One Direction

I'm ambivalent about things like One Direction. There is plenty of good music out there and bands who are prepared to work hard and do the hard live gigging will always make a liveable wage. The amount of gigs of decent bands you can see for a tenner more than makes up for Beyonce et al charging obscene amounts of money (plus booking fee plus service charge) for tickets.

I couldn't tell you who are who in the charts most of the time but if you like music it's easy to find great stuff on the web via sound cloud, spotify and decent music websites.
