The British have no taste in music

Recently England voted on the best songs of all time. Here's the top ten.
1 Live Forever – Oasis
2 Wonderwall – Oasis
3 Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
4 A Day In The Life – The Beatles
5 One – U2
6 Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
7 Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
8 Stairway To Heaven – Led Zeppelin
9 Bitter Sweet Symphony – The Verve
10 Paranoid Android – Radiohead

The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Cream, Sabbath - no, these talented, innovative bands (and so many, many more) can't hold a candle to the whiny hacks of Oasis and their treacly, derivative garbage.

No band on earth can take a lousy song and rewrite it 200 times over like Oasis can!

Way to go, Britain. Real sense of taste you got there.


British Musical Taste: A Brief Timeline

1960's - Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who
1970's - Sex Pistols, The Clash, Led Zeppelin
1980's - The Smiths, Adam and the Ants, Duran Duran
1990's - Oasis, Blur
2000's - Crazy Frog, assorted boy bands, "Pop Idol", and fucking Coldplay

By the 2010's, I expect the biggest chart toppers will be looped recordings of old Speak & Spells.


The cow goes moo! MOO MOO MOO. The cow goes moo! MOO MOO MOO. Dammit, now I can't get that bloody MOO MOO MOO out of my head!
