Reply #136: Much like the U.S., the Brits have contributed their fair share of shitty music

[LTR]

Here's a short list of crap, saps, one-hit wonders, tabloid darlings, washouts, etc., that I got off Wikipedia:

Spice Girls
Right Said Fred
Take That
Climie Fisher
S Club 7
Boy George
Mungo Jerry
Marilyn
Dead or Alive
Kajagoogoo
Naked Eyes
Davey Jones (of the Monkees)
M People
Engelbert Humperdinck
Kissing the Pink
Mel and Kim
Bee Gees (yes, I said it!)
Cutting Crew
The Darkness
Inspiral Carpets
Muse
Prefab Sprout
T'Pau
Taxxi
Coldplay (yes, I said it!)
GTR
Foghat (or, as I call them Hogfat)
Asia
All Saints
Babyshambles
Curiosity Killed the Cat
Dexys Midnight Runners
The Escape Club
EMF
Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers
Level 42
Mike + The Mechanics
Pepsi & Shirlie
Pop Will Eat Itself
Wham!

This is only a partial list, as there are many others that probably had a quick blast of fame and glory, but are thankfully forgotten. Try this list and go from there:

So just like the U.S., which has contributed garbage like N'Sync and Vanilla Ice can also give us Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Frank Zappa and Bob Dylan, every other country around the world contributes their fair share of the great and not-so-great.

BTW: Oasis sucks.
