    <p>Sweetman has a real air of musical snobbery which fucken irks me. He seems to hate mainstream music whilst singing the praises of crap that no one has even heard of.<br><br>
    I saw RW for free in 2000. The woman I'm seeing went the other night, she said it was an awesome concert <strong>but she's from the Hutt </strong>so take that information and do with it what you will.</p>

    <p>Sweetman is one of those comic book guy type music reviewers [he even looks like comic book guy] that sneer at anything popular , he ranted about Lorde before she was ever popular  though which is weird . </p>

    Naaaa she doesn't resemble Stevie Nicks or Bonnie Tyler.<br><br>
    Fuck you've hit the nail on the head with that description of Sweetman though. He's music version of Rattue although unlike him he occasionally gets a few things right. I agree with his views on Prince for example.

    Yes I have. Absolutely outstanding ( Well, apart from the dork from ELO ) Prince sounds like an absolute cock but as an all round musical genius I can think of none better.<br><br>
    Sweetman absolutely loves him which pisses me off cos it's more fitting when he is being cantankerous and whining about stuff.

    <p>Harsh on old Jeff there. I don't think even Sweetman could argue that Prince is not a genius, the fact he's a bit off the radar these days probably makes it easier for him though.</p>

    He's a perfectly fine pop star, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. <br><br>
    But that's besides the point, that article was embarrassing.

    <p>Introduced the wife to Arctic Monkeys - she starts listening to "Arabella" and says "That would be a <em>perfect</em><em> </em>song for Robbie Williams!"<i> </i>and I raised an eyebrow but said nothing. When the next track started she made the same comment, and I said (through gritted teeth) that sharing a vocal range roughly equivalent to Robbie Williams was probably not uncommon.</p>

    <p>He's also one of the best live shows this rock/metal loving bogan has ever seen.  Credit where it's due.</p>

    <p>I once worked with someone who was such a music snob that he was almost a parody. 'Once a band plays to more than 1,000 people they've sold out and I won't listen to them' type of shit. I haven't seen him in several years, but the need to punch him in the face is the first thing I think of when his name is mentioned. (His music persona summed up his attitude to life)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Music is fun and to be enjoyed, not ponced over like a modern art critic. I'm ambivalent about Robbie Williams, but he's bought more joy to people than every fat fuck music reviewer on the planet combined ever will.</p>
