Been watching a load of old music videos on YouTube today. For me Freddie Mercury's solo stuff was pretty awful.
What else in the music industry probably should not have happened?

Bob Dylan, should never have got behind a mic and kept to writing songs. :duck:Quote:

Beady Eye. Derivative rubbish.
Yes should never have conceived never mind formed.
Pink Floyd should have formed to make some of DSOTM then immediately disbanded and I wouldn't have cared if they hadn't recorded anything at all.

It's funny that The Monkees, the original manufactured boys' band, became a global sensation by mistake.
Never been a fan of him or queen, but I have to say some of the stuff he put out when he knew he was dying was great changed my opinion of him.Quote:

Plan B going pop. I remember seeing him when he was still a rapper and was very impressed with him. Since then he's been a hard working but dull artist.
T in the Park chasing the Radio 1 crowd. That's as fickle as they come, the crowd deserts you after a while and in the end it alienated the more traditional festival goer in Scotland. Now they're stuck with the same Biffy/Killers/Kings of Leon/Insert Lad Rock Band Here cycle of headliners as there are now few that will sell tickets.
There are also a lot of bands who could have been much more successful by splitting at a certain point, taking a few years out, then making a bigger stir by reuniting for a reunion tour, more albums etc. Sonic Youth, Idlewild etc.
The laughing gnome by David Bowie or McCartneys Frog Chorus are serious blemishes on two of musics greats.
T fell away badly towards the end same bands every couple years then went very dancy a lot of things improved over the years but the main the the music declined in my opinion. Used to look forward to my w/end at baladoQuote:

Weller breaking up The Jam to form The bloody Style Council is the ultimate should never have happened.
Will Young should never have beaten Gareth Gates in the final of Pop Idol
This thread with its outrageous slurs!
They shouldn’t have made sequels to The Matrix.
Nope. Horrible “music” for pissed up Blackpool hen nights. Have a few musician friends who think the same way. Tawdry Poundland rock.Quote:

Too much hate there and I wouldn't really pay too much attention to what musos say. I don't quite get the hen night connection at all. And Poundland rock is an odd phrase to use given the band's extravagances!Quote:

Other Voices and Full Circle.
Basically the Doors without Jim Morrison.
Tin Machine
And there's your problem right there. It's never about the music with them, it's about "extravagance", "flamboyance", where the music is hideously overworked, overproduced tosh. It's aged horribly. Add the fact they never had the shame to turn down an "opportunity" - apartheid South Africa immediately springs to mind. Tory rock.Quote:

You had to be there.Quote:

Only by the night just chased the pop crowd. It was essentially what t in the park did. Sold out big style.
I didn't see them play Murrayfield after that album, but I asked someone who did if they played the bucket. They didn't know that song ffs.
Come Around Sundown has some great tunes; Pyro, Back Down South and Radioactive are excellent.Quote:
