...in the world. I really think they might be. Just watching them live at Isle of Wight and they're absolutely terrible. The lyrics may also be the worst I've ever heard. However, they have a huge audience, so maybe I'm just missing why they're so popular. Please explain? :)

Thankyeee

'Shoot the Runner' lyrics;

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a King and she's my Queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a King and she's my Queen

Dream
Dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Lose yourselves to the scene
Am I only a dream?

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a King and she's my Queen, Bitch

Bang
Bang away with my Chang (My Chang)
Always know that I can
Get your ass to the floor
Absinthe make you a whore

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a King and she's my Queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a King and she's my Queen, Bitch

Kings
Kings may come and then go
By this sword you must know
That all things come and then pass
Live your days like the last

Aahh...
And you're my Queen
I see ya
Shoot shoot the runner
Cos I'm a King and, and you're my Queen, Bitch

Couldn't agree more. Ruby? What a useless, horrible, rubbish song. Hate them. However, I look at Kings of Leon (who emerged around the same time I think) and they're so good, but don't get as much (still quite big though) attention and wonder what is wrong with the world.

Now Paulo Nuttini is on, who sings like he's had a stroke yet people are loving it?! Oddness.

Haha. I don't really like The Kaiser Chiefs but Ruby is actually a really good song IN MY OPINION. You like the Kings of Leon, I'm not too fond of them. They're not that great IN MY OPINION. You think Paulo Nuttini sings like he's had a stroke.. His voice is fantastic IN MY OPINION.

You wonder what's wrong with the world because people have a different musical taste to yourself? :rolleyes:

Is this post your opinion or are you stating a fact? I can't really tell.

I didn't start this tread to troll the fans of Kasabian, I genuinely wanted to know what the big deal was. I can appreciate that they have released 'Anthems', and people enjoy going 'AAAAAAAAH AAAH AHHHH AAAAAAH' but honestly people are aware they're rubbish, surely? Please restore my faith in society.

Has music really become this. No originality, no charisma (but plenty of unjustified arrogance), no artistic merit. I can appreciate the need for inane songs, but there were literally thousands of people there, and I feel like I've been left out of a huge joke.

Regarding 'opinion'; yes we're all aware that people enjoy different things, but surely there is such a thing as bad music, of which I think this is. It's funny that If I were to say 'Is 'xyz' band the worst music in the world' (xyz being 'the cheeky girls', 'Mr Blobby', 'Bob The Builder' et al) I bet the answer would be a resounding yes, but because Kasabian are billed as the 'next big thing' by NME or whatever, people will like the music irrespective of the actual merit. Spoon fed music, IN MY OPINION ?!?!?!!!?!!11.
