Thats because the type of people who listen to coldpay are usually twatty students

i gotta go with MJ.

Almost every artist has their lunatic fringe that thinks their artist is Lyrical Jesus.


In no particular order:

The Beatles (the Alpha and Omega of 20th century music to their extreme fans), MJ (Do I need to explain?)
Elvis (I won't open this Pandora's box)
Prince (see quote below)


In regards to Prince fans, Wilson and Alroy's music review page (www.warr.org), Mr. Wilson hits the nail right on the head descrining those of us on this site:

(P.S. I've never known of an artist whose fans disagree so much about what his best and worst efforts are. So if you totally disagree with my ratings, you're not the only one. I'm not trying to say which records are the "best": more than anything else, I'm trying to guide people who are new to his music to where they should start.) (DBW)

I doubt P's world would change based on our opinions, but some fans make other fans inquiries into his music (on this site) seem like a gladiator match. It's all music and people can agree to disagree.

lol im glad 2 say im not a fan

andykeen said:

Nah, iam not saying everyone is, but there music does seem to appeal to those stuck up sorta students. The whole walking towards the camera (whilst the camera goes backwards) whilst singing is getting lame. Loads of english videos look like that now. I hate those coldplay bands.

I hate coldplay, but it was my first concert, and i wanted 2 experience live music

i went to a KD LANG concert and i have to say that her lesbian fans that were there were the most disrespectful people i ever saw in a concert hall.

mine was prince (aged 7 or 8?)

But one in england was cast. Remember them.

"sandstorm" "fine time". Good rock band. Simple and fun.

Indie rock fans.....SNOBBY

I'd say some of the best interactions I've had with an artist's fans at least in a live setting would have to be at Bjork's concerts.

really, i like fans of anyone. every fan base has their fair share of twats and angels. i'm not gonna bash on anyone's fans.

WHAM!!!

Moonbeam said:

No doubt,Beatles fans are very passionate about them.I'm a fan of theirs too,but if I wasn't,I would be afraid to say so

Moonbeam said:

You're right Moonbeam... I am definitely guilty of this (as a Beatles fan).

Death In June.

I'd say if an estimated 30%-40% of your fans are allegedly neo-nazis or somehow connected with such ideologies I think you might have a good run in the competition for the worst fanbase.

DavidEye said:

Beatles fans are passionate, yes. But scary? No! It's scary to even admit that you're a Michael Jackson fan in these parts. Lunatics! And as somebody else already pointed out, you needn't look any further than the Prince forum for some crazy fans. Every big star has them.

Novabreaker said:

That's a good point. Whenever someone tells me they are a huge Death In June fan, I always look at them strangely. And then take a few steps backward.

kinda like Ani DiFranco. I used to hear stories about her fans not wanting men to come to her shows and her fans would heckle the men there.

AnckSuNamun said:

Oh Please!?!

i'm starting to think that maybe D'angelo has the worst.
