"The Streets......."

...Someone, please, tell me.

How the F*F**K did they manage to become famous for GOOD reasons? I mean, if they were running for the award of 'least talented', then....

If there's any The Streets detesters, please join in with your rebukements and shunning.

If there are any Streets fans, please tell us-

What do you see in them?

Not my type of music, but I can easily listen to The Streets, unlike most Busted/McFly/Daniel Beddigfields Whinny Sister pop crap that pollutes the airwaves these days.

The Streets are awful, like a constant drone backed by tasteless babble and offbeat rythm. Besides, they dont sing or rap, they talk, but in the most lyrically lacking sense. Ive heard mumbles from sleeping siblings better than the streets!

If you hate them so much, why post about them?

The idea is to ignore it.

Moron.

The Streets are excellent, in my opinion.

Something a little different to all this modern day pop.

What I don't understand is why people seem to ahte them so much.
I don't particularly like the band, I think they're OK, but, he talks to music, to a beat,, he doesn't jsut randomly talk over the music, it's singing without notes. It's music. It's not random, hell, it makes more sense than some of the best songs in the world.

Really, can you put meaning to the words of any "real" rock songs? It's jibberish, with good instruments.

Did you wander about the place?

Did you spot the big canvas painted solid blue, hailed as ART?! I wouldn't mind, but I bet it's worth thousands and thousands.

Outrage.

I totally miss the point of everything in there.

I went to the Tate Modern on Saturday for the Edward Hopper exhibition.

It was very good.

Poetry my ar$e.

Unless you relate 'modern poetry' to things like 'modern art', an over-rated thing that people put too much acclaim towards. Tate modern art Gallery is the biggest piece of crap I've ever set foot on.

Mike Skinner is a modern day poet. If you don't like poetry, you won't like the Streets. Sure what he does is document his life, but then thats about 200% less pretentious than the poetry you would have read at school, yet it still manages to retain a 'high-brow' element. If you don't get it, then it's because of what you have been conditioned to understand as music.

Let's push things forward.
