That would mean no Mogwai for a start (haha, fat ginga Stuart actually signed one piece of critical writing as Stuart from Mogwai, HND... HND!!! LOL!), no pudgy Pop Idol winners and definately no Chris Martin!

actually, it's the attractive people who should quit. Ugly folks rule (but Mogwai should still hang it up, agreed)

If attractive people quit all my fave bands would not exist. And Debbie Harry would never have happened. Not good.

Fucking thick people should not be allowed to start threads: Discuss

Oooooh, somebody else never got past HND stage evidently.

I don't get Calum. How old is he? What are his motives? ...why?

calum have you not learnt yet that what you find attractive is different from what everyone finds attractive? in fact i think the only thing you and i have in common is an attraction to emma bunton. and hey, some of my favourite songs are by ugly bands! look at loverboy! if ugly people weren't allowed to make music, my first band would've had no bass player!

everything but the girl aren't especially pretty and make fantastic music.

My question to C-Man remains:

Do you actually Buy any records by these lovely looking pop stars?

Holly Valance, Kylie, etc? Have you actually ever put money in their pockets? Or are you purely happy to see them around?

i enjoy wearing fur.

Most jazz musicians I can think of are pretty "ugly"ish, tho I guess maybe they'd sneak in cos they also tend to look pretty cool

C-Man can learn nothing from this board. but that's not the board's fault.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 2 January 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Seeing as he's better-educated and better read than anyone else on the board, not to mention more moral, and he gets out more too, well, really it's us who should be trying to learn from him, duh.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 2 January 2004 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

these threads are dying a bit tho. they only seem to attract around 20-30 new answers each time now.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 2 January 2004 12:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, that's such a shame, isn't it.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 2 January 2004 12:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just realised... Callum is actually Alex Zane.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 2 January 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

B-B-But you just don't get it. Ugly bands (The Coral for one) are invariably rubbish too.

― C-Man (C-Man), Friday, 2 January 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Check out this Alex Zane fansite: http://uk.msnusers.com/AlexZaneFanClub
It's either the worst fake-fansite I've ever seen [the mid-teen girl mis-spellings! the lack of any info about the person who runs the site! those oh-so casually-posed fan photos!] or there are some shockingly dim people in the world [who ought to hold hands with Calum and run off into a world of bad writing about shit horror schlock and leave us the fuck alone - why do these threads exist? can't a mod just blast them away as soon as they appear?]

― Ian SPACK (Ian SPACK), Friday, 2 January 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, that's brilliant! Someone give it its own thread over on ILE, that needs discussing properly.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 2 January 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha, a rare but welcome outburst from mr cool there

Alex Zane is one of Zane Lowe's pubic lice, yeah?

Music is the ONLY thing ugly people should be allowed to do. Then we won't have to look at them and we can imagine they are just the same as all the beautiful people we get to see doing real jobs. Also, when ugly people make the kind of bad music that lots of stupid people buy, we will have an easy reason to mock those stupid people's taste that will actually get through their thick heads.

I just hit 'random'. Where is C-Man these days?

When people listen to your music, they're not looking at you. If your music sucks, it sucks. It doesn't matter what you look like.

― Nowell, Monday, 30 August 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

You people are fuckin' shallow. I mean, how do I know you're not a bunch of ugly motherfuckers with nothing better to do than talk shit?

― Nowell, Monday, 30 August 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to point out that the Who are among the all-time great bands.

I'm against the idea, despite being positively divine myself.

I'm also against C-Man.

It would mean no Fall.

Although it would also mean no Architecture in Helsinki, so there would be some good.

I tend to believe that making good music makes a person more sexually attractive. For example, I find those other two guys in Saint Etienne to be very attractive. And I know girls who are sexually enamored with Stephin Merritt.
