    They are ridiculously ****. They make mainstream pop with cheesy lyrics. Need I say more?

    The best thing involving One Direction came from Alex of All Time Low today:

    Apparently there's a boy band called Wand Erection in town tonight. Bold move taking on ATL like that, even if you ARE wizards.

    You mean to tell me it's One Direction and they're NOT wizards? Oh, no problem then.

    I actually think One Direction are alright, to be honest... their songs are really catchy and original, they're all good looking guys, and, in my honest opinion, don't deserve nearly as much disdain as they appear to be getting at the moment.

    On a side note, I disagree with anyone who says I look like Harry. :dry:

    All Time Low make One Direction look like an amazing band.

    If this thread was titled 'When drunk, One direction are awesome' I could honestly agree. I like to forget the amount of times being very drunk in a bar or club, I've danced to a One direction song with too much enthusiasm...

    It's a shame catchy and original songs don't always equal quality.

    I can understand you not liking ATL's music, but in what would make you say they're a bad band? Although a One Direction thread might not be the best place to discuss this haha.

    I was out last night and it was so funny.. I was at the bar and the girl next to me looked at me and said 'oh my god! You're Harry from One Direction! It's you! What are you doing here?' and I just laughed and started singing What Makes You Beautiful to her and she gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek!

    Yer i heard them on top of the pops and they actually cant sing, seriously. Also they can not write and just look like a bunch of babies. Compare them to real artists like jay z or nirvana or gaga and see just how **** they are...
    Since when has writing been a necessity? Some of the best and most influential artists of the 20th century, like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday etc didn't write. Singing songs written by somebody else isn't a point against an artist.

    Influential in what way ? Its not a necessity, but it shows more of the artist and then their songs have more meaning and emotion

    I meant that artists like Billie Holiday were influential in the sense that they influenced artists, shaped genres and in their own way altered the course of music history. As words go, 'influential' isn't particularly ambiguous.
