Im firmly in cant stand Ed Sheeran camp although i like Thinking Out Loud!

Ed was so overexposed for a time and he’s not always a “hit” for me but I do genuinely really enjoy some of his music too and I really felt like the Subtract album from him showcased him at his best.

 

Hes better for me when he’s not in obsessed with chasing chart hits mode.

Ed gets a lot of stick on here but honestly he's released some great music over the years (as well as a few duds admittedly). I didn't vote for Stevie Wonder but there's plenty to love in his discography!

Stevie faves: 'I Just Called To Say I Love You' (facts), 'Sir Duke', 'Superstition'

Ed faves: 'Thinking Out Loud', ' The A Team', 'Perfect' (more facts)

Both were close to my votes.

 

Stevie has been slightly hit and miss with his chart hits but has some big classics for sure.

 

I sort of see Ed as being in the Cliff category where you could make an excellent album from his 12 best songs but there’s also a lot there that isn’t so great.

I still think Ed's first couple of albums are actually really good, but he's definitely become more spotty lately (I still like most of his singles but especially on '=' the album tracks really weren't up to much).

 

Stevie don't wonder, Stevie knows :funky:

I feel very out of sync with Buzzjack on this one but I'm completely indifferent to Ed Sheeran! Stevie Wonder is brilliant though, an act truly deserving of his legend status. It's a bit of an obvious choice but Superstition is my favourite of his

 

 

(Phil Collins on the other hand, just urgh)

 

Freddie, Phil and Stevie all great!

 

Ed meh, there’s a few I don’t mind but the majority of his music im not a fan of

Stevie don't wonder, Stevie knows :funky:

There's a reason more people don't make that joke x

Because it's simply TOO hilarious?

Because it's simply TOO hilarious?

Sure, let's go with that!

Im surprised but good surprised Ed Sheeran has climbed from last year as i wouldnt have predicted that happening.

(Phil Collins on the other hand, just urgh)

 

Quite!

I'm shocked and not pleased to see Ed Sheeran this high. :drama:

Whats Sir Phil done? Yous cancelled him now too?

I heard dandy* banned Phil from Buzzjack. :( He had been a regular in the Sugababes forum.

:rofl:

Whats Sir Phil done? Yous cancelled him now too?

 

Not everyone needs to be "cancelled" to be disliked <_<

I remember back in the 90s, in my circles, you'd have been ridiculed if you admitted to being a fan of Phil Collins, he was considered a bit of a joke act (perhaps a little unfairly tbh).
