I think bands like Blur, Pulp, Oasis were all quite talented, they knew how to write a song. They played their own instruments.
I heard busted on radio 1 the other day, they did a cover of the Undertones classic, teenage kicks. It was terrible, i was forced to turn the radio to a different station.
Alot of the music today are covers, or this terrible rap come cheesy love songs, that appear on MTV all day.
I like eminem, i think he is inventive and his songs come from the heart.
The charts are either filled with pretty girls doing pop songs, or D list celebs trying to find a new way to make money. Or we have Gareth and Will, and the less said about those the better.
Maybe i am looking back on that time with a nostaglic affection, because i would talk about these songs at school, but i can't help feeling that the lack of talent in the charts at the moment is very bad for music.
