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

Beatles

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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

Prince Alla

James Brown

Salieri

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

SCIENCE!

Cheap Trick

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

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.

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

Michael Jackson is more popular than Marley.

Diamanda Galas

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Prepare to be lawyered.

"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.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

All black people love Bob Marley.

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Ariel Pink

Gang Gang Dance

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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!

― DoG67, Friday, 6 January 2006 03:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Damn! I gotta admit I did the trudging as well. What? No Zombies? CCR?

― jim wentworth (wench), Friday, 6 January 2006 05:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Its impossible to hate AC/DC. Surely?

― The Velvet Overlord (The Velvet Overlord), Friday, 6 January 2006 07:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Willie Nelson wasn't mentioned in this thread, was he? he should have been! everyone loves Willie Nelson!

― gear (gear), Friday, 6 January 2006 07:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm indifferent to Willie, myself.

I betcha it'd be easier to achieve a consensus if the thread was retitled "Bands That NOBODY Hates".
