Ed Sheeran is highly overrated and distinctly average. I wouldn't say I dislike his music though.
Yes he is amazing
Jumped on the bandwagon very late with old Ed.

Lego House is very quickly becoming my favourite song.
Can't stand his music just doesn't appeal to me.

Never heard of him, never listened to his music.
On this site it's rarer to find the opposite.

I'm not a massive fan of his music, although I haven't listened to that much of it. He seems like a really nice, down to earth guy though!

Not sure why there's so much hate for him on this forum. I think bands that everyone says I should listen to like The Flaming Lips, Of Montreal, Architecture in Helsinki and Arcade Fire are more pretentious and dire.

i like the guy.
Yeah people go on about him, but there's no reason to dislike specifically

You're not the only one but I think he's amazing! The production on the stuff he's released as records isn't that good though ... check out the acoustic versions on Youtube

I love that song, and the video for Lego House was filmed at my university a couple of weeks ago :biggrin:
His music makes me feel annoyed. I think it's because he's ginger, for some reason.

i think ed sheeran is one of those fad artists, that, six months down the line, people will regret even listening to. the people i know of that like him are the kinds of people that ripped it out of me for what i liked and wore when i was at school, and now are wearing the same things themselves; i.e. the whole penny loafer and peter pan collar dress brigade. chindies, if you know what i mean, so those kind of obvious bandwagon artists don't really interest me at all.

in my experience, the people i've known that are into the arcade fire seem to be these pseudo-virtuosos in all things musical, but i wouldn't say at all that the flaming lips were pretentious, unless you're talking about pseudo-obscure alternative music in general in which case we could just sit here and bash the "indie kids" and "hipsters" all day....

Yeah, I don't dislike him as such, i should have said 'not like'. But the above is a bit annoying as well...

I go to Hertfordshire too! I was quite excited when I saw 'The Forum' sign in the background :P

While I don't actively dislike him or his music I think his album is very average and I can't say I'm a fan at all.

I was so excited, and my flatmates practically spammed my facebook wall with the video. :rolleyes: What you studying? I'm doing English Lit, Creative writing and Philosophy. :smile:
