Talk about a low bar.

Katy Perry is a Christian music reject (and, having being exposed to CCM growing up, that seems pretty fucking hard to manage). She only made it big when she started flaunting her chest and singing about kissing another girl.

Nicki Minaj is the worst "artist" to ever hit radio. There is no redeeming aspect to her music whatsoever (and I don't think there's many redeeming aspects to HER, period).

Gaga's act is obnoxiously over the top, and I don't care for her, but at least she's got some sense on how to construct songs (she can write a hook, if nothing else, and when it comes to pop that's more important than being "good").

Rihanna is an idiot. I actually think she can sing reasonably well, but her songs are insanely repetitive and god awful. Plus, she took back the guy who turned her face into hamburger, so that shows her IQ.

Amy Winehouse...meh.

Anyway, I gave a few of The National's songs a listen: it's nothing I'd listen to on a regular basis, but it's not awful.

All that said, this is the first single from my favorite album so far this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXp4hdd2pk Feel free to disregard my taste in music entirely.

^Lol, Katy Perry is what you're knackered about

I'm more offended at his insulting of Rihanna! She's a goddess of music, I wasn't a fan at first either. I assumed she was just one of those artists that appears and does the chorus in other people's songs, but she's so much more. Idk who produces her music, but each of her new singles finds a new way to be catchy and addictive. I keep wondering when every one of her songs will start sounding the same (the tragedy with female pop artists), but it hasn't happened yet.

Her taste in men is...questionable, but I find nothing wrong with her music.

And tallninja, listen to Enter Shikari for proper post-hardcore. Way better than that redneck rock
in the video you posted HAHA.

I'm familiar with Enter Shikari: never really got into them for whatever reason.

Really?? Idk, I've listened to a bunch of bands in the genre and Shikari are one of the pioneers in the genre for good reason. Hadouken! is really good too. You should give Shikari another chance. Hard to find anyone in America (at least in my college) who likes Shikari, much less has even heard of them.

So does Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and One Direction...

And you have absolutely shit taste in music.

It's retards like you that give these no talent idiots millions.

"The National are such a powerfully gifted band, they need no theatrics to deliver an absolutely stone-cold beast of an album. With the music that is on here there is yet another thirteen songs to savor and salivate over until the next batch of songs comes about."

"It's exceptionally crafted, it's gorgeously composed and it's remarkably rendered by a band that might just be the very best we have today."

"Like a perfectly attired woman, the National are fleetingly alluring, never gaudy, subtly enchanting."

And your favourite:

"The remainder of Teenage Dream is a raunchy pop nightmare, with A-list producers lining up to churn out some of the worst work of their careers."

"While undeniably catchy, the hyper-produced songs have a familiar radio-ready quality that becomes infuriatingly mind-numbing over time, and Perry's vocals sound like a less-soulful Kelly Clarkson at best, a drunken, spurned sorority girl at worst."

"...if you’ve got even a passing interest in actually enjoying a record, don’t buy this one."

Did I mention you have terrible taste in music?

idk; I certainly don't think they're a bad band by any stretch, but I'm typically not very big on electronic music, and Shikari is as much electronic metal as they are post-hardcore.

Never thought I'd meet someone who's not a fan of electronic music in this decade! That explains why you're averse to them though.

In that case, may I recommend some John Denver? It's not quite screamo or post-hardcore, but it does touch your soul all the same.

Rammstein is the only metal I listen to.

Elena Tonra, Dolores O'riordan, and Natalie Walker are the only 3 good female singers that ever existed.
^^ LOL

You don't even know who they are...You think Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj is good. So you just proved you're a retarded skin head with no real sense of what good music is.

No I don't, apart from the singer of the cranberries, but no way they are the 3 best singers that have existed when going against people like Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Janis Joplin, Patsy Cline, Adele, lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Hayley Williams and my biased favourite Paloma Faith.

Makes a list of like 10 picks 1 to laugh at, Hayley Williams has made Paramore successful, she has a great voice and great control

But fine lets change her for Lana del Rey, still better than the 3 you posted.
No offence to Dolores O'riordan but her only real great song was Linger.
