I get very irritated by Athlete. I find their stuff very samey, I don't like the singer's voice, their videos are incredibly annoying, down to the pose adopted by the drummer when he plays. I find it very hard to imagine anyone liking them!

Which current band or artist has this effect on you?

No Doubt
Dave Matthews
John Mayer
Jack Johnson

Gwen Stephani can not sing! My God! What is wrong with her vouce? When she talks she sounds like a normal person, but when she sings there is something terribly wrong!!!!!!

someone I know was slagging off Robbie Williams a few days ago, saying that he hated him ecause of his smug face and wanted to punch it in! I could never get like this about Williams because, while I see the guy's point. Williams has made some very good records and has pulled off quite a neat trick by attracting both the indie and teenybop markets.

The thing about Athlete is that *so many* things annoy me about them, in a way that other "major label indie" (as it were) don't - I largely ignore Travis, Starsailor, Coldplay as I regard them as dull, whereas I find I can't ignore Athlete, they grab my attention and I don't like what I see.

The only person I think approaches them for being annoying is Davids Gray - a sacreligious Soft Cell cover, his bobbing head when he plays ect ect...

I don't really mind No Doubt as it goes - Don't Speak is OK, they've done a reasonble job of covering Talk Talk's It's my Life.

You ever hear her sing live?

I've never been to one of their concerts but I have seen television appearances. Her voice is just awful!!!

Azure Ray irritate me all to hell because their lyrics are lazy and trite, they sing with out any semblance of passion and sound like they've been downing quaaludes by the truckload. Yet I sort of like a couple of their songs enough to wish they tried harder.

Kind of ditto with Bright Eyes, a few of his songs aren't that bad and he has talent, but the voice is so whiny and annoying and the lyrics are soooo repetitive after a while that I just want to smack him and tell him to stop being so myopically self-pitying. Plus his screaming fanboys/girls are kind of a legion of fear.

And I actually *like* whiny music...

I just remembered that shot near the end of Simple Plan's "I'll Do Anything" video when the guitarist and bass player spin around, visibly not playing their instruments while the music carries on all the same. I haven't thought about that image in ages. I just thought I'd share it with you.

I hate simple plan as well. Hate their videos too.

I think I hate Dave Matthew's videos the most though.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 25 January 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

there's also that moment in the Plan video where Mark "the state looks down on sodomy" Hoppus sings the chorus hook while pointing at lead Simple Pube Pierre, who reacts in mock surprise. Sacre bleu!

I hate it when they jump!

Linkin Park and Good Charlotte.
