    Coldplay? Oh please.

    Muse and Hurts.

    But both are amazing. The former slightly less so in recent times.

    Also: Ke$ha is one of those artists who's 100% not pretentious. The amount of parody videos she takes part in taking the p**s out of herself for a joke is funny. She can have a laugh about herself and that's quite commendable.

    Liam Gallagher is pretentious however...but I'm sure that goes without saying! (Although sometimes I think he's just having a joke...but you can't tell what is what anymore)

    Morrissey's giving many a run for their money now, what with his dictating what his crew can eat and now saying '**** you' to his own fans. It'd be easier to swallow if he'd done anything worth hearing in the last 6 years.

    I was thinking of them walking off stage-and cancelling the gig- because a pigeon sh*t on their bassist. They also wouldn't let Glee use one of their songs.

    Also seem to remember them not wanting to shake hands with some fans, not without wearing gloves... but that may have been a weird dream I had :D

    I think you mean they kept going until one shat in the bassist's open mouth. Not just on him, in his mouth.

    Foo Fighters also haven't let Glee use their songs because they don't like the show. Why should they involve themselves with a project they don't like?

    It was last summer in USA- google it. Don't think the poop went in his mouth, just near it.

    The story is a bit more detailed than you made it. Both support acts also walked out and they were hit several times.

    Last July according to this.

    They tried carrying on but as mentioned the bassist Jared got the bird sh*t full in the mouth. He seems a bit up himself having read his Twitter page but I wouldn't call any of them pretentious.



    Another vote for Bono/U2 from me.

    Lady GaGa. For such an accomplished pianist she does write such piss poor pop music. Listen love, dressing like an idiot and pretending to be weird does not make a good musician.
    Bono. He and the band have wrote some good songs but for gods sake man please stop bleating on about apartheid, politics and starving kids in Africa.
    Chris Martin. Talks crap, dances like a gimp and writes boring mediocre, media pandering music.

    PJ Harvey (but I like her pretensions).
    Michael Jackson because many of his fans seem to think everyone was racist before he went solo, there were no black artists that preceded him, he single-handledly changed the zeitgeist and that Thriller is a brilliant song.

    Haahaha I agree. What about Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Otis Reading etc etc etc?
