I don't know loads about Dido, Busted or The Darkness, but im gonna bore you with my thoughts anyways :)
Dido has an amazing voice, simple as that, it's not exatly cheesy pop so I can handle her stuff, although you wouldn't see me running aronud looking for her album.
Busted... *sigh*.Busted are famous for 1 thing.Bending over for their record label. Im sure the record label loves them loads, they get 3 teen guys, put guitars on them and tell them everything they have to do.Busted do exactly what they're told and get money.Nothing to do with good music at all in my opinion.I even heard they couldn't jump around in concert and play the stuff they do.. considering what they're playing, that shows you the talent these fellows have on the guitar. I mean I can jump around a bit while playing some gilbert (while looking like a dick), and they cant do chords? Pah!
Whether you like The Darkness or not, you have to respect that these guys have toured the country plenty of times before getting famous, not like some new bands that go from demo tapes to millions. They've stuck to what they want to play and got famous for it... good job guys.Plus the brian may style solo's are a good thing to hear on **** channels like the music factory.
Now i'll stop talking crap
