I used to like running to Linkin Park
because they start of all emo and ballady so you can get warmed up, then they go all nu-metal for the chorus, to which you can run really fast, then they chill again for the next emo verse.

I think they are one of the worst bands I have ever heard.

I enjoy colouring in, going to see films and long walks in the park with my friends.

Accentuate the positive, Monts, it'll make you a happier person all round.

Good morning everybody!

I like them...

Apart from
some of the worst lyrics ever - sample: 'slip inside the eye of your mind'? How fucking terrible. That makes 'Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?' (see below) seem positively Wildean.

Or hackneyed 3rd-rate pedestrian sub-Beatles tunes?

They produced the lyric I hate most in the world
"she's got a sister, god only knows how I miss her, on the palm of her hand is a blister"

It's like rhyming for three year olds!

Oasis lyrics could be written by a five year old
Take a word, any word, and rhyme it with a word, any word. Here is my oasis attempt:

Hey man take a word
Fly like a bird
And we can get hiiiiiiiiiiigh

Joking aside,
I do think everybody who fancies themselves as a lyricist should be forced to qualify themselves with a listen to a good dose of Ray Davies. And if that doesn't fix 'em, we break out the Jake Thackray.

it made me smile.

Didn't they have a giant lavatory on stage into which effigies of Britney Spears were thrown, or something?

Can anyone top this as the worst stage gimmick of all time? It makes Cypress Hill's giant inflatable joints seem positively cool...

It was the Spice Girls and Hansen they flushed

would you be there in the first place?

And if so would you consider simply having a good night to bad music?

I'm not that much of a churl. I have enough to decorum (I hope) that were I out at a night where they played music I didn’t like, I wouldn’t spoil it for people by being petulant. I’d simply smile and cry inside, and prop up the bar.

I won't even bother to say that Norwich moves with the times musically
as it would be utter bollocks.

I remembered yesterday and forgot to mention, the one thing I remember from my trip to Milton Keynes (in 1999) was a remarkably high proportion of well-endowed girls. Is this still the case?

There's a decent ratio.

they're not that bad
I think they're pretty inoffensive. Like Porky said, Oasis are way worse. I have to turn the radio off when they come on, which is a lot living in bloody Manchester.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 26 May 2010, 9:35, Reply)

Linkin Park do what they do very well
but I can see how they'd be offensive to a musical connoisseur like Monty. They did manage to make Jay-Z good for the only time in his career to date, though.

And Oasis are worse than everyone. Ever. Even Suede
