Gear: That doesnt change the FACT that he is the one artist most people in this world would agree on being good.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

HUMOUR

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

B-b-b-but I hate Bob Marley, and so do most people I know!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

Can you give us a link to the worldwide survey where most people in the world agree on Bob Marley?

(I mean, Lee Perry doesn't like him, and he's Jamaican.)

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

Name one artist that you would think is more popular. Please. Go on.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

Beatles

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

The Beatles. Frank Sinatra. Elvis. However, I shall refrain from using the word FACT, as Ma Vague didn't raise no assclown.

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, them Beatles are really popular in Africa...

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

And young kids today dig Elvis in massive numbers? Yeah right

Prince Alla

James Brown

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

Salieri

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

No, as is well known the Beatles have no influence on any African whatsoever. In fact, they've never heard of the Beatles in Africa. I repeat my request that you bring some backup to the table before you use stupid words like FACT.

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

Um, my parents love the Beatles so I would never say they dont have any influence on any Africans, and that wasnt my point and I think you know it.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

SCIENCE!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Cheap Trick

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Well, my point is that using silly rhetorical tropes like "end of discussion" and "FACT" are useless in proving the truth of a claim. Also, the thread is called "Bands that EVERYONE loves" and lots of people have said quite clearly that they don't love Bob.

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

No one in Africa gives a fuck about Marley, chump.

Michael Jackson is more popular than Marley.

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

Diamanda Galas

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Is it not obvious that using "silly rhetorical tropes" like the ones you mentioned is tongue in cheek? Even if I believe what I said to be true?

And I dont think the purpose of this thread was to take the title of this thread as literal as you suggest(because there never will be one band everyone loves), cmon. Just the one band most people would agree is good. Please sue me if I'm wrong.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

Prepare to be lawyered.

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

"No one in Africa gives a fuck about Marley, chump."

Too bad you're talking to someone who has spent a considerable amount of time in both East and West Africa.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

is there someone/group that is popular in both India and China?

― oops (Oops), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

hahaha

Michael Jackson!!!!

MJ!

I am black you fucking idiot so those kind of lame jokes wont work.

Actually they do work because you're a scumsucking self-loving hippie-dipshit westerner.

Sorry I didn't notice the tongue in your cheek Lovelace. I just react terribly to "End of discussion" - I don't like being told when to stop talking about something ;)

Anyway, the lesson of the thread is, there is no answer, no universally loved artist.

Except Kelly Osbourne.

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

mr dean: wow. all that because I so vehemently argue that bob marley is the most popular artist in the world? you need to relax and stop being a boring internet comedian. it's been before and so much better.

haha, boring internet comedian vs. bob marley fan with his finger on the "pulse" of Africa.

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

who said I was a bob marley fan? holy shit...

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

All black people love Bob Marley.

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:11 (twenty years ago)

So was it it a study abroad program then? You don't seem the type that was going around vaccinating babies, eh?

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

I never said or even implied that. You're the one who constantly bring out the color issue.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

No, my parents are from Ethiopia and my uncle was an Ethiopian ambassador to two West African countries(Ivory Coast and Ghana).

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

jon you just fell off the wagon hard!

Gang Gang Dance

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

I think Marvin Gaye wins, unless I missed something. Although I don't really believe anyone who says they dislike the Beatles...

― Richard K (Richard K), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:39 (twenty years ago)

I don't dislike the Beatles, I just don't really give a toss about them.

― Taste the Blood of Scrovula (noodle vague), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Al Green is the only real answer, probably. I know people who don't like Marvin gaye, I don't know anyone who doesn't like Al Green.

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Monday, 27 June 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

what about portishead's first album. seems like everyone can get into that. a friend remarked that if portishead were played on public transportation the world would be a much nicer place.

― deru, Monday, 27 June 2005 23:42 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone NOT like some Siouxsie and the Banshees?

six months pass...

AAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! It was so worth trudging through all of this entirely pointless thread just to see those Bono pictures. Hilarious. Thanks James Dean!
