Bands a lot of people seem to enjoy, but which you can't get into

I once watched an Italian band in an Irish pub in Rome ripping off U2 for two hours: U2 covers, originals which sounded like U2 covers - all the time with that horrible digital delay guitar thing. This, and sung with an Italian accent.

Last October I spent the evening in a bar just south of Tijuana listening to fat dudes in sombreros singing Eagles covers in heavy Mexican accents. :lol:

Arctic Monkeys.

I realised the other day that he sings in a Yorkshire accent. Presumably everyone else finds this alluring, exotic and sexually arousing, which is why they are popular.

Three words I never thought would be used to describe Yorkshire :P...

I don't like any other song of theirs but that is the fuckin bollocks, even right down to that exact video and the way they perform it, it's got a proper dancey groove to it, it's straight ahead, it's energetic, it's jittery sounding, like it's coked up, even the way the lead guy holds his fuckin' guitar, up to his tits like it was 1961, it just all looks different, quirky, the croaky drummers backing vocals help the pacing along, like there's someone 5 miles behind the track, the way he sings and sounds exactly like what and who he is, no matter what sorts of people there are out there that reckon singing shouldn't be that way, even down to the lyrics and the way that last line before the chorus is all crammed in and pacey bringing you right up to that pay off chorus, that "lighting the fuse might result in a bang b-b-bang, go!", it's all a little quirky, a little different, it has something and in recent years it's absolutely the best fuckin' debut single i've heard, it's just a shame nothing else they did was quite in that sort of direction.

I think its note perfect from one end to the other :)

My mate paid 'em £100 to play The Arena in Boro back in about 2005. If anybody's got the first album there's a thank you in the liner notes to "Gaz from Boro". :lol:

I've always thought they and the Beastie Boys were two of the most overrated musical groups ever.

Beasties are the pioneers of rap-rock, that alone prevents them from being overrated.

Rotten Rap! :D
