I never hated them. I hated their music, but I must say, at least they weren't dancing around in G strings; at least their songs had a tune, unlike this rap crap that gets churned out at twice the volume of pop.

Take that Snoop Dog (or whatever he calls himself these days) song - Drop it like it's Hot, for example. I saw Top of the Pops on T.V, and was astounded to find that a song literally with <i>no music</i> within managed to make it into the top ten. There is a man talking with some clicking noises in the background. It's not even rhythmic - he doesn't even manage to talk in time with the clicks. :/

I don't like hearing people claim that bands are "a bunch of idiots" or "musically retarded" because of their record companies' ideas. Sure they don't write their music, but hey - they play their instruments, or at least look good doing it, which is more than a fair amount of the population could do.

But I didn't like Busted. Not my kind of music at all. xD
