is good or bad. it's ok to joke but to infer someone else's taste is that bad isn't fair. This world would be terribly sad and boring if everyone liked the same things.
Alex,
talking about tatse, what on earth are you doing to that poor little pussy?
i know - don't you feel sorry for my little pussy?
I'd love to come and kiss it better...
ooooo thank you!
ooooops - best stop hijacking this thread! redface

Sorry Alexandra, I disagree, you, as well as anyone, should know the value of being able to express your own opinion, therefore I am neither right nor wrong, but merely me, my own opinion, my taste, but now it seemsI am to be criticised for passing that opinion and therefore falling foul of the very rights you appear to be defending above! I merely offer that ColdPlay, in my humble are shit....
I know that everyone won't appreciate my taste and I don't expect them too...but I expect to be able to pass my opinion.... ColdPlay are shit....rip me apart for it...it is merely my opinion, my taste...say what you will...it won't change...ppl say it about my taste...it doesn't bother me....I don't care I am confident in what I like and know....I don't need to defend it...why do you feel the need to?
Opinion is valid, taste is individual....debate is open....critcism of one's opinion whether it be re: taste or not is petty!!!!
Ahhh Stu - I never said I either agreed or disagreed with your musical tastes. If your tastes differ from mine or indeed anyones on this site - then surely that is a good thing.
What I thought was unfair was for you to infer that anyone who liked Coldplay had no taste. They merely have a different taste to yours - not a lack of taste.
I once made a joke (and it definitely was only a joke) about someone liking motown and I was launched into on here about maligning other peope's tastes.

Then surely that is opinion, you said that I was wrong to infer that someone elses tastes were wrong, that to say they were bad is wrong,....
It's not wrong, just a difference of opinion, alright we all have different tastes (thank God) but I can say that if I think something ..ie ColdPlay are shit...cos I do..cos its my opinion and that I think that anyone who likes them has no taste..cos again its my opinion..then I can ..cos i am expressing my opinion!
I don't give a shit if I am saying anyone else is wrong...cos I am expressing my thoughts...MY OPINION...and I will defend that right to the end of the earth!!
I am was merely passing an OPINION...a right I have...a right I have to phrase it how I feel...I don't need two bit lectures in in individual taste....I appreciate that..I was trying to be individual...cos I am one and know my own tastes..and don't need anyone elses approval!
ColdPlay are inane, boring and repetitive to me....they provide nothing new or exciting, they make me turn off the radio or tv....that's merely how I feel..I passed my humble opinion...I wish that we could all stop criticising everyone for passing opinions and debate real considerations!

V true Alex - judging by the music threads on here theres as much difference as there is overlap and I for one applaud that no end. I'd hope others simply see this as areas where they don't agree rather than areas where the other person is wrong ! wink

I like the way this topic has made feathers fly :twisted:
MUSIC...POLITICS....SEXUAL DEVIANCES...CARS...FOOTBALL...MEN v WOMEN any others you want to add...?
The things we will argue over eh...lets all agree we have our own favorites..no exceptions and anyone who gets riled is up for a slap... Lets make love not war....
:rose:
i agree with Fran coldplay are absolute shite but thats my opinion every time they are played on the radio i do this banghead then either change radio station or turn the crap off
Gmanxxx where did u get that avatar...I need it now...

Hey folks ... there is alot that lots of peeps dislike alot.... all they need do is hit the delete or off button
I listen to radio cos I like to be introduced to new things
Some here have a different varied outlook to me.... that doea not make their faves Crap or shite... just different, I would have at least thought that on here we may have enbraced musical diversity in a better manner.... maybe musical appreciation is on a diff level to sexual understanding and appreciation... I had hoped not but some here seem to display characteristics that suggest otherwise
rememeber discrimination and acceptance of diversity is important to all
Gmanxxx

Hi Gmanxxx,
I think my little rant last night seems to be tptally out of sync with what I was actually trying to say...needless to say I wasn't in a great frame of mind having had some untoward emails etc.
I have to say if I offended anyone....sorry...my original post was tongue in cheek and it was my opinion..still is...maybe the "sharp" side of my keyboard came out too much. After all the crap on here in some recent posts about opinions etc, I was off on one defending peoples' rights to air their opinion....whoops....I overdo it again.
I hope no harm done and I agree we all are entitled to our tastes....howver i still think Coldplay are shite..lol...
Stu......
Rather than negativity towards a particular band why not tell us what your tastes are? sad
I think that the type of music an individual enjoys tells something of that person. As people visit this site to meet people then knowing musical taste is another piece to the jigsaw of picture we build up of people who post in this forum. :P

Maybe perhaps you should count backwards from 10, take a deep breath and then have a long think about what you want to say.
Then, once you have typed it out, read it to ensure it is what you actually mean to say, before you press the 'submit' button. rolleyes

Rachel...already did..way back on this thread, but let's say it is eclectic from Rachmaniov to Rage Against the Machine, Big Country to Bahaus, Kylie to the Kinks, Abba to Angel and the Baalam, the Doors to D12, Eels to Eminem, Cypress Hill to Chopin, Yousef Latief to Sonic Youth, Sinatra to Smash Mouth!
I'll pretty much go for anything bar ColdPlay, Boy Bands, and the Pop Idol/Fame School clan!
As to a type of music a person enjoys telling something about that person, I'm not so sure after all not many Right Said Fred appreciators also like Napalm Death...yet I have both in my collection. What does that tell you about me? I would say that I am an open minded appreciator of music, but when I know I don't like something I really don't like it.
ColdPlay's Parachutes was once in my collection for a brief period, then it did a great deed and went to the Salvation Army Shop...I don't know if provided any Salvation for being sold for 50p but it certainly gave my ears great salvation!!!!! surprised :o :o :o :o :o
As I said, I merely passed an opinion...I had thought, though it seems that there are many ColdPlayers out there who feel the need to offer this band some sort of defence...Why? I feel no need to defend anything in my collection bar " I like it..it floats my boat".
Maybe I was a little wrong in believeing that of others? I am sorry if you Coldplayers have been offended by my opinion...it won't change my opinion but I am truly sorry if you feel all offended by my anti-coldplay stance! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Stu of the "not gonna be ready for the munch at this rate" variety!
The Smiths easily!!!Followed by The The then Kate Bush who i have actually seen live on her only ever tour! biggrin
Okay ..well glad everyones talking again. .all opinions are indeed opinions... so leaving it at that would be a good idea i think...
Coz all that coldplay bashing got on my tits.. lol .. oh shit... the words "worms" and "can" spring to mind. here we go again.
