Thumbbass 319 Posted April 4 It was a huge personal disappointment to find out Bob Vylan was from, and even worse, supports Ipsquit. But, 'He's a man' would be a good theme tune for any stone island wearing moron. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw him at Rebellion last year-enjoyed the music, very loud and punky, but I was not so impressed about the lyrics-some very angry songs about the police.

But it's a whole other thing to set a threshold and attempt to denounce others on that basis, doing so is a prime example of elitism in music. Go to any school kids talent show and see someone performing "Sheeran music" solo with an acoustic and tell them they don't care. Frankly if they’re not covering Nick Drake or John Martyn then they clearly have no taste, are sh*t and should stop wasting everyone’s time. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martyn influenced many, including Sheeran. So although you're having a little joke there, it's not all that far removed than you think, just a different package for a different generation. It's likely that If Sheeran was an underground artist doing the same thing, the snobs would all be up his ****. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,426 Posted April 4 (edited) 5 hours ago, Google Bot said: I don't like him myself, but I hate elitism around music like this. Liking Ed Sheeran doesn't mean you lack care for music, and to give him some credit he's one of the few top artists who is regularly holding a guitar in his hand. It's mainstream, sure, but he's responsible for many kids picking up a guitar today. You know what, to an extent, I agree. It was a throwaway post and I was looking at it through a pretty narrow lens. As you've said he plays and instrument but he's also known for writing his own and the songs of a lot of others, or at least co-writing. Whilst I don't like many of these songs they clearly do well so he is talented in that regard. That being said if you're only really listening to whatever is on radio 1 whilst driving to work I'd still struggle to call you a music fan. It would like saying you're into literature having only read EL James and Stephanie Meyer or are really into games despite only playing Flappy Bird and Candy Crush. At worst it's a very light form of elitism, probably the right amount. Although of course if you do only want to listen to Ed Sheeran in the car and read 50 Shades Of Grey then go for it.

......and Smith must score. 1,355 Posted April 4 One of the good things about being old is I haven’t a clue as to what any of Sheeran’s output sounds like. From what posters on this thread have said about him maybe that’s a blessing….. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,195 Posted April 4 (edited) I have tried a few times with his music on YouTube, but have given up. I's awful. I went back to Neil Young, a million miles difference in the music and the talent involved in making it good to listen to.

Exactly this. But that's exactly the type of music which ends up getting the radio play at 8am and in all the family friendly Spotify playlists, and getting the PRS payments for being played in chain shops, hence why he's absolutely minted.
