.... More like "The Westlife of Rock" © Nicky Wire (Manic Street Preachers) give Rock Music a bad name, with their lowest common denominator generic Bruce Springsteen meets Meat Loaf meets Kiss at it's most cliched & uninspired ... you'd never guess they are my least favourite rock band of all time.... :angry:

oh for Jesus Christ sake... Bon Jovi number ONE? Beating classics by The Smiths, It's Immaterial etc? And a top 10 positively CLOGGED with hideous US-big-hair trash.

 

I'm mortified.....

no i think [the 3 member] Manic Street Preachers could be more entiled to "The Westlife of Rock" as they are quite boring as well, Bon Jovi more like "the Whigfield of Rock" and should be in any cheesy pop list with Billy Ray Cyrus, 2 unlimited, MC Hammer etc etc
