Posted May 20, 200619 yr Neil Tennant, one half of British pop act 'Pet Shop Boys' has taken a dig at modern pop industry and reckons the likes of Arctic Monkeys and other guitar acts are the real stars of pop music. Speaking to contact music, he said: "We are going through a phase where the term 'pop' is used to mean rubbish. "But bands like the Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers and Franz Ferdinand make pop music. â€They like to think they are rock but they are pop and all have a sense of fun about what they do and have a great look.†"It annoys me that pop gets clogged up with Pop Idol and reality TV rubbish. "Shayne Ward has a waxwork in Madame Tussauds - can you believe it?" Credit: Mardy-Bum I must say I agree with them myself :D Then again the Arctics and co. are what the pop market are listening to at the moment anyway. ;)
