What was your musical WTF moment of 2012?

[Rebel Machine]

A 2012 musical WTF momemt for me was Lynyrd Skynyrd (not that they really are anymore) dropping use of the Confederate Flag. I'm glad they quickly came to their senses and started using it again.

The Aerosmith duet with Carrie Underwood on Music From Another Dimension.

I actually love that track. Probably one of the songs I most listen to on the massively disappointing new Aerosmith album.

That Lady Gaga clip was ****ing horrific.

What did you all think of Paul McCartney realeasing a "Covers" album on the Starbucks label?


As great a musician as he is, why the Starbucks label and covers?




"I am guilty of pretending to be in Nirvana"

There are Starbucks everywhere. I bet you can't walk through any high street in the World without seeing a Starbucks. Plus, people sit and drink in there. So while they're sat sipping whatever they're drinking, Macca's album is played over and over.

It's genius marketing. It just ain't very rock and roll.
