The British Are Totally Wacked...

Everybody go to your favorite pay-per-download ( ) music website and download:

The Fast Food Song by the Fast Food Rockers.

This song is number 11 in the UK.

[Katamarino]

Might i point out that musical masterpieces such as 'The Mr Blobby Song' and 'The Tweenies' (not to mention the Spice Girls) have graced none other than the number one spot in the British charts at times!

Without having listened to this song, I'm guessing it's the one that goes 'McDonald's, McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Pizza Hut', right? If it is, this song is originally Dutch, one of many so-called 'party songs' the Dutch seem to be so 'good' at. Some idiotic Belgian act put a beat under it a year ago, and it made it to number 1 (!) in Belgium. Shame on us

It's got an idiotic dance to it as well: At 'McDonald's' everyone gestures the McDonald's 'M' sign above their heads, at 'KFC' they act like a chicken, and at 'Pizza Hut' they put their hand above their heads to form a little 'roof'. I repeat: Shame on us

Well i would admitt the UK pop scene is just absolute s***e, all these manufactured crap banging out lyrics of songs that have been out years.

Im so glad I only listen to Trance/House/Dance!

[Dan_Dair]

How dare you all!

WE ROCK!

As well as producing the best House / Trance / Dance in the world, anyone ever heard of....

Coldplay
Idlewild
Travis
Longwave
Radiohead

???

Apart from Split Enz, what's ever come from south of the equator?

[Katamarino]

Crowded House!!

[Greg]

Hey the U.S. has rap at the top of the chart once and awhile. That's just as bad.

[srbmod]

Can't forget about INXS, Midnight Oil, Men At Work, and don't forget about Nick Cave, all from Australia.

Here is IMHO, the best British musician:

And what about Creed and Evanescence???
They rock!!!


PS: Donīt forget the LP-charts!

[Soku39]

brit rock..

Idlewild freakin rocks, but theyre prety underground in the US. Idea song is one great track.

You also forgot Oasis. How could you !?

[Dan_Dair]

Not a fan of Oasis to be honest. I have my reasons.

Crowded House? Oh yeah, Neil Finn from Split Enz....

Men at Work? Oh my lord! ....he gave me a vegemite sandwich...nuff said.

INXS - vastly over-rated. Last had a hit.....oh let me see...last century!

May I also give you - Robbie Williams, Blur and Busted (lol)

[AEagle40]

I just got into british garage/rap/hip hop done by The Streets. Thats good music. And pretty funny too.

[Soku39]

The streets LOL nothing like a white british guy doing the rap game.. and succeeding.

IMHO, Blur was last any good back around 1996. The Great Escape was really their last decent album. Blur had some good tracks on it (other than Song 2), 13 was not too good, and the new one sucks.
