64 : Scenes It doesn't matter which part of the world it happens in and when it happens. It's always the same thing. Whether it's Merseybeat in Liverpool in the 60s , Punk in London in the 70s , Bay Area Thrash in the 80s , Britpop in Camden or Grunge in Seattle in the 90s the same thing happens every single time. One or two good bands get a bit of momentum behind them and then all of a sudden about 100 shit bands copying them suddenly appear from nowhere. And the worst thing is that these anonymous fuckwits without a single original idea ALWAYS get signed by some dumb label trying to make a quick buck. Of course they all get dropped after one album , sometimes two but they still spend the next 10/15 years or so stinking up the music industry refusing to die (Pearl Jam , 17 years and counting ... Oh yes , you have an entry all to yourselves and boy is it going to be a fucking long one). And you can bet when one of these scenes pops up in a city the next time you go there it'll be full of scruffy youths and japanese tourists looking for THAT pub where THAT guy in THAT band drinks in.

63 : Phil Collins So what's there to be said about this smug self satisfied slapheaded tax dodging serial marriage serial divorce paying-out purveyor of slack jawed middle of the road dross. Smug musicians are bad enough , a smug drummer is just taking the piss. I would go into detail about his musical career but I have a very important appointment to have my toenails curled , as opposed to having my toes curled which is what will happen if I set foot anywhere within 200 meters of a Genesis album. Edit: I remember when he did that thing for Live Aid , playing on 3 continents in 24 hours. I was hoping for a 4th gig at the bottom of the ocean.
