Mansun

[Refused as fuck]

Wide open space is great but all the other songs I have heard are a bit whiny. The music is great but something about the vocals grates me. It sounds like The Charlatens or something

Drew mun

Mansun were well shit. One of those lamo one hit wonders.
Sorry man, but got to teach you the error of your ways

Saw them play over here on the day Grey Lantern was released, they were in Douglas HMV signing cd's with big silver pens and everything. We don't get many bands here so it was a Big Thing.

Anyway, AOTGL and Six were ace, Little Kix was toss. Six was one of the few albums my roomate and I both liked, so got played quite a bit.

[Clair De Lune]

Oh ok, you guys have convinced me by all jumping in at once to sing their praises
I saw them live once, by accident. If only I could have got past the fact the singer was out of tune and the music was uninspiring and formulaic I coulda been as cool as you guys

Who had loads of hits.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Well this thread proves, people will listen...and spend money on shit
It means nothing.

 

[Refused as fuck]

It means you were wrong.

 

[Clair De Lune]

If having taste makes me wrong then I am Ms Wrong, Wrongitty street, Wrongsville RNG- lol

I did try to muster up some passion here but even you fans are stuck in the mud of mediocrity

[stupid dogbot]

This is the band that did Stripper Vicar, right?

Uggh.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

There's not an option for me. I would say they were better than a lot of the shitpop era, but not really great per se.

Refused drove me to it

....but really touted as The Next Big Thing in the mid-90s!

Mansun always struck me as quite an underrated band. I've only ever met one person who owned anything by them. Surprised to see so many fans of them on here tbh

Damn you for drawing me back in, now Drew is gonna hate me and I quite like Drew.
They weren't underrated, they were just mediocre, lame, passion deficient, beige, derivative, limp dicks

Poor man's Suede init. And Suede were mostly pretty shit anyway.
