Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Little Mix, One Direction, Shayne Ward, JLS, Olly Murs, Rebecca Furguson, Ray Quinn, Stacey Solomon, Fleur East. Need I go on? Binned off and returned to pub singer? I don't think so!
We can all pick out pictures of the pretty ones in our genre and ugly ones in the genres we don't like.
The first 3 on my list for instance v Judas Priest, Motorhead, Teamrock, Slipknot. We can all play that game. Proves nothing.

You should try listening to some music with a bit of melody to it Abs. Do you know melody? Dictionary definition " A sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying, a tune.":p

If synthasised music for teenage girls floats your melody boat then good for you ..but I prefer my music that doesn't groom young girls .

At least X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent look for new names rather than some jungle D-list squad. I'm not sure about all the winners of X-Factor but nobody can say BOT has an age barrier. Well actually Boyle didn't win but she was the one people remembered. Can't say its my type of music what she produces but at least she can sing. The auditions are generally the best part though I can't understand why people willingly put themselves through such humiliation. The bad ones obviously and while some of them may be truly deluded others must know they haven't got a hope in hell. I wouldn't audition for X-Factor because I can't sing and am fully aware of it. Wouldn't go on BOT either fame isn't something that is of interest to me.

Boyle was never on X Factor. She was on Britain's got talent. Probably another popular programme that Abbey doesn't like because it doesn't hurt the ears. Don't try to tell me that hard rock doesn't used synthesised instruments. What else are screaming electric guitars and synthesisers? At least proper melodic music uses proper instruments and the voices are not strangulated. That's why it is popular with the general public as opposed to the brain dead and partially deaf. One needs actual talent to produce proper music.

Daft argument this. I learned half a century ago that music is subjective Great divide formed back then at our school about which was best progressive or soul music. People not only argued blacks white but their clothes and hairstyles changed to suit. I rem staying firmly in the middle. Bloody daft cos as far as I am concerned there is good and bad in all types of music. I like some rock, some blues, some jazz, some popular and some classical..... even some hymns!!! The only genre's I can't really take to are country and western, opera and that godawful christian chanting that they do.... I think it's part of or called 'matins'. Point being that some even like those three.

Yes I know. Not sure why Britain's Got Talent has to have singers as well. X-Factor is more than adequate.

Must admit to liking that but I wouldn't call it hard rock. Just a rock group showing that they can play decent music if they try.

I think we're talking about 2 different things. I think you're talking about Death / Thrash metal, which I agree is gash. It's like being assaulted for 3 or 4 minutes at a time by someone who thinks screaming is singing. I'm not one of these rock snobs who will turn their nose up at anything that doesn't have a guitar in it - I was brought up on a diet of Motown, Soul and that 80s new romantic rubbish mi ma used to listen to. I agree with you, a song needs structure, melody, etc. or it's just noise not music.

But, I think lumping all of rock in with that does a great disservice to a lot of great, influential bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, who have had (and are still having) long spanning careers that the likes of Little Mix and Sam Smith could only dream of. New albums and sell out tours 30 and 40 years after first emerging. In fact, I'd put good money on little mix to have disappeared long before Maiden and Deep Purple finally call it a day. Now THATS talent.

Motown was never my cup of tea Reidy although some of the soul bands with pork pie hats and featuring trumpets and sax were pretty damned good whilst Phil Spectre's wall of sound worked amazingly with some of the Motown groups.
