Robbie v Liam

There's so much great music out there...

...that the amount of time wasted on some same old rubbish baffles me. I skipped the article about the tiff between Liam Gallagher (in my opinion, one good album (I think it's the first one, it's the one with Cigarettes and Alcohol on it) before disappearing off into some quasi-Bootleg Beatles purgatory) and Robbie Williams (no good output whatsoever, as one of the Gallagher brothers put it, he's just the fat dancer out of Take That). There's nothing wrong with Take That and similar manufactured boy bands, as long as you are a pre-pubescent girl. Otherwise, take a long look at yourself.

So, anyway, I skipped the articles and went to the comments, because that's where the fun in these things is always going to be.

teaandchocolate got things off to a good start with: “Robbie Williams, the man who makes songs you can skip to.”

Tee-ing up thehitchrules for: “delete to.”

Then the one we were waiting for, wading in with size eleven boots, BlankFrack: “What kind of person “likes” Robbie Williams? Someone's stupid, fat, blind and deaf mother, perhaps?” Way to go BlankFrack.

izzy100 summed up my point of view, without the abuse and bad language: "The popularity of Robbie Williams – one of life's great mysteries.”

sorrythisusernameis also summed up my view: “The trouble with boy bands is that we're left with the dregs for years after.”

I liked FellsLunartik's post:

“Robbie Williams makes non-music - by that I mean, it's just not quite anything - for people that buy about two albums a year.

Oasis came out the gates brilliantly....but it didn't take too long for the interviews to be ten times more interesting and entertaining than the albums.
This ongoing 'feud' has all the dignity and grace of a dog turd in a sandpit.”



Last word goes to marktheowl:



“Normally it would be germane after any article about Liam Gallagher to comment on what an out and out tit he was, but in the case of an article that also includes Robbie Williams his bellendry is like a dwarf gnat's chode in comparison.
Aliens probably have tried to contact us, but when they found Williams was in the welcoming party they probably decided they wouldn't bother, not even needing to wipe us out with a heat-ray as any world in which 'Sing When You're Winning' could exist was doomed.”

Nice one marktheowl. Imagine the interstellar speed of light vessel with the super-species about to make contact and teach us how to live in peace and harmony and not wreck the planet to satisfy corporate greed, when they tune into Chris Moyles and decide to go look at somewhere more promising instead.
