What a complete bag of putrid festering shite, with the exception of Amy Winehouse.  I absolutely frickin' cannot stomach Adele in any shape or form. Please, never make another album or pollute my ears or eyes, ever again. Please. Ever. |

I didn't find the Dildo album overly offensive when it was released.
What amused me was this: "Adele's 21 is the UK's best-selling album of the 21st Century, selling more than five million copies since 2011." Yes, a whole five-million copies...in eight years. That's probably the same amount that a new Beatles album, or a new Stones album, would have sold during its first week of release.

Wouldn't work so well if it was best selling albums of all time Got to sell current product ! |

As a kid we owned the good bands like The Beatles. I was baffled that The Beatles had success with great music and others had success with awful shite. Then the awful shite grew and the good stuff diminished even further |

"A recent study by streaming service Deezer found 15% of people below the age of 25 had never listened to an album all the way through." That's a lot of people. It's all playlists now innit ... I guess their attention span won't stretch to a whole album. |

I have albums you have to listen all the way through Some that have tracks you could/should skip The odd album that has just one good or great track. Rest is not worth playing. |

I was just about to say the same thing: the David Gray is a good album.
Amy Winehouse, too.
