@Snowy Sauces. North London has lots of sauces. I've met journalists who have interviewed them, roadies who worked with them, shop keepers and waiters who have served them, cabbies who have driven them. The reputation of Pink Floyd is as being massive divas.

They are big mates with Jeremy Corbyn and supporters of the BDS movement too. Their uber left-wing, preachy activism matched with their personal conspicuous consumption is irritating. Roger Waters has shared a stage with known antisemites and Holocaust deniers. He claimed, without evidence, that Israel was to blame for the death of George Floyd. He accused the White Helmets of faking Asad's chemical strike on Douma in 2016.

Love the music, but can't stand them as people.

I think brilliant musicianship often goes part and parcel with being a cock.

It’s when you’re a cock AND the music is shit ( U2, Oasis, Bieber, Kanye West ) that it’s unforgivable

That's harsh, or just music people wankery , on 3 of them.

A mate of mine who was a radio DJ interviewed the Beastie Boys and they were dicks, makes it a wee bit harder to listen to someones music when you know they're dickheads.

@MN5 oh come on now, you're nowhere near as talented as those guys.

I think Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time but he sounds like he was an absolute cock. I can seperate the two comfortably.

Great example. Yet I’ll happily turn off Gary Glitter. I’m such a hypocrite

Kanye West's music is total shite.

Kanye West's music is total shite.

Kanye's early stuff was bloody good. Then his music disappeared up his arse with the rest of him.

Also I thought that would be a popular opinion around this place anyway.

A bit like U2. They've done little good since Achtung Baby

The Black album was a necessity for Metallica's longevity.

Yeah, I wouldn't listen to Glitter. Like I wont watch a Polanksi movie. We know those two did the crime ... it's still up in the air about MJ - and his music was a class above Glitters. So sign me up to the hypocrite club.

@MN5 David Bowie was a great artist and a top bloke. Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger have remained incredibly down to earth despite massive fame and wealth over many years.

Yep, and I think that recent doco had the opposite effect on me than what it intended.

For rich guy who pays very little tax and has lots of grunts around him to do the hard work, Bono sure likes to tell us poorer folk how we should spend our money and what we should think.

Oh and just to rub it in I've seen Waters live a couple of years ago.

I've seen him twice myself. The first he played the entire DSOTM, and second was The Wall Live. Hell of a show both of them.
