Nah I think there is such a thing as shite music myself. Stuff that is churned out without much effort and little talent and sells an image rather than a sound.

I'm not a fan of deliberately manufactured bands.
But some do contain genuine talent Marty.
Robbie Williams is a prime example. Love him or loathe him. He can sing & he's a true entertainer in the same way as some singers who are revered.
I'd go as far as saying that he's a modern day Frank Sinatra.
I'm sure several folk will disagree with me, but that's cool 🙂

I was only ever sick once whilst int Navy, and that was just after I'd joined mi 1st ship, HMS Bristol, which was a destroyer. My 2nd ship, HMS Norfolk was also a destroyer, so fairly large. I then joined HMS Invincible, an aircraft carrier, albeit t'smallest carriers int world, but still a lot bigger than a destroyer. We got pounded by heavy seas int Falklands, so much so, that it bent one of our shafts, but I was allus ok. Then about 20 years later, we went fishing in Mexico, wi mi son and a mate, on a little boat. I started to feel a bit queasy, as there was a bit of a swell, then mi son boffed, which set me off. I thought I'd got away wi mi mate not seeing me, but he did, much to his amusement. As soon as we got home off holiday, all my local knew I'd boffed, and i got some reyt torment!!

I have heard of a lot of reasons why Navy bods boffed and not always due to bad weather :whistle:

At the end of the day Jez, Robbie Williams was in Take That, and Frank Sinatra wasn’t

Which is exactly how this segment of the conversation started.
i.e. some manufactured groups can contain genuine talent 😉

You just need to look past the Take That side of his career. He was being told what to do back then. His solo career is a different story.

I know I’m prejudiced and am likely to get attacked by all the Robbie fans, but I can’t look past the Take That side of his career, and without that I doubt anyone would have noticed him:unsure:

Much like members of the Monkeys and all the other manufactured bands, many people have a lot of musical talent but they don’t get that lucky break and exposure that being a member of a manufactured band gives
