Joni Mitchell mrzi Madonnu

“Yet someone like Madonna can be seen as a feminist hero because she’s exploiting her own sexuality rather than being exploited by some man. That’s an interesting idea, but what’s the difference between her and a hard hooker, you know? Who’s being exploited there? She’s revelling in herself, too,” she said. Before adding: “She’s got that whore-Madonna thing built-in [laughs]. She’s like a living Barbie doll but a little bit on the blue side. There’s always been that type of female. There’s always been a market for it, but the danger is that she thinks she’s a role model. And it’s a terrible role model. It’s death to all things real.”

Elvis mrzi Beatlese

Lodged in the FBI vault is a 663-page report on “Presley, Elvis A”. Within that, we learn that “he thought the Beatles had been a real force for anti-American spirit.” Furthermore, he was also “of the opinion that the Beatles laid the groundwork for many of the problems we are having with young people by their filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music.”

Tom Waits mrzi The Eagles

“I don’t like The Eagles,” he told NME. “They’re about as exciting as watching paint dry,” he said in a proto-paraphrase of Jeff Lebowski. He then concluded his cutting lambast by stating: “Their albums are good for keeping the dust off your turntable, and that’s about all.”

Nick Cave mrzi Red Hot Chilli Peppers

“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” 

Lou Reed mrzi Franka Zappu

“Frank Zappa is the most untalented musician I’ve ever heard,” he scolded. Later adding, “He can’t play rock ‘n’ roll because he’s a loser.” 

Liam Gallagher mrzi The White Stripes

“The White Stripes? Fucking rubbish. School ties? At the age of 24? Fucking hell.” Noel stuck the boot in, stating: “He looks like Zorro on doughnuts.”

Lemmy mrzi Radiohead

“It’s exciting, you know. And all the shit that these magazines like is not exciting. Like Jesus, Radiohead, you know. Fuck me, you know. Coldplay. Jesus. These are not rock bands. These are sub-emo, you know.”.

Thom Yorke mrzi Oasis

Yorke wasn’t impressed with the way they were “applauded” by the middle class, stating in London Calling, “They’re a joke, aren’t they?” He elucidated, “It’s just lots of middle-class people applauding a bunch of guys who act stupid and write really primitive music. Then people say, ‘Oh, it’s so honest.’” 

Paul Weller mrzi Roberta Smitha 

 “I don’t like him. There you go. There’s someone I wouldn’t work with. I’d fucking slap him, or something.”
