Blunt and to the point but 100% true
I disagree totally and could say the same for the Ramones and the rolling stones sounding stale and boring, but I would probably get shot down on these boards for that so I won't. Each to their own. Some of my favourite bands are The Wildhearts, UFO, Faith No More, Stone Temple Pilots and Living Colour. However maybe apart from the wildhearts and FNM non of them had any real street cred so I could quite easily get shot down for that. I hated Nirvana because everyone liked them (don't mind them now) and that's why I'm not a huge fan of Think Lizzy, because UFO were always overlooked, yet were brilliant, but UFO were not cool and Phil Lynotts Thin Lizzy were. If I played Market Harbour to a rock fan they would say it wasn't cool. I play it to a wildhearts fan and all of a sudden it is. You see my point. Because ginger is cool, everything is. Yet Dire Straits were the kings of dullness because at the time the sex pistols were brilliantly cool. Why can't there be room for everyone - apart from James Blunt and The Kooks. Oh well, that's life.
I think you missed the main word in my post which was I, "I" think they sound stale and boring besides the Ramones did sound the same on near enough eveything they did but they had something that meant they could get away with it.
