Jake Bugg is shit. I've probably said it years ago in this very thread, by the way! I never thought he was that much better than most young lads you see at acoustic nights up and down the country. All his known songs were co written with Iain Archer too. Still, I once sat and talked to him once for about half an hour and he was a nice lad, so good luck to him. I don't think he's shit at all, but I think you could replace him with hundreds of others just like him, give him the same songwriters he worked with and probably get a similar outcome. Then again, you could say that about 90% of people in music. |

I don't like Jimmy Hendrix at all. Maybe he did some revolutionary things with guitar, I don't know, maybe he played guitar behind is back and all that... It doesn't matter to me to be honest, when I play his record, it just sound like some boring, stereotypical 60s record. I look at him just as 60s rock poster boy. Music for old farts living in dusty apartments or for people who wants to show how cool and rock and roll they are and they say they listen to Jimmy but they know one or two of his songs(which he didn't wrote btw). No insult to real fans :-) Completely agree I find him pretty much unlistenable. I understand his influence but still, its not a great listen. His voice is pretty tuneless too. Even worse live. |

Lindsay Buckingham era Fleetwood Mac was always way superior to the naval gazing Peter Green era nonsense. Melodically, vocally, performance wise... just generally the songwriting is timeless classics that the Peter Green era can't hold a candle to.
The only people who think Green era is better are out of touch old white crusty males like Noel.

99% of psychedelic music from the 60s and 70s is meandering self indulgent rubbish.

Also agree, Jimi Hendrix is awful. The prime example of style over substance and a damaging legacy to rock music by inspiring guitar douche fret wankers all over the world. |

Here’s mine, flame on:
- Never heard a The Who song I’ve liked (but only heard the hits)
- Slide Away, Live Forever or Supersonic isn’t my favorite song from DM era (Listen Up is)
- Jimmy Eat World is the most criminally underrated band in the world (do they even register in the UK?) and are not a one-hit wonder
- I haven’t really liked a U2 song since Joshua Tree / Rattle and Hum days
- I find the following sacred cows boring (except for 1-2 songs): Neil Young, Lou Reed, Hendrix, Paul Weller, and David Bowie

The era of the great songwriters is over and ain't coming back.
Society has too many distractions and doesn't have the attention to cultivate songwriters. Imagine Noels train of thought being interrupted while writing Live Forever by checking twitter every two minutes. The song would be a half baked good idea at best.
